Driving Mocs - Why Handmade Leather Mocassins Are Perfect Casual Spring Summer Shoes & How To Wear

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to driving mocs, covering their origins in Native American moccasins, their evolution into modern driving shoes, construction details, practical do’s and don’ts for wearing them, and color recommendations. They explain why driving mocs are designed specifically for comfort while driving, discuss various leather and sole options, and advise on appropriate outfit combinations and climates for wearing them.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends wearing driving mocs primarily for driving and light casual use in warm weather, as they are unstructured and lack heel support, making them uncomfortable for extended walking or formal occasions
• The Gazette team argues that softer leathers like deerskin and suede are preferable to cowhide for driving mocs, though they wear faster, and that mid-chunked rubber soles offer better balance between flexibility and longevity than fully pebbled or all-rubber options
• The Gazette team suggests pairing driving mocs with vivid summer colors like yellow, red, green or blue rather than brown or black, and styling them with casual pieces like chinos, shorts, polo shirts, and summer fabrics to complement their informal character
