I love moccasins! They’re so comfortable! Like wearing nothing on your feet at all! I have continuously owned a pair since I was about 15, the first pair being one I made myself while the craft director at a kids camp. Since I hit adulthood, they’ve been pretty much the only flats I own, except for what I term as my “barn boots.” I started having arch trouble when I was 12 - they started falling. Given a choice of wearing heels or arch supports, well there was no contest! I had some athletic shoes during high school and university, but I had a hard time finding any with high enough arch supports for me, and when I could find them, they were very pricey. So, except for a few years when I was a member at a gym, I’ve deemed them a non-necessity, and haven’t bothered trying to find them. I don’t seem to have the problem if my arches falling when I’m barefoot, and wearing moccasins seems to be the same. If I like these as much as I’m hoping to, maybe I’ll commission a winter pair next year - sheepskin lined and lacing up the front.
