We love innovation. But in some cases, the best way to move forward, is to take a step back. The Roo moccasin is footwear uninvented. Made with natural materials that are high in quality and few in number, these men and women's nubuck loafers are built to let you fully experience the world through which you move.

Nubuck leather uppers in custom colors wrap your foot in rich, breathable texture. This leather has the smooth, protective qualities of a top grain leather with a touch of the softness you normally get from suede. The traditional suede soles are flexible and soft, well-suited to both indoor and dry outdoor use. Suede is naturally durable and initially non-skid, wearing into a smoother, moisture-resistant surface over time. Don’t worry, you can always restore the soles’ non-skid properties by gently rubbing the sole with a wire brush!

Inside these men's and women's nubuck loafers, luxurious sheepskin insoles embrace your feet and keep them protected, dry, and oh-so-comfortable. Genuine sheepskin is nature's heat regulator—it keeps feet dry in the summer and cozy in the winter! Inner elastic hugs the ankle for a secure fit that’s easy on, easy off…that is, if you ever decide to take them off!

  • Genuine sheepskin insoles keep feet dry in summer & warm in winter while providing comfort and cushioning
  • Indoor / dry outdoor shoe
  • Elastic ankle closure—easy on and off
  • Can be worn with or without socks
  • Made with premium, responsibly sourced leathers. Color swatches are available upon request.
  • Handcrafted in Oregon, USA.
  • Custom shoes in brand new condition are fully returnable according to the terms of our return policy.

You can measure your feet or your child's feet at home using a book, a ruler and a wall. You can then see where the measurement fits on our unisex shoe size chart to find the recommended shoe size.


Measure Your Feet...

sizing-feet-steps
Place bare foot with heel barely touching the wall and longest toe barely touching the flat spine of a book. Step away carefully and measure the distance from the wall to the book.

... and Find Your Size

Once you have the measurement, look for it on the charts below to find the recommended Softstar shoe size. Contact us if you have questions.

Note: we do not recommend tracing feet because doing so usually gives a larger measurement.

Care Tips for Full Grain (smooth) Leather Shoes

Includes Sublime, Nova, Dublin, Highline, Torino, Shiny, LITE, Plonge, Aged, and Vegetable-Tanned Leathers

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly leathers tanned in the USA. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and hide markings is to be expected. Because we use leather colored with non-toxic food grade dyes, there will likely be some initial color transfer to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but we don't recommend wearing your new Softstars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin.

If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a dry cloth. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe and let sit stuffed overnight to stretch. Do not use a damp cloth as the water can stain the leather or innersole of some leather types, rendering it non-returnable.

MAINTENANCE:

Most full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant, but our special vegetable-tanned leather (available only by custom selection on some of our design-your-own shoes) and Colorado leather are "naked" leathers and will stain from water alone. You can clean shoes as needed with water dampened cloth and let air dry, but please note if you do this on vegetable-tanned or Colorado leather then you will need to wet/stain the entire shoe to avoid water marks. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but be careful to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. Do not use mink oil on your shoes, as it can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing on smooth leather for enhanced water resistance. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look, which can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. scuffing toes).

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer. For all of our leathers (except vegetable-tanned) you can clean by hand with a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water. Let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results. Just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying by stuffing with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Suede and Nubuck Shoes

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly, tanned in USA leathers. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. Because we use natural food grade dyes in our leather, there will likely be some initial color transference to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but please do not wear your new Soft Stars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin!

If your shoes are a little snug at first across the top of the toes, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a slightly damp rag. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe (don't worry, you won't hurt it). Let the stuffing sit in the shoes overnight to stretch the leather.

MAINTENANCE:

Use a suede brush to remove dirt. You can also choose to use a suede/nubuck leather care product to protect against stains and water absorption (we recommend Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof). While not necessary, it will help keep your shoes looking new over time. Do not use generic leather care products on suede, but only those specifically formulated for suede. Products for full grain or smooth leather will be too oily and may permanently darken and mat suede fibers. Please do not use mink oil on any Softstar shoes as it will mat the fibers of our natural leather and will break down the adhesive soling on styles that have bonded soles.

Over time, suede outsoles naturally develop a smoother surface with wear If you’d like to refresh the texture and add some extra grip back, a quick touch-up with a suede brush can easily restore the nap.

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product because it will strip the leather of it's natural oils and cause it to dry stiffer. When a suede brush is not enough, you can use a damp cloth or hand wash your suede shoes with a gentle shampoo and cool water, then let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results—just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Be sure to give your wet shoes ample time to air dry. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying process by stuffing them with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Sheepskin Boots

Softstar Phoenix boots are made from genuine, high quality sheepskin.

