Meander Moc Toe Boot – Rugged Craftsmanship, Everyday Comfort The Meander Moc Toe rightfully gets its name from a local area where we are base in South Africa, the Midlands Meander. Well known for its rolling hills, green meadows and chilli winters the Midlands of South Africa brings a sense of calm to anyone that has passed through. The area offers great Trout fishing, hiking and bird shooting which brings that sense of adventure, and with that one needs a Boot to go with it that will not only

2 reviews · Rose Anvil and Carl Murawski
A true moccasin-construction moc toe boot with a genuinely seamless sidewall and full leather lining for under $300 — Rose Anvil rates it very good value and possibly the best affordable hunting moc you can buy, despite some shortcuts versus high-end Russells.
- Verified true moccasin construction that wraps fully underneath the foot (cut in half to confirm)
- Seamless sidewall with no hard pressure points or edges
- Full-thickness leather tuck and a genuine leather (not fiberboard) supportive layer
- Self-conditioning, water-resistant Bronco pull-up leather (2.3–2.5mm, heat-pressed waxes)
- Internal heel counter with five layers of material at the heel; rubber slip sole + veg-tan midsole + rubber outsole
- Strong value at ~$279 versus $440 Gokeys and triple-price Russells
- Heavy puckering along the moc toe stitch (largely aesthetic, from a firmer waxy leather and more mass-produced/machine-lasted process)
- Overlap stitch can't fully cinch down because the lining is tied in, leaving open holes where water can get through
- Gap under the arch where layers aren't sutured together and no shank/leather wedge is fitted, so it can collapse underfoot
- Forefoot seam runs almost to the toe — you'll stand on the thread without the insole
