I bought these moccasins to find everyday loafers without padding on the sides because the padded ones always seem too hot to me. They are unlined and as I was hoping my feet stay cool throughout the day with no problem. I wear them with everything: at home, in the city, driving and shopping. They may not be contemporary in style but honestly I don't care right now, they are incredibly comfortable and the best riding shoes I've had in years. Pedal feel is almost as good as barefoot, but they are much more secure and provide enough grip for a heel-to-toe ride without slipping. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the padding, actually I was looking for a pair with no padding. but it looked like the best value for money. The padding is very comfortable but tight. You still have a very good sense of what's underfoot, but they're more comfortable than I expected after hours on concrete. My only wish is that they are removable so they can be machine washed, obviously you can't throw all loafers in the washing machine so there really isn't a good way to clean them from the inside. Overall I'll probably buy another pair when these wear out. They probably won't be shoes for 2-3 years but if they last 6 months I'll be happy.
