Socks With Mocs

Moccasins are a shoe that can be worn by both guys and girls. They are usually a brownish tan color and kinda look like a boat shoe almost. The inside of the shoe is lined with a fluffy fur to insulate the feet and keep them warm. Moccasins first came about from the indians who made their shoes out of animal hide and lined with real animal fur. Their shoes were made to keep their feet warm during the winter seasons as moccasins do today.

The indians would embellish their moccasins with beads in different designs. Today moccasins are made of different patterned material instead of beads. Although these shoes can be very stylish people tend to ruin the look of them when they wear them with socks. First of all, the shoe is lined with fur so the shoe is already warm, why wear socks with it. Thats like putting a jacket on while its 90 degrees outside! It does not make any sense. Second of all, most the time when people wear the socks, they are a pattern that completely throws off the patter on the shoes. It clashes and takes away from the beauty of the shoe. Worst of all, when you first get a new pair of moccasins they are snug because the fur is new. As time goes on the fur gets warn down from wearing it but when you wear socks with the shoe it starts pushing the fur earlier. This means that when you decide you want to wear them without socks they are going to be bigger then normal!

If you are going to wear your moccasins in the winter don't forget to waterproof your shoes to protect the fabric from the salt and water stains. Waterproof spray can be purchased at almost any shoe store. If you do wear moccasins, double think before you decide to throw on a pair of socks with them.
