Update 6 months - worn daily just minor issues with laces coming undone. Finally I made a hole in the bottom of the sole. I will definitely buy a few more. Absolutely worth every penny. They are amazing. I've never had moccasins and these double deer skins with deer soles are just amazing. It's like wearing socks made out of soft, stretchy leather, and they breathe incredibly well. I wear them everyday to work, casual wear around town and even casual wear at home or take the kids to the park and get compliments all the time. They stretch a bit but fit perfectly before and after pulling them in. I was concerned about their durability but after about 6 weeks of daily wear indoors and out I have no doubt they will last quite a while. I would avoid puddles but don't worry if they get wet. Air dry and wear, no problem.
