About Stacy Adams
Stacy Adams footwear ha
s been around for nearly 125 years. While the company makes a broad range of footwear, what makes Stacy Adams unique is our Fairstitch collection: distinctive original footwear styles that have been in the line for the better part of a century. "Fairstitc
h" refers to the white stitching along the welt of the sole that has been a trademark of Stacy Adams since the beginning. Stacy Adams footwear has a cult following, not only in swing, but in the film industry as our shoes have been used for numerous perio
d piece films, such as Titanic, Kansas City and Hoods.
The key swing shoe from Stacy Adams is the Dayton spectator, which has been around since the 1930's. This shoe has been worn by swing, jazz, and blues musicians for decades and today is a key p
art of the wardrobe of such bands as "The Cherry Poppin' Daddies," "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," and "Royal Crown Revue."
