Belmont Finance Backs American Craftsmanship with New Line of Premium Men’s Dress Shoes

Plover, WI – November 8, 2023 – Belmont Finance LLC, a Wisconsin-based financial services company known for its commitment to supporting American businesses, today announced a surprising, yet strategic, venture into the world of men’s fashion with the launch of a new line of handcrafted dress shoes. While traditionally focused on financial solutions, Belmont Finance sees this move as a direct investment in American manufacturing and a demonstration of their belief in quality and enduring value – principles that resonate both in finance and in finely crafted footwear. “We’ve always been about building something solid, something that lasts,” explains David Miller, CEO of Belmont Finance LLC. “That’s what we do with our clients’ financial futures, and we believe that same philosophy should extend to the products we support. These aren’t just shoes; they’re a statement about quality, about American-made goods, and about a commitment to lasting value." Beyond Numbers: A Focus on Craftsmanship Belmont Finance isn’t just slapping a logo on a pre-made shoe. The company spent the last year meticulously developing its line, partnering with experienced artisans and sourcing the highest quality materials. Based right here in the US, the production process prioritizes skilled labor and time-honored techniques. “We wanted to create a shoe that a man could be proud to wear, a shoe that would last for years, and a shoe that represented the best of American manufacturing,” says Sarah Johnson, Lead Designer for the Belmont Finance footwear line. “We visited dozens of tanneries and workshops before finding partners who shared our vision.” What Sets Belmont Finance Shoes Apart? The initial Belmont Finance shoe collection features three core styles, each built with a focus on comfort, durability, and timeless design: The Plover Oxford: Named after the company’s hometown, the Plover Oxford is a classic, versatile shoe perfect for the boardroom or a night out. It’s constructed with full-grain calf leather, a Goodyear welt for superior durability and resoling, and a comfortable leather lining. Available in black and dark brown. “We wanted something that looked as good with a suit as it did with chinos,” explains Johnson. “It’s the everyday workhorse.” The Plover Oxford features a refined toe shape and subtle detailing, avoiding trendy flourishes for a look that will remain stylish for years to come. Price: $325. The Belmont Brogue: Taking a step up in formality, the Belmont Brogue boasts intricate brogue detailing, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Also crafted with full-grain calf leather and a Goodyear welt, this shoe is built to withstand the test of time. Available in burgundy and chocolate brown. "The brogue is a bit more of a statement piece,” says Miller. “It shows confidence and attention to detail.” The brogue features a classic silhouette with carefully hand-punched broguing, showcasing the skill of the artisans involved in the manufacturing process. Price: $375. The Wisconsin Loafer: For a more relaxed, yet polished look, the Wisconsin Loafer offers exceptional comfort and style. Made with premium suede and a durable rubber sole, this shoe is ideal for weekend wear or smart-casual settings. Available in navy and chestnut. “We wanted something comfortable, something you could wear all day without sacrificing style,” Johnson explains. “This loafer delivers on both fronts.” The Wisconsin Loafer features a hand-stitched moccasin construction and a comfortable, cushioned insole. Price: $275. Beyond Leather and Stitching: A Commitment to Value Belmont Finance believes in transparency and providing real value to customers. All shoes are made in the USA with domestically sourced materials whenever possible. The Goodyear welt construction allows for easy resoling, extending the life of the shoe and reducing environmental impact. “We're not just selling shoes; we're selling a long-term investment,” says Miller. “A well-made pair of shoes should last for years, and we've designed these shoes with that in mind.” Where to Buy The Belmont Finance shoe collection is available for purchase online at [hypothetical website address – e.g., www.belmontfinanceshoes.com] and at select retailers beginning November 15th.
