These super cool western cowgirl rocker slide mules are great for everyday, country concerts, festival style, etc. I used to wear them to art events in NY. I resoled them with super high quality vibram soles at a cobbler. They have some marks as seen in the images, but the quality is so high that theres a lot of life in them. Super thick leather. They are true to size. Bare foot or with socks. I can get away with wearing a thin to medium thickness sock, but find they slip depending on sock texture. You could possibly wear grip socks, like pilates socks.
