I am loving the latest release from the Vans Vault, the Vans 106 Moc LX. Vans' latest shoe is a low-top model inspired by Native American moccasins offered in either tan or black.
Normally I put black shoes above all others, but when it comes to the Vans 106 Moc LX, I have to give tan the nod. The tan model is covered in suede with black trim around the ankle. The black Vans 106 Moc LX is lined with leather and is slightly cleaner than its tan counter-part.
Moccasins are known for being incredibly comfy, but a little fragile when brought out of the house. Vans latest shoe lets you look like you're sporting moccasins without having to worry about durability issues. I'm lovin' it.
