![]() I wore it hiking up to three miles and had no issues. Switch it back to shoe mode by flipping the heel up, then wear it any place you would wear a sneaker. So the Moc not only performs well around town but over trail too.Ī collapsible heel invites you to wear it as a slipper for short walks to the mailbox or hopping out of the tent for a quick pee in the middle of the night. And it sports a treaded rubber outsole and EVA foam midsole. The upper has ripstop polyester and suede construction. The Ember Moc looks like the Love Child of a quilted sleeping bag and a sneaker. Anyone looking for a more comfortable, capable way to get from the door to an adventure, from car to tent, or from tent to lake should keep reading. ![]() In short: All the lazy ease of a slipper with just enough muscle in the upper and the tread make the Ember Moc a compelling addition to the active person’s shoe collection. The shoe (slipper?) is perfect for campgrounds, backcountry huts, short hikes, casual nights out, road trips, flights, or a quick run to the grocery store.Īfter more than six months of near-constant use, I feel confident proclaiming the Ember Moc is the future of basecamp footwear. But for what it sets out to be – cozy and versatile, with a touch of style – the Teva’s Ember Moc is nearly perfect. And it’s not for every trip, so high-alpine projects are out. We reviewed it outside, inside, and around town. But you already knew not do to that.Part sneaker, part puffy, Teva’s Ember Moc may soon be part of many campers’ gear collections. So bottom line: Wear this shoe in casual environments (from camping to walking the dog to meeting friends for dinner). That said, the more I wore this shoe, the more snug it felt around my foot. It's a great feature when putting on the shoe, but it's not great if you have varied terrain that you're walking through (walking uphill or on rocky/uneven gravel for any extended period of time). One drawback, the material around the heel is stretchy. So that keeps your body warmer throughout the day too. The top layer of fabric makes them warm, and because they aren't like leather shoes, your feet don't sweat in them throughout the day. Turns out I use these every day for casual wear, or to walk the dog. But, I thought it was a little excessive to buy something like this only for a single trip. ![]() I also really, really liked that I could slip them on and off easily in the middle of the night to get out of the tent and use the bathroom (which is always a struggle with laces when camping). The Sanuks are really just a piece of fabric and less stable than a pair of Teva sandals, for example. However, they are more comfortable and because of the construction, they are nice and warm. These are light, but not super lightweight like a pair of Sanuks. Because we were carrying our gear for large portions of the trip, super lightweight evening pair was key. Firstly, I was looking for something I could wear after a long day of hiking. I was looking for a warm, lightweight, camping shoe that had tread. I bought these before I went hiking and camping in Patagonia, Chile/Argentina.
