QUODDY

Shoemaking

Quoddy, a Maine-based brand with roots tracing back to the early 20th century, is more than just a name in footwear—it is a guardian of a time-honored shoemaking tradition. In a small workshop by the coast, skilled artisans meticulously handcraft each pair using techniques passed down through generations. At the heart of Quoddy’s identity is the moccasin, a design that speaks to both the rugged beauty of the Maine landscape and the enduring legacy of its craftsmen. The finest leathers, sourced with care, are sewn by hand, creating shoes that are as durable as they are timeless.

Preserving the art of shoemaking in Maine is central to Quoddy’s philosophy. In an era of mass production, their made-to-order model celebrates the slow, deliberate process of true craftsmanship. Each pair is customized to the wearer’s specifications, from leather type to stitching, allowing for a personal connection to the product. Quoddy’s commitment to sustainability and the preservation of local traditions has earned it a devoted following, for whom these shoes are more than functional—they are heirlooms that carry the soul of Maine’s shoemaking heritage forward, one stitch at a time.
