Building Contango

Welcome! Buiding Contango is a chronicle of my experience launching a men's footwear line, called CONTANGO shoes.

I'm a corporate desk jockey without a clue about starting a shoe business.

Feel free to post comments or questions and I will do my best to answer them.

I hope this blog helps anyone who's interested in taking the entrepreneurial leap!

Voila! The finished loafer. I’m not a big fan of the sole (too thick and wide - notice the glue!?), but not bad for my first shoe. The thermal counter and toe box are showing because I didn’t skive them, which means thinning the edges.  I have to wait 24 hours before I can remove the last and try them on.
