With synthetic fiber filling, a water-repellant ripstop quilted upper, and thick sticky rubber outsole, these durable and burly slippers are designed to shield the foot against cold, wet, and rocky. So bottom line: Wear this shoe in casual environments (from camping to walking the dog to meeting friends for dinner). The bottom line: Part sneaker, part sleeping bag, the Teva Ember Mocs are designed to transition seamlessly between indoor and outdoor use. 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.
