Moccasins are often associated with being a relaxed footwear style that is perfect for strolling or relaxing but simply aren't durable enough for more demanding environments, which the Taylor Stitch Ridge Moc aims to change. The footwear style is constructed by hand with four-ounce waxed suede that has been responsibly sourced and is ready to withstand exposure to the elements. The use of suede will also help the footwear to develop a distinct patina with wear that will reveal the natural nep of the premium leather.
The Taylor Stitch Ridge Moc is paired with a Vibram lug sole along with a Goodyear welt that is weather-resistant to make the shoe excellent in a variety of conditions. The shoe is rounded out with durable leather laces and hex eyelets.
