Grats, Marsh! I'm jealous...mine have yet to arrive. You should post some pics of you in the new mocs.
Well, maybe. I have to oil them. Kind of stiff for leather footwear.

So, up popped an eBay add for a pair of Dyer moccysinns last night.

Gonna see what I can put in 'em to help my diabeettus afflicted feet.

Thoughts?



Diabetic footwear is the same as non-diabetic footwear, except that the diabetic footwear has more room for the toes to help preclude toe injury ( a toe or other foot injury can lead to amputation in diabetics).

Proper footwear should hold the foot firmly from moving, and in the case of diabetic footwear, and also allow movement in the toe area.

I would think that any moccasin would fail in holding the foot firmly, even though tied tightly.

I got ya. Gonna oil them up as they're kind of stiff. Might use both neatsfoot and picards. Tired right now. Mowed lawn, now off to pick up rifle from the smith.

Hey Marsh...Thanks for the link. As often as I am on that site I had never seen the sheepskin liners. I think I am going to get a pair just to check them out. The liners don't have many reviews but the few they have are all highly positive. Once I get them I will let you know what I think.
So, I got a pair. First look they might be too tight for me. We'll see. Might need to trim them... fluffy for sure. It was a quickee try...
