I just HAPPENED to be on Ebay looking at shoes, and I found a pair of Stafford LWBs. I instantly thought, "Yuck, Stafford, J.C. Penny's, must be crap." But then I checked them out. Made in USA? check. Leather soles with a channel? check. Double stitching around the brogue? check. Pretty high stitch per inch? check. All in all, not a bad looking pair of shoes that appear t be fairly well made in USA. I can't get a feel for the leather quality, but they do not command much money and I just might have to get a pair to check them out closer. But like most retailers, there is certainly expected to be a spectrum of quality and price. Maybe these were just some of their better made shoes at the time. Anyone know who made them?
