Stacy Adams Dress Shoes

Sometimes a brand name gets started on whim. You have a situation where a couple of men are shoe shopping a suddenly a light goes off in their collective heads and they realize something utterly profound. That shopping for mens dress shoes is a staid and stodgy situation. Well that is exactly what happened in 1875. William H. Stacy and Henry L. Adams just happened to be in the same shoe store one day and realized that all the dress shoes for men were boring and had no style compared to shoes they have seen in Europe. You see in countries like France and Italy style was often seen as something you want to wear and be seen wearing on the streets where as in America function was more important. Well Mr. Stacy and Mr. Adams agreed that day that they needed to started their own mens dress shoe company and Stacy Adams Dress Shoes were born. Stacy Adams dress shoes were dress shoes that had style without going over the top. It's no different than the way designers today take any iconic style that existed and bring it back but bring it back just a little bit different and have everybody wanting it. Stacy Adams dress shoes are no different and on of their first and biggest hits were the Stacy Adams Madison dress shoe that was basically a captoe dress shoe that had a different shape to it than your boring old captoe oxford shoes that have been around for ages. The Madison dress shoe had a more svelt and leaner look. Not heavy and clunky looking but more graceful looking than say a thick soled pair of oxford shoes are. Well these were the hit that Stacy Adams dress shoes needed and Stacy Adams was off and running ever since. Learn More about Stacy Adams Dress Shoes Here.
