These are work moccasins for men. They have a rubber outsole for durability and comfort gel and memory foam inserts for busy people. If you work in a service industry that requires you to be both dressed and on your feet (restaurant manager, real estate agent, etc.) these shoes are for you. As with Nunn Bush shoes, comfort comes first and this is no exception. They are very well made... they remind me of tricky boats. There's nothing here that shouldn't be here. Every stitch is in its place, nothing dangles where it shouldn't be. It seems they weren't designed and made by humans, but by sophisticated machines. The sole has more grip than regular moccasins and I feel like I can literally walk in them with no difficulty. As far as they look, you won't stand out in them. They look good but are versatile and are great for not drawing attention to yourself. If you're looking for a pair of affordable loafers that are comfortable and last you a long time, you've come to the right place.
