The moc-toe shoe is a distinctly American style, blending traditional moccasin styles with European shoe construction. What started as boots for backcountry guides in Maine is now offered in shoe form by a range of American brands. The various iterations are more rugged than ubiquitous siped-sole boat shoes, and can stand up to weekends camping in the woods and/or daily wear in the city. To add some Americana to your footwear, try out these leather moc-toes.
