Minnetonka Moccasin

Now, the moccasin may be “sneakily stylish” if you’re Nina or a western Sydney bogan. This season sees wedge-heeled and crepe-soled moccasins in our stores, hybridised with brogues and pumps. It’s making for some interesting outcomes. Some of these shoes look comfortable, but are not. Others look ugly as sin, but seem to wear quite well. Some don’t know quite know what they want to be, and end up being not much at all.

While Nina believes that moccasins are “worn by laid-back girls who want to flaunt that I’m-not-trying-too-hard-look”, I believe a sloppy moccasin says more “I’m-not-trying-at-all”.

If ballet flats aren’t enough for you, maybe try a sleek brogue. Even when well-worn and scuffed, a brogue manages to look great as a flat shoe. A moccasin is just one step sideways from that pair of Grosby slippers your grandfather wore, and are definitely nowhere near my One Hundred.
