I'll have to post pics of my mocs. Without changing the cool indian look I have added a sewn on thin buckskin sole cut to fit my sole exactly. then I glue on a very thin composition rubber sole that has a molded in texture that really gives it traction. I usually backpack or horse ride into early September elk camp. I wear normal boots for the trek into camp with my moccasins in my backpack. But everyday when I get up to hunt I put on the moccasins and hunt with a light day pack and my recurve.
There is no way I would wear these in cold or snow or even a lot of rain. For those days and general rifle season in November I wear boots, but I have worn my moccasins all day, day after day hunting antelope over East in dry weather. They make you more quiet in two different ways, first they are just naturally more quiet than boots, secondly, since stepping hard on a sharp or pointed rock can bruise your foot, you tend to watch your step more carefully.
