We’ve started seeing moccasins on stylish guys all over, and the trend makes sense. Moccasins are casual and comfortable (even more so than tennies) but more exciting and more of a statement than your average sneakers. Plus, you get to channel some Seventies vibes. In other words, they fill a hole in our wardrobes that no other shoe can.
The Best Moccasins for Men
Although moccasins are a budding trend, there still aren’t that many out there. To make the search easier, we scoured the web and rounded up some of the best moccasins for men down below. To make this list, we tested pairs from top brands and consulted reviews from other experts and regular customers alike. All final picks are available at reputable retailers with an average customer rating of at least 3.7/5 stars.

Clarks Wallabees are one of the most famous moccasin silhouettes, and for good reason. The instantly recognizable shoes are easy to pair with both casual and dressier outfits, and they’re extremely comfortable too. The crepe outsole makes them one of the softest shoes in our wardrobe, lending an almost slipper-like feel.
Minnetonka Two Button Boot
$77.95
Buy Now On Amazon
Looking for a classic pair of moccasins? Check out these Two Button boots from Minnetonka. First debuted in 1968, the shoes quickly became a staple of hippie style. Fun fact: these were the shoes Brad Pitt wore as Cliff Booth in One Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Minnetonka Moosehide
$99.99
Buy Now on dick’s
We like these Minnetonka Moosehides because, although technically slippers, they’re easy to wear as regular shoes too thanks to a leather upper and rubber outsole. They’re also unlined, making them a better option for warmer climates than the LL Bean slippers.
Yuketen Italian Blucher
$495
Buy Now on huckberry
As a more dressy option, we love these Italian Blucher moccasins from Yuketen. It’s a more upscale take on the Seventies staple, handmade in Italy using premium materials. They’re great to wear to the office, but we also love them as an easy way to elevate simple jeans-and-tee outfits.
Goodfellow & Co. Topher Moccasin
$21.99
Buy Now on target
We had to do a double-take on the price tag of these moccasins from Target’s in-house brand, Goodfellow & Co. At just $21.99, they’re less than an Uber Eats lunch but feature a solid build and a straightforward moccasin design. Plus, you get a soft cushioned insole —something you don’t always see in house slippers.
Brooks Brothers Jefferson
$171.75
$229

Buy on Brooks Brothers
Driving moccasins are another good pick if you’re looking for something more polished to dress up. We like these ones from Brooks Brothers, which showcase a classic driving moc design, a nice suede upper, and a reasonable price tag.
LL Bean Wicked Good Moccasins
$89
Buy Now on ll bean
If you’re after serious comfort, LL Bean’s best-selling Wicked Good moccasins are a no-brainer. They feature a thick, warm shearling lining, a soft suede upper, and a rubber outsole that lets you pop outside without changing shoes (think, walking the dog or taking out the trash). Plus, like most of LL Bean’s offerings, they’re built to last for years.
Manitoba Coyote
$99.99

For seriously chilly feet, grab a pair of these Coyote moccasins from Manitoba. They feature a cozy faux shearling lining that comes all the way up a mid-top ankle, and the exterior showcases a classic moccasin look.
Sanuk Sidewalk Surfer
$64.95
Buy Now on zappos.com
Sanuk is a great source for a more modern take on moccasins. We’ve taken their best-selling Sidewalk Surfer slip-ons from beach trails to lunch to lounging, and we love the rugged, sustainable hemp construction. Plus, they’re machine washable.
How We Chose the Best Moccasins for Men
To create this list, we reviewed some best-selling moccasins from top brands. We looked for classic moccasin designs — they’re sometimes lumped together with loafers and boat shoes, but we consider those separate — and high-quality builds. We also consulted style forums and expert reviews to cross-check our picks. All of the above options are available (as of writing) from reputable retailers with great customer reviews.
