Lanona Shoe Co.

High-fives to Huckberry for their keen eye when it comes to spotting interesting brands like Lanona Shoe Co. 

The idea for Lanona came to founder Ben Ransom in 2011, when he wanted to learn how to build himself a pair of custom leather shoes. After two years of apprenticing with a master shoemaker, Ransom, operating out of St. Paul, Minnesota, began producing footwear that is entirely American made (in Maine, Minnesota, and Florida) and American sourced (using such quality materials as Horween leather and Lanona's own patent-pending outsoles). The resulting creations are stylish and built to last.

Aurora Shoe Co. | "North Pacific"

Based in rural upstate New York, the Aurora Shoe Company has been making quality shoes by hand for both men and women since the early 1990s. All materials are sourced domestically--including leathers from Horween and Vibram soles--and assembled by skilled artisans. While their staple slip-on, the Middle English, isn't going anywhere, the folks at Aurora recently introduced their first new men's design in more than 20 years. The North Pacific is a stylish, full-grain leather chukka mounted on a sturdy Vibram sole. If you order, they recommend sending tracings of your feet to insure the best fit. After all, comfort and long-lasting wear are of the utmost importance.
