Men's Camper Moccasin

The fit was about right and they were relatively comfortable, but I broke the lace when I tried to tighten it. I then carefully pulled one end of the lace out and used the extra length on the other end to make an awesome self-invented knot to hold it together. Just by virtue of walking around, the lace broke again a couple days later. In a fit of anger, I took the four inch piece that fell off and broke it by pulling apart with my hands. You could probably lace it yourself with an actual shoestring, but for me it wasn't worth it, so they're currently in the trash. After looking at the reviews, it looks like other people had the same problem.

These mocs are cheaper than the ones from Maine. But again, they are half the cost. There is a size issue... I would recommend two sizes larger than your "American size". The leather that ties in a knot is the crappiest leather know to man. When the knot came loose, the leather broke so many times I gave up. It appears to be dried out and cannot stand any tension force whatsoever. I had to replace them. And that is not the easiest thing to do. I have not wore these enough to give an opinion on the wear factor.

I purchased these in December 2009 and just over a year later (it's January 2011) the leather by my right big toe has completely worn out - my toe does not press against that spot but I presume the leather is weak as there is now a 1-inch diameter hole there. Additionally, the laces are very poor quality as the laces on both slippers broke within the first six months of use. They don't stay tied very well and the laces broke when tying them. I give the slippers high marks for comfort and traction (the soles have treated me well) but the just don't have the durability of others I've had in the past (namely my Eddie Bauer slippers that lasted almost 5 years with everyday use but cost almost $50).

I usually wear a 12 E and decided to buy a 13E after reading the issues with small sizing. Got them in today. Holy Cow. They are small. My toes are digging into the ends and I went up 1 shoe size. They are tight. Had to take my socks off to even have alittle room. I hope after alittle wear & tear they feel better. First impression is they are not(or will be) as comfortable as my worn out LL Bean slippers. Not sure how large I would have to go to have them feel good. Very odd design. My front feet are tight and the heels slip out of the shoes. I will see.* Update: After a month or so I have broken them in to were they now fit ok. I cut the leather laces off. They didn't do much good other then get in the way.*Update #2 Shoes fitting well and still holding up nicely after 3+ months. I changed my rating due to them becoming more wearable. I wear them everyday so they seem to be good shoes for the price.

At last, a good pair of slippers!Someone bought me a pair of "Memory Foam" slippers for Christmas. I tried to like them, but I didn't. I hated them from the first minute I put them on until I got sick and tired of leaving a slipper on the stairs after picking up the mail. Those things were aptly named, all right: slippers. They slip right off your feet!I mean who in their right minds makes a pair of shoes or slippers with little or no support at the back of the foot so that the darn things won't fall off your feet? Clogs, they call them. What a dumb idea!When I put a pair of shoes or slippers on my feet, I want them to stay there until I take them off. I don't want to be slipping out of them. Nor do I want to walk in a funny way just to make sure that they stay on.These moccasin slipper fit my need perfectly. They're soft. Well-padded. Warm. Attractive looking. And they stay right on my feet where they belong, not on my mind causing me to worry that they're going to slide off and cause me to fall, or trip, or curse and throw the useless things out into the snow.Forget about stupid clogs. Get yourself a real pair of slippers. These are worth it.

For one thing, the shoe kept falling off of my foot despite it being the correct size. One method of fixing this issue is to tie the laces very tight. However, the extra tight laces increases the tension and on one of the shoes, after maybe 10-20 total wears, it snapped.I would not recommend anyone purchase these slippers from Tamarac. I will say that I have another pair from Tamarac which are amazing and have lasted me years.

These are very comfy but are WAY too large. I can only wear them at home, when I'm sitting stationary. They are hard to walk around with, due to the fact they're bigger than expected to be.

Ran way too small. I always loved moccasins - they're great "beater shoes" in the sense that I can wear them when I'm just lounging around the house, but also good in a pinch when I need to run out really quick for a moment. These looked good online, but like I said earlier, they were way too tight and I ended up returning them. Which is a shame because they definitely seemed very nice and high-quality in person and I would've loved to use them.By the way, this is actually the 2nd pair of moccasins I've ordered online that ran small, the first pair were Minnetonka's that also got returned immediately. Since I'm personally zero for two for online moccasin ordering, I'd recommend just going to the store and finding a cheap pair that you can make sure fits well. If you're dead set on these, I'd highly advise sizing up.
