Chucks
Purcells
Red Wings GT
Clarks DB
Bass Weejuns
Bass Bucks
Sperry Topsiders
Florsheim Imperial LW(vintage)
AE Park Ave

What else am I missing here, guys?

Depends on your region

but

Justin Ropers
Keds
Pf Flyers
Vans Era/Authentic
Nike Cortez/Waffle


and a ton of other more MC styles






Also, Clarks are totally an English brand.

Wallabees*
Vans Slip-on
Sperry CVO


*Jack Purcell was Canadian and Weejuns are based on a shoe from Norway, hence the name. American staples regardless of the original country of origin.
