"Moc toe" is a category that includes many different kinds of boots, from slippers to work boots to dress boots to hiking boots, because this kind of boot may be the ideal balance of outdoorsy and comfy — when they're made the right way. For this video I drew on years of videos and interviews to show you five very different, but very premium, moc toe boots.
