Nettleton is an American shoe brand with a long history of crafting high-end men's footwear. Founded in Syracuse, New York, in 1879 by A.E. Nettleton, the company built a reputation for its "Shoes of Worth" and was a favorite of discerning clients, including U.S. Presidents. The brand is also known for its claim to have patented "the loafer" in 1937. After a period of dormancy, the Nettleton brand was revived. Today, it continues to focus on luxury footwear, with a commitment to quality and classic style. The company offers a range of high-end dress shoes, often made with fine leathers, and even a "made-to-order" program for custom creations.
