Celebrate the Light: Embrace Summer Solstice with the Perfect Moccasins
Share
The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, has just passed us by (June 20th to be exact!), ushering in the official start of summer here in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and across the Northern Hemisphere. It's a time of peak light, vibrant energy, and a natural call to embrace the outdoors. As we step into this abundant season, how can we ensure our footwear aligns with the spirit of warmth, freedom, and comfort? The answer, of course, lies in the timeless appeal of moccasins!
Moccasins: A Connection to the Earth, A Nod to Comfort
Moccasins, with their deep historical roots and inherent connection to nature, are more than just footwear. They represent a blend of tradition, comfort, and a gentle way of moving through the world. Their soft, pliable construction allows your feet to feel more connected to the ground, a sensation perfectly suited for the grounded energy of the Summer Solstice.
But with so many styles of moccasins, which ones truly shine during these bright, long days? Let's dive into the "moccasin meta" and explore the ideal pairs for your summer adventures and moments of serene relaxation.
The Best Moccasins for Summer Solstice & Beyond
While many associate moccasins with cozy, colder months (and rightly so, our Great Plains Rabbit Fur Moccasins are phenomenal for that!), there are specific moccasin styles that are absolutely perfect for the summer. The key is to look for natural, breathable materials and versatile designs.
1. The Everyday Summer Comfort: Women's Natural Cowhide Driving Moccasins
For those days filled with light activity, a leisurely drive to a scenic spot, or an afternoon Browse local markets, our Women's Natural Cowhide Driving Moccasins with Beaded Indian Sole are an unparalleled choice.
- Why they're perfect for summer: The natural cowhide is breathable and molds beautifully to your foot, offering remarkable comfort without overheating. The "driving" style means they're designed for easy on-and-off and provide a comfortable grip, making them ideal for everything from road trips to simply running errands. The authentic beaded Indian sole isn't just a nod to traditional craftsmanship; it also provides subtle traction. These moccasins are a fantastic balance of durability for light outdoor use and slipper-like comfort. They effortlessly blend the practicality of a shoe with the relaxed feel of a traditional moccasin.
2. The Unwind & Recharge Moccasin: Great Plains Rabbit Fur Moccasins (Yes, for Summer Evenings Too!)
You might be thinking, "Rabbit fur for summer?" And while our Great Plains Rabbit Fur Moccasins are undeniably a winter favourite, don't overlook their surprising versatility for summer evenings!
- Why they're perfect for summer evenings: The key here is "evenings." As the long summer days transition into cooler nights, especially here on the coast, that soft fleece lining and luxurious brown rabbit fur provide just the right amount of cozy warmth for sitting on the porch, enjoying a campfire, or unwinding indoors. The supple tan suede exterior is breathable, and the double-padded sole means exceptional cushioning as you move around your home or even step out onto the deck. The unique hand-beaded designs make each pair a beautiful, one-of-a-kind statement piece, perfect for those relaxed moments when you still want a touch of elegance. These are the ultimate "decompression moccasins" after a vibrant summer day.
