My husband loves these, and he wears them any day he's at home. He likes the rugged look and how well they wear. So this was his 3rd pair, I think, and I'll be ordering them again when they wear out. Even with the frequent wear it usually takes him about a year to wear them out. Once he gets a new pair, he leaves them for the cat to sleep on under his desk ... everybody's happy!
After reading a couple negative reviews about the durability of these L.L. Bean unlined double-sole leather moccasins, I just had to add my "two cents." These moccasins are absolutely great! I've had mine for several years and have found them not only to be quite comfortable, but extremely durable, too. I wear mine more as casual shoes than as house slippers -- I wore them to work today, in fact -- and they handle both outdoor and indoor duty beautifully. I think the key to making them last is avoiding getting them wet and avoiding rough walking surfaces, such as gravel paths/driveways. I've worn soft sole moccasins as my preferred footwear since about age 5, and these L.L. Bean mocs are among the most durable I've ever had. So, if you take good care of these mocs, they'll take good care of you, too, for a very long time to come. They're well worth the asking price, no doubt about it!
Bought a pair of these moc's about 10-11 months ago. Today, I must toss them in the trash. I found them to be very comfortable and worn them often, however, both the inner and outer soles have worn through, AND... the stitching on the toes have torn through the leather leaving my bare toes without a home - hmmmm. They were worn mostly in the house on carpet and tile with an occasional trip to the patio. They have never left my property and I find $90 bucks too much to spend for 10 months service from a quality (?) product purchased from my beloved 'Bean'. I'm going to try the ones made from Bison hide, maybe they will last longer than these made from leather.
The inner sole is separating and bunching up. I have returned them and will not reorder. These are replacements and I did not have any issue previously.
