Guys I'm sorry via iPhone I can't get it to allow me to load multi pictures.

The sole stitching seems way back A compared to online photos

Congratulations on those beefrolls. I think that black mark is just part of the joy of light colored shell. Glad to hear you are OK with it. Wear, enjoy, and let us see some photos once the shell ages a bit.

On last pick and it might be me just overly looking at shoe but a strange black mark


Does really bother me so not a deal breaker
That color shell is going to darken considerably and you will see a lot of black come through all over the shoe, so the mark already there will blend in nicely....

I think we should just call it what it is: a flaw in the leather.

Doesn't look like a flaw to me. In fact I think if he wiped them down with some Venetian Cream with a cotton cloth it would come off.

Anyone know if Rancourt changed their email addresses? I tried emailing Taryn today and it bounced back. Then I tried emailing Jordan and the same thing happened (rejected by the server for the recipient domain) first initial, last name @ rancourtshoes.com Isn't that right?

That is correct but I believe Katie is who runs Customer Service now

I been talking to Katie to via email

I like the color of caramel but it is a very casual color which is perfect for there intended use.
Thanks Gents. Turns out it is because the pics I sent are too large!

Kind of annoying that as soon as someone starts to know what they are talking about, they assign someone new to customer service.

This is my favorite picture of a shell shoe by Rancourt thus far, from their Facebook/instagram page. Looks really good. I like the clean lines of this shoe more than the beef roll. Don't know if this is considered pinch penny or not. My debate is color. Caramel or Espresso. For me, navy is too casual to spend that kind of money. Can't wear anything but a grey suit with navy shoes and even then it's a bit of a statement. I wish Rancourt had more pictures on their site of different combinations.




Does Rancourt make Sid Mashburn's made in Maine shoes? Any one know? Anyone have a pair? I think the higher vamp would be a good thing for my foot, but would really like to try a pair first.

I was wondering the same thing. Any thoughts on Navy shell for work settings? Maybe some pictures to share?

Got my Brown CXL beef roll loafers. Very comfortable. A bit of slippage in the right foot, but the left fits perfectly. I don’t think it’s worth swapping for the smaller size.
