Love mine, it took me a about a week to stretch them out. I used the ice trick. Next pair I will order a half size up. Great moc's!

After all the foot pain associated with wearing undersized moccasins for a week, apply ice to help relieve the soreness.    :p   Sorry -- just kidding. I couldn't resist!

I have a pair of the Arrows, and they are exceptionally well made. You don't see that kind of quality in footwear much anymore.

Hi Chuck, I ordered my moccasins true to size but the toe part of mine were a little too tight for my liking (too narrow). So I took a small plastic sandwich bag and filled it up 1/2 way with water and took the air out of it and double bagged it. Then I stuffed the bag with water into the toe area and put it into the freezer, toe down heel up.  The water expands as it freezes stretching the toe area only.

I did this twice to get them where they are perfect now. It doesn't hurt them and it worked like a charm. I can't take credit for the idea I saw it online. My next pair I will probably order a half size bigger.

They would most likely stretched out in time from regular wear but I didn't want to have to use ice on my feet. Thats a good one Allan.

You either love the smell or hate it. When you open the box for the first time, it is like a new baseball glove on steroids.  

GMASIUK, you will not wear these double soled mocs out in a year or two unless you drag your feet on concrete. You are walking on some seriously thick leather that is tough.

That sounds like a cool trick.
I have a pair of the Canadian bushboots
They are a tad small so I will try this Ice trick.So I can avoid the ice trick,good one.

I think the Arrow Moccs are about as good as it can get for this type of footwear.
