Driving mocs still alright to wear with denim?

[zw-gator]

I'm thinking about buying a pair of driving mocs to wear around instead of sneakers.

I saw these on ebay, and with all on the talk about Red Wing boots, I figure, for the price, they might be a good buy

I'm just worried about driving mocs being "out of style", is this the case?

no.

but not red wings. nice for work boots. not for driving mocs

I'd rather be seen in public in my LL Bean slippers......and I'm being brutally honest.

Only with bootcut jeans hemmed too short.

While I won't comment on THOSE driving mocs I think they can go well with lots of jeans during the summer. You can wear them with some tapered leg models or just a regular more comfortable and fuller cut jean.

^ Yeah, I agree with Socal, and it really depends on your denim. I've never found driving mocs to be that comfortable for walking around generally, though that might just be me.

+1. i think it's the combination of thin soles and being able to feel the individual rubber nubs through the bottom of your feet.

Driving mocs are great for driving or around the house. But, for going out and any walking, I find the "tit" tread catches on things and is not comfortable. There are many other great looking and comfortable options IMHO.

I think you'd be better served by some vintage style sneakers, mocs, or proper loafers.

I think that driving mocs, these days, are the male equivalent of ballet flats.
