WHAT TO WEAR

Moccasins are an excellent alternative to modern-day footwear. They are good for the health of your feet by allowing the feet to breath more naturally. In addition, while wearing moccasins, your posture improves. Moccasins are the next best thing to bare feet while walking. They allow the feet to naturally connect with the earth's surface. Moccasins allow one to feel the ground and offer free movement for a more natural walk. Our feet muscles need exercise and when encased in supportive footwear, the muscles are not being used to the same extent. By wearing moccasins outdoors, one has less impact on the environment. Imagine wearing shoes with a heavy rubber sole and walking across a lawn versus a supple leather moccasin sole. Which would have the least impact? Shoes are heavy compared to moccasins causing the body to work harder than necessary and denying it its natural grace of form and ease of movement. All in all, moccasins are better for your feet than clunky shoes!
