I need your advice on these Moccasins

ethirtynine · Oct 6, 2007

i recieved these moccasins and the tag said "slippers", i guess they are for indoors, but i was wondering if it would be ok to wear them outdoors (they are rubber soled). i was thinking w/ jeans and t-shirt/worn in polo, but i dont want to look like those people in school who just woke up and walk around with sandals and socks. im a sneaker guy so your help is appreciated. thanks.

unless you are Native American, IMO these are slippers.......

robbie · Oct 6, 2007

there is no way to wear those and not look like you woke up late for class imo.

definately for indoor use only

JohnnyLaw · Oct 6, 2007

I wouldn't wear those outdoors.

only if you wear your PJ's outside as well.

thanks guys.

please excuse my ignorance, but what the difference between slipper moccasins, regular moccasins, and driving moccasins? thanks

I think people are being too dogmatic. Especially for cook-outs and non-intentive outdoor activities, those mocs are fine.

i wear my minnetonka's everywhere. they're regular double bottom mocs and wear really well, although after more than a year of wear, they're getting a hole in the bottom. i really like the quoddy trail ring boots; they're on my list

Moccasins are definitely 'in' for this fall/winter, though I don't think that the variety you bought are necessarily acceptable for outside wear. Generally, I think they are a really great shoe and a more comfortable alternative to a loafer or a lace-up. I wrote about moccasins on SavoirVivre New York. Barney's makes a cool pair as well as the Minnetonkas that were previously stated. Check out the post here: http://www.savoirvivreny.com/2007/10...dorsement.html

^the first pair resemble sperry topsiders more than moccasins imo.

I though I'd resurrect this thread.

I'm looking for alternatives to my spring/summer footwear like Pumas. I noticed at Barneys and Zappos that John Varvatos makes a number of slip on footwear like moccasins and this one.

What do you guys think?

I think the John Varvatos Elastic Back Slip on looks bad.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
