Demand & Expect
Footwear that Exceeds Industry Standard!
It never occurred to Neil Munro when
he wrote to his father asking for a job at his shoe company
that his response would be – no. After all, his father ran one of the largest shoe
manufactures in the U. S. and all he asked for was a temporary
job while he sorted things out after graduating from college
in 1979. Disappointed, but undeterred he later secured
an entry-level, hourly position in one of the company’s sister
facilities by inadvertently omitting his father’s earlier rejection
in his formal application. Twenty-five years later, he
still finds himself espousing the virtues of perseverance over
the “in your face” realities of today’s fiercely competitive
footwear industry.
In 2003 Neil started Neil M Footwear
because he believed that men today demand and expect footwear
that exceeds the industry standard of most domestic as well
as many European comfort brands.
If experience and unwavering dedication
are the cornerstones of quality – and we believe they are -
Neil M. Footwear has over forty years’ worth. Style, comfort and fit are inseparable
design elements. At Neil M., to champion one without the
others would be misleading and unthinkable. Our footwear
technology is proprietary and has been proven throughout the
years with other national brands manufactured in our factory.
We design all our lasts, outsoles,
foot-bed systems, and equipment from scratch. We do not use generic “industry standard”
design parameters because – people and in particular, their feet
– outlive these standards. Neil M shoes are crafted using
only the finest materials available, such as fine, hand-burnished
calfskin, durable yet extremely supple American Bison, luxurious
French calfskin and many other components that set us apart from
other brands.
Neil M has successfully expanded its
product line to include men’s belts that match each collection
using the same quality leathers that the shoes are made of. We
also offer a collection of American Bison leather goods including
a dop kit, briefcase, and duffel bag, all manufactured to our
exacting standards.
If you believe that our design philosophy
and resolve in our products to be a little something extra
we all deserve than you will be very pleased with your Neil
M purchase.
