What is a softsole moccasin?

A softsole moccasin has a soft leather or suede sole with no rubber outsole — both the upper and the bottom are natural leather, delivering a close, almost-barefoot feel underfoot. Softsoles are the most traditional moccasin construction and are designed for indoor wear. For styles with a rubber sole suitable for outdoor use, see the hardsole moccasins.

How do women's softsole moccasins fit?

Softsoles run a full size large. Size down one whole size from your normal shoe size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller whole size — the leather upper and suede sole both stretch with wear and will mold to your foot over time. Wide sizes are available in select softsole styles, denoted with a "W" next to the size.

Can softsole moccasins be worn outside?

Softsole moccasins are designed for indoor use. The suede sole does not provide grip or traction on outdoor surfaces and will wear quickly on pavement or rough ground. For indoor-outdoor options see the Home & Away collection or sheepskin hardsole slippers.

Do softsole moccasins have arch support?

Softsoles are unconstructed footwear and do not have built-in arch support. All styles include a padded foam insole for cushioning. For more structured support see the Moccasin Comfort Guide.

What is the difference between softsole and hardsole moccasins?

Softsole moccasins have a leather or suede sole with no rubber — both the upper and the bottom are natural leather, designed for indoor use. Hardsole moccasins use the same moccasin upper construction but with a rubber or crepe sole added beneath, making them suitable for indoor-outdoor use and providing more grip and durability underfoot. Softsoles run a full size large and deliver a closer, more flexible fit. Hardsoles are true to size. For a full comparison see the Softsole vs. Hardsole Guide.
