My Blucher Mocs get new Vibram soles

The pair of Blucher mocs that I bought in 2017 have had their soles replaced recently. The soles basically wore out sometime in 2022 and I've  stored the shoes so that I can get them repaired at a later date. And that later date was a few weeks ago.

Favourite Boat Shoes Wear Out - Blucher Mocs As Replacement & The Differences Between Boat Shoes, Camp Mocs and Blucher Mocs.

My favourite pair of knock about shoes, a pair of Marks & Spencer boat shoes has finally worn down a fair bit. The leather upper part has some cracks at the sides of the vamp, and the sole has started to disintegrate. The non-stick rubber sole has started cracking on the right shoe and water actually enters if you step into a puddle. 

Boat Shoes - Flip-flops for the Gentleman

The thing about flip-flops, open toed sandals (slippers as most in Malaysia call 'em) is that they do not offer very good protection for one's feet with the exception of the sole. Flip-flops also offer almost no support and its soft sole could cause over-pronation or the overuse of tendons in the feet . Anyway, It isn't that I don't use flip-flops. I do use them in the bathroom, toilet and at the beach. I use them for really short distances. But if I am outdoors, in the garden or out to the neighbourhood sundry stores I wear either one of my moccassin loafers or my boat shoes.
