T.B. Phelps Shoes

T.B. Phelps makes classic American styles, utilizing the history of some of the most popular shoe styles from our past with updated and fresh designs. The history of T.B. Phelps can be traced back to 1982 when Thomas Bates Phelps began his career in the leather goods industry. Since that time the TB Phelps team has produced millions of leather goods and sold them through some of the most well known stores nationwide. For the last 16 years TB Phelps has operated a small factory in Massachusetts where they produce belts, bags and wallets. The brand is a tribute to to Thomas' aunt and uncle, Elsie and Bill Phelps, who in 1938 created Phelps leather goods and created the first women's leather messenger bag used by the US army in WWII. TB Phelps most recently purchased Custom Brand Footwear (David Spencer Shoes) who had been making handmake footwear since 1968 with a tradition of making comfortable shoes that fit well. Using clsasic styles with updated colors, TB Phelps is now making shoes that men can and want to wear daily. The shoes are made in North and Central America. The brand prides itself on sustainable global production and sources most of its leathers in the USA, produces most of their leather goods in the USA, and plan to soon launch their USA made men's shoe collection as well.
