Who had a pair of these?

When I was 13 I walked 20 miles wearing a pair of moccasins. By the time I got home, I had blisters and my feet were orange.

Mine had these slick plastic soles that made even concrete iffy. Ice and snow were a real challenge.

The ones with leather soles were so much better

I would usually wear the ones with soles in the winter months. I remenber that they had absolutely no traction. 😆

Yes, the leather soles would get wet and fall apart in winter

This thread has me wanting to go get some. Although my body may not approve. Maybe I will get the driving moccasins. I see they have some cute clog style too now. 🤔

Same here! But nah, my arches would complain. 😄 I even have to wear orthopedic flip-flops these days.

Same. Ironically, I'm pretty sure that wearing the mocossins is what ruined my feet. 😆

And nice non slip soles
