History of Stacy Adams Shoes

Some things you just can't make up. I'm talking about when lightning strikes and things change. When a great idea gets started, it oftentimes happens by accident but once that accident transpires things are never the same again. It's how History starts and changes everything that you thought was a given.

An idea happens and it immediately takes root. You know the feeling when something pops into your head and there is simply no shaking it. Well the same thing happened in shoe history over 140 years ago. William H. Stacy and Henry Adams were both shopping for mens shoes in the same shoe store. It all of a sudden dawned on them that all the mens shoes in that store were designed exclusively for function and style wasn't even a consideration.

They immediately were not enthused about this situation and the salesman working at the store noticed this and introduced the men. It didn't take long before they realized that they both had the same yearnings for stylish mens shoes and so they put their skills together and formed the Stacy Adams Shoe company. From that point on, the history of Stacy Adams Shoes was born. One of their first popular styles was the Stacy Adams Madison collection with the Stacy Adams Original Men's Black Leather Oxford Shoe.

Some people mistakenly believe that people started wearing Stacy Adams with their gangster outfits back in the 1920s, but that isn't correct. It is this time period when they became a huge brand name of manufactured shoes for men. It wasn't that many decades before, when if you needed a new pair of shoes, you had to go to Cobbler to get them made. Not exactly a budget friendly situation.

What set apart the Stacy Adams shoes from other shoes was the intricate stitching and making colors that you just couldn't find anywhere for mens shoes. Let's face it, back then men's shoes were like Model T Fords, they came in any color you wanted as long as they were Black. They combined styles and changed them up just enough that they looked like completely different shoes from what they started with. Stacy Adams came out with completely new designs or created completely new designs. 1875 was the year that mens shoe industry changed and History of Stacy Adams Shoes was born.
