Eastland Shoe
Since 1955, three generations of the Maine-based Eastland family have been crafting timelessly classic, casual leather footwear of the finest workmanship, comfort and quality standards. Drawing from the state’s long-standing tradition of handsewn, moccasin-style footwear, the Eastland brand is known for its Americana heritage-inspired style that reflects our Maine roots and long-standing traditional shoemaking principles. Adopted by urban prep revivalists to outdoor enthusiasts to Ivy League students, Eastland’s full line of camp mocs, boat shoes, boots, oxfords, loafers, slip ons and sandals are a testament to the versatility, comfort, and classic good looks that have defined our brand for more than half a century. In addition to Eastland’s core women’s and men’s line of casual footwear we offer two premium collections: the Made in Maine USA Collection handcrafted by Maine shoemakers from the finest USA components; and the Eastland 1955 Edition Collection of handmade iconic heritage styles to commemorate our 55th anniversary. www.EastlandShoe.com www.EastlandMadeinMaine.com www.Eastland1955.com
