What to wear with
Regardless of the fact that winter moccasins occupy a leading position in the ratings of the most democratic shoes, they must be correctly combined with other elements of clothing. Although to begin with, let's talk about what you should not do:
- Men's winter loafers to wear with a suit. Like it or not, but shoes for this purpose are still better suited;
- to get a black color model. This is a color scheme that is unacceptable for this type of shoe, since moccasins go in contrast to a strict, official style;
- to put them on “out of season”;
- Combine them with a tracksuit. Everything is clear here - moccasins along with sweatpants and a sweatshirt will look funny. For such purposes, there are sneakers or sneakers. Incidentally, men's sports shoes without laces this year are very popular.

The good news is that today men's moccasins can be purchased in completely different colors and shapes - picking up something suitable for your wardrobe is not difficult. Do not forget that winter moccasins can be of poor quality, in other words, beware of fakes. In addition, such shoes can have completely different styles of execution. Although, whatever models you buy - classic, semi-sports and sports, you will need to follow the shoes equally competently and carefully.
How to care
In winter, leather moccasins must be rubbed daily with a special protective cream, in addition, treated with a water-repellent spray, emulsion. The so-called shoe wax - a transparent gel or paste, whose composition includes refined beeswax, in addition, all kinds of fats, provides excellent protection. But suede shoes must first be cleaned of dust and dirt with a special brush and foam, and then impregnated with a protective soft spray.
When choosing winter moccasins, do not forget that you won’t be able to wear such shoes in snowy weather, since you will not be able to walk normally along the road.
