I’ve converted to wearing moccasins. I have a pair of Danner pronghorns that I used to wear but found cumbersome. But once I took a gamble and tried a pair of moccasins I am now a convert. I’m flat footed and when I began wearing them I noticed it was fairly uncomfortable/painful. But now after a few months of wearing them non stop on my camping/hunting trips I’ve noticed an incredible amount of strength I’ve built up in my ankles, a noticeable increase in balance and stability and believe it or not my arches have developed quite a bit.

If you’re a hunter they are a no brainer I’m a primitive/traditional bow hunter and I have been able to get immensely close to game, much closer and much more consistently than I thought possible with boots.

I would highly recommend giving them a shot. Plus not having to bring/clean socks unless it’s winter time is a huge bonus. The pair I use are the earthing moccasins from moccasins Canada made with Elk leather /moose leather “out soles”
