Quoddy Trail Moccasin Company

Quoddy Trail Moccasin Company
Made in Maine

Operating as fifth generation shoemakers, Quoddy’s attention to detail and quality is a rarity in market of cheaply made shoes. According to Quoddy, experts hand-craft all of the shoes from start to finish. Quoddy's method for constructing moccasins is an old Maine tradition, and takes place in a 100-year-old barn on the St. Croix River. The time honored techniques and quality materials are apparent in every pair made, ensuring comfort and durability in every pair of Quoddy handsewn shoes.

As the story goes:"The Shorey family has been making moccasins for generations, beginning with Harry Smith Shorey, a handsewer for L.L. Bean in the early 1900s, who also had his own shop in Burlington-Lowell. Today, we continue his fine tradition on the Quoddy Trail. In Downeast Maine, near the shores of the Passamaquoddy Bay, we make our traditional moccasin styles using the same time-honored techniques and quality materials. Each process is done by hand — cutting, skiving, stitching, and handsewing.


All of our styles have in common a one-piece vamp, which wraps around the entire foot. This is handsewn to the "tip" with locked stitches to ensure comfort and durability, the two most important benefits of moccasin construction. All styles have full leather sock liners (not just half) and heel padding for added comfort and cushioning. With Quoddy, you receive a genuine handmade moccasin. While leather properties vary slightly with every hide, each pair demonstrates our philosophy: Attention to detail and no shortcuts. Also, many of our moccasins can be made in special widths or sizes without an over-sized pricetag."
