Soft, flexible, very casual shoes that look like lace-up moccasins. Lining for warmth with a higher ankle but nothing to stomp in the snow. The outsole has circular lugs on the underside instead of the typical grooved treads. Suitable for errands, housework, casual weekends, etc. Shoe sizes are Chinese only - 46 = 10.5 US, etc. Decorate them a little and make them look less like high ankle slippers. It depends on what you want from the look of the shoe, so just pay attention. The crease is shallower than most similar shoes, making them a good choice for travel or to carry in a backpack for a change of shoes.
