5 out of 5 starsI was not expecting these sandals to be as comfortable as they are. The leather is incredibly soft, more so than any other leather piece I own. I purchased them to go with a costume, but I'm thinking I'll daily drive them for a while. I have a wide foot and they were able to accommodate me for an additional charge. I would definitely buy these again.

5 out of 5 starsI bought this for when I have to carry heavier things, like the quarters for laundry, and wear, so I don't keep putting them down and forgetting them. $20 in quarters is pretty heavy and bulky. Actually, I was just looking for an excuse to buy this beautiful bag, and I will probably get the smaller one as well. I haven't thought of an excuse yet, but it's just so pretty.

About TreadLightGear
Simple. Light. Durable. Eco-Positive.
Isn't everyone tired of wearing disposable, uncomfortable, low quality, imported footwear ? So was Manna. That's why in 2000, she started stitching away, creating her own line of footwear made right here in the United States. The bull hide used to create Tread Light moccasins are sourced from Colorado and Wyoming where the state law dating back to the 1800's is "range free", meaning if you Don't want livestock on your land, you put up a fence! The tannery we work with is family owned, and located in Wisconsin. Tread Light moccasins are both Funky and classic! So comfortable, our customers say they are like a hug on your foot!
