featured: moccasin shoes

Hi everyone! Many of our shoes feature a mocassin design. That’s all very interesting – but what does it actually mean? And why is Wolky such a big fan of moccassins? Well, I’m going to explain using this semi-finished example. This is what we call a moccasin. On a mocassin, the leather wraps right the wat round the foot. On the underside, the leather is sown together with a flat seam. That means you don’t feel any uncomfortable edges or seams along the side of your foot. Wolky’s footbed is inserted for even more comfort. Another advantage is that the moccasin design makes the shoe extra flexible. So it feels as comfy as a slipper. There’s a difference between shoes made entirely in the mocassin style and shoes that only have a moccasin toe. The models in our popular Roll Moc line are a good example of this. Note that the seam on top is double-stitched by hand. As a result, there are tiny holes in the leather. So, if you wear them in heavy rain or when walking through wet grass, you might feel a little moisture coming through the stitching holes. Our top tip: spray well with a water repellent shoe spray every two weeks! Try one of our moccasin shoes for yourself, and believe me, you’ll never want anything else!
