Weekly Comfort Item: Driving in Comfort with Driving Moccasins

For daily commuters being comfortable is a big deal. Enter the music, the name brand coffee and the ultimate, comfortable driving moccasins. Driving moccasins have been a classic style for years. Still worn by many Europeans and the elite and stylish, driving moccasins have a place in one's wardrobe. Believe it or not, Frasier Crane is not the only person who buys driving moccasins. In fact, today's driving moccasins are not only stylish but also comfortable and in some cases quite luxurious.

There are a couple of perks to driving moccasins commuters should truly consider. In addition to having a safe, nubbed sole that allows one to have secure footing, the shoes are flat, sturdy and ideally the perfect shoe in which one should drive. The other perk for women is that wearing driving moccasins while driving eliminates the ugly scuff that always shows up on the back of the right shoe as a result of driving in heels or other shoes when comfortable driving moccasins should and could be worn.

Elegantly designed, comfortable and well made driving moccasins are available for men and women. A great choice of driving moccasins for men is the H.S. Trask Driving Moccasin. Very European in style, the beautifully designed driving moccasin is masculine, sleek and comfortable. Features include smooth Antelope leather uppers, soft sheepskin lining, multi-density removable foot bed made with memory foam and double-needle hand stitching construction created for a well made, flexible and durable moccasin. Available in dark brown, light brown and black, the average retail price is $101.

Both men and women have several great options in terms of brands of driving moccasins. Major designers create the comfortable driving shoe including Kenneth Cole, Cole Hahn, Coach, Celine, Michael Kors, Polo, Timberland, Ralph Lauren, Minnetonka and many others.

The method to the madness is - just like one wears court shoes for tennis, track shoes for track, and running shoes for running - driving moccasins have a place in every wardrobe. In fact, worn without socks they are downright cool. Who knows, maybe one day insurance companies will give a discount for wearing proper driving shoes. A girl can only hope.

All it takes is a trip to Italy as a student, tourist or professional traveler to realize that the shoes that work in the U.S. may not necessarily work on the cobblestone streets and walkways of Rome. Wise up students and travelers and look for comfortable shoes and comfortable boots to accommodate the geographical environment.

After scratching up and destroying the leather on the high heel of a pair of really fly boots, you'll realize that walking down a sidewalk in the U.S. is not the same as walking down the old cobblestone streets of Rome and other European cities. This is an easy way to quickly destroy one's shoe budget. It is definitely necessary to find comfortable shoes to accommodate the geographical environment of countries that don't have modern streets, walkways and roads.

For students studying abroad, plan on purchasing comfortable shoes and comfortable boots that allow you to maintain your footing without destroying the investment of your footwear. A great choice of low-quarter boots, which can be worn year round, is the Vigotti Amari. Trendy and made of premium leather, the low-quarter boot has a flat heel and a non-slip rubber sole in addition to a comfortable, round toe ideal for walking. A great choice for men is the Timberland Urban, which is a comfortable boot and can also be worn year round and is well made and rugged, providing solid footing.

During the winter in Europe, flat riding boots, Uggs, and other good walking shoes and solidly constructed boots that are able to tread the surface of a rough road or walkways are what is required to feel secure and in control. One must consider comfortable shoes to accommodate the geographical environment in whatever country being visited to avoid spills, falls and the destruction of heels.
