    Quality & Craftmanship Since 1804

      As one of the many heritage New England shoe manufacturing names, L.B. Evans goes back to 1804, when Thomas Evans and Amos Evans were running a small shoe business inside a general store in the town of South Reading (present day Wakefield, MA). And Lucius Bolles Evans, the second generation of Evans, started in the shoe business on his own in 1841, at that time founding the present company L.B. Evans which bears his name. Through many wars and depressions, L.B. Evans has survived. The tradition continued for well over a hundred years with the same values and commitment to quality. Today many of the traditional gentleman’s slipper styles are still part of the line, and the collections have grown to include new updated classics, premium products including elk and deer, and an array of rugged, comfort and warm outdoor styles for all genders. Because L.B. Evans uses only the finest materials and time-tested construction methods, you will feel the ultimate in softness, flexibility, and pure comfort. A proud heritage of craftsmanship makes L.B. Evans the most popular choice for slippers and leisure footwear. L.B. Evans gives its comfort and luxury a brand new meaning.
