Durable shoe designer Main Mountain Moccasin created the new Watch Shoe design -- a unique take on classic moccasins that are rugged enough to be used for tracking game.
The shoes feature an underlay collar that gives a sleek appearance, a mudguard to ensure a durable and reliable product as well as the brand's famous Vibram Morflext outsole for maximum comfort. The Natural Essex Leather was used to provide a stunning patina with aging, as well as a handstitched construction so that each pair can be re-soled whenever needed.
Finishing off the look for the new Watch Shoes, the brand added locally made waxed-cotton laces and foam liner for ease of wear atop the classic brown-beige leather staining.
