Minnetonka Driving Moccasins

These deerskin Minnetonka driving moccasins are awesome! I've owned several pairs in different colors over the past decade or two and have been very pleased with all of them. In fact, they're among my favorite footwear. They feel every bit as good on your feet as soft sole slippers, but with the rubber nubs on the bottom, they wear considerably longer, so they're just as practical for outdoor wear as indoor wear. I wear mine as casual shoes and as house slippers about equally. I think they look great when worn with jeans especially. I can't understand why they're not a lot more popular, although I'll admit they do have one drawback -- if you get caught out in the rain with them, they do have a tendency to soak up water like a sponge.
