Just when you thought you had your summer footwear rotation all figured out, Bespoke Post enters the fray once more, delivering some of the coolest shoes for men in the process. At least, that’s this writer’s take as one examines the rugged, exceptionally well crafted Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs, a pair of shoes that’s somewhere between a dressy loafer and a more laidback boat shoe, all the while featuring the kind of construction not found in your everyday pair of stylish men’s shoes for summer.
It’s exactly the sort of collaboration that’s so refreshing to see, for both your wardrobe at large and in the menswear world, as effortlessly cool NYC retailers Bespoke Post scour the market for the coolest gear for guys — and Maine-crafted Rancourt certainly passes muster in that regard.
There’s heritage quality in every stitch of these hand-sewn shoes, featuring Wisconsin leather that’s then crafted into fine form in Maine by the iconic, family-owned company. As Bespoke Post notes in fact, “the Doubleshot’s deep wax infusion builds a rich, glossy patina with wear,” making the handsome Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs a pair of essential shoes for your wardrobe, whether styled with light wash jeans or stretch chino shorts and a knit polo.
Plus, a natural rubber outsole, as Bespoke Post notes, “delivers serious grip and all-day comfort underfoot,” while only 125 limited-edition pairs offer premium quality at a premium (and increasingly rare) price. The Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs also feature antique brass eyelets and contrasting leather laces (not unlike the previous Bespoke Post x Rancourt shoes shown above).
Even the leather itself is weather-resistant and built to last while developing its own rich patina over time, and it’s no doubt in my mind that the Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Moc will more than hold its own against repeat wear and tear, no matter the occasion — from the BBQ to the boardwalk and everywhere in between.
Take heed, though: Bespoke Post made just 125 pairs of these exceedingly stylish and heritage-quality moccasin shoes for men, so amp up your summer footwear rotation accordingly.
