Mocking the moccasins

After a lovely jumbly evening of adult conversation, home baked pizza and beautiful live piano music provided at my sister-in-law's house we resorted to the usual childish banter fueled by alcohol or lack of sleep.

At the end of the evening I wish I had my camera with me. My brother-in-law sat in a low atmospheric light, mounted guitars and other instruments behind him. He looked like a cool, modern man verging on the look of a rock star; an impressive portrait in itself. What really struck me was that he was wearing...moccasins!
(Ha- sorry Ian!)

Minnetonka Moccasin Men's Venetian Slippers-Size 9Apart from the funny name of the things and the fact that they are the preferred indoor footwear of my parents, I was intrigued why a person with generally pretty good taste might choose to wear them!

After a discussion I can see that they are comfortable on a hard wooden floors (us ladies were after all wearing comfy boot slippers) and they do have good hard wearing soles that can be worn for the occasional trip outside so actually a practical choice.

My husband wears flip flops or indoor trainers but neither are as comfy.

So the question is 'Why not?!'
