RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

[jphalligan5187]

Just received the Rancourt rangeley beefroll moc and they are AMAZING. Most comfortable shoes I've ever put on, and the chromepak sole is thick, but I believe there are two additional layers of leather ontop of the chromepak sole. I measure just over a 9 on Rancourt's sizing chart, and purchased a 9.5 as I wanted to be able to slip them on relatively easily and I chose wisely. Nice and solid when on the foot without sliding or slippage and still easy to slide on without putting much stress on the heel. Very happy with the purchase and will post pictures shortly.

Nice! I was looking at getting some a while ago and they dropped off my radar accidentally. Can’t wait for pics.

Here is the best I could get with a busted camera on my iphone. I also didn't realise they were going to be lined. I have 6 other pairs of Rancourts and this is my first lined pair. They are unbelievably comfortable, hands down the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Look great too. They are pretty heavy duty, the sole is seriously thick and the leather all around is very sturdy.

New sherman camp mocs on crepe sole

How do you like that sole? Do you think Rancourt would do the plain camp moc soles with those?

I love the sole, very springy and supportive and somehow "stickier" or grippier than other crepe soled shoes I have had (Alden and Clarks). I can't speak as well as some other posters on whether they'll switch a sole for you as this is my first purchase. Their customer service was very responsive when I had sizing questions.

Probably Brannock, but if you were to then wear them with thick socks, when you went back to sockless they would be noticeably looser. Not after just one time with thicker socks, but after a few.

I was mildly concerned that I needed a half size larger in my Sherman mocs. Tight in the toe box, heel and across the top of my foot. Wore them all day today with hiking socks (including tons of walking and a 12 mile bike ride) and just took off the socks and put them back on sockless and they are now perfect.

Any camp moc owners out there care to comment on their purchase(s)? Obviously value is incredibly subjective - but do you feel you notice an appreciable difference in the longevity of your camp mocs over, say, Eastland or LL Bean? $250 isn't bad in the scheme of handsewn, made in the USA, but just trying to weight what footwear I should invest in. Thanks!

My Rancourt camp mocs were absolutely worth every penny IMHO. I have one pair of Gilman camp mocs and two pairs of Sherman camp mocs. I prefer the Sherman camp mocs to the Gilman ones, but I wear both a lot. The Reltex Lactae Hevea soles on the Sherman camp mocs are more comfortable overall and the soles are taller. I bought all of them TTS (ie, true to my barefoot Brannock measurement).

Caramel Reeds for last Friday's showing of Infinity War:

So glad it's getting warm again here, I really missed wearing these.

Does anyone know if someone stocks a shell Rancourt moc or boat shoe with a lactea sole or softer white boat sole. I guess I'll take a crepe sole, but that's a little heavy if I remember correctly. I've found the camp sole with the mini nubs to be kinda hard. Don't want to go MTO. Thanks.