While genuine sheepskin is incredibly cozy and beautiful, it is also delicate and will stretch under strain. When wearing your Phoenix boots, use care to avoid stepping off the back or sides of your heels while you walk as doing so repeatedly can affect the shape of the boots and alter the way they fit. The best way to prevent this is by insuring you purchase the correct size. For adults, we recommend selecting a boot size that fits very snugly at first, as they will stretch over time. For children, growing room is important, so a little extra space is recommended. If possible, have your kids wear their boots the first few times on dryer days to give them time to form to their feet.

The boot uppers are made from eco-friendly leathers that are tanned in the USA. Our leather hides are natural products and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. If you need to clean your boots, wash gently by hand with a damp cloth and let them air dry.

Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather care product, but take care not to get any oils on the edges of the rubber soles. Mink oil, specifically, will degrade the sole adhesion and can lead to separation of soling over time—we do not recommend the use of mink oil anywhere on our boots, as it can eventually seep down to the sole. For general conditioning we recommend Bee Natural Amore, For enhanced moisture protection we recommend Bee Natural Rain and Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing. Be careful to use these products only on the smooth leather portion of the shoes and not on the suede cuffs (leather care products designed for the full grain leather uppers may permanently darken suede). It is not necessary to apply a suede protectant or waterproofing to the cuffs, but doing so may help keep that portion of the boot looking clean. If you do choose to add extra protection to the suede, be careful to use a product specifically made for suede leather.

Sheepskin boots can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully soaked with water. You can speed up the drying process by stuffing the boots with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day. If they become this wet, be very careful to avoid wearing them again until fully dry because the leather will be more susceptible to stretching and the fit may alter. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

    Amazing Shoes!

    Rating

    These shoes are so amazing! I got the NUBUCK raven material all over and it looks stunning in person! Very comfortable and fun to feel what is beneath my feet.

    My very own pair

    Rating

    I saw these slippers on a friend a while back and bought them as gifts for my husband and son. Then I envied them, and decided to buy my very own pair, which I love. They are soft and warm and practical. I have bunions and can have a tough time finding good comfortable shoes and slippers, but my Softstars are perfect. Highly recommended!
  3. Verified Buyer

    Love these shoes!

    Rating

    These are amazing soft soled moccasins. Super comfortable, warm, and great for hard to fit people like me. Will be getting another pair!

    Converted slipper wearer!

    Rating

    I don't really wear slippers but was looking for something so I didn't keep ruining my socks around the house. These slippers are perfect - incredibly comfortable, soft, warm and lightweight. Softstar has great customer service too, definitely recommend!

    Very Comfortable

    Rating

    These are the most comfortable slippers I've ever owned. I love that they're leather as well. I feel comfortable wearing them outside and walking through the yard with them. The inside is very soft and they're really lightweight.

    particular teen wears them everywhere

    Rating

    My child is very particular about her shoes being comfortable. Her feet are wide and tall and finding a new pair of shoes is often a long process. Initally I got them thinking they might be okay for her to use as house and yard slippers, but now she wears them everywhere. Yay!
  7. Big Softstar Fan

    Rating

    Love these moccasins! This is my second pair, I wore the first pair for years. Now that I’m retired, I wear them every day., all year long, because they’re warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
  8. Verified Buyer

    Best Shoes Ever

    Rating

    These shoes are great. I keep them at my desk and wear them all day at work. They are indoors only shoes because of the soles. I ordered a wide width (even though I'm usually a regular width) because the wide size allows me to wear my 'correct toes' with these shoes with enough room for my toes to splay out while I have the spacers on. I cannot get over the top premium quality of these shoes. The handmade quality is unmatched and I am so happy I made this purchase.
  9. I finally got my own pair

    Rating

    My kids went through several pairs of roo mocs when they were little. I finally got my own pair this year after moving to a colder climate. They're so warm and comfortable that I want to get another pair for outdoor use.
  10. Love my slippers!

    Rating

    Cozy, soft, warm - yet sturdy enough to take out the trash or fill the birdfeeder. Love my new Softstar slippers. Thank you elves!
  11. Best Ever!

    Rating

    I measured the size as directed with some concern as my feet are very narrow, with recent ankle fracture and am diabetic with much arthritis in my feet. I now have worn my slippers daily for about 2 months. They are the best ever, fit perfectly, comfortable, flexible and I expect will wear exceptionally well.
  12. Look great. Very comfortable.

    Rating

    Bought these for a friend. She says “Very comfortable. Great conversation starter. Left your contact info with my doctors and several others.”
  13. I look forward to putting these on every night when I get home.

    Rating

    So, so soft, so warm. My first pair and they will not be my last. I was concerned about the bottoms slipping on the hardwood floors but there has been zero slippage!
  14. Love Them

    Rating

    I bought these for myself and love them. The size that was recommended based on my measurements that I sent in - is a little on the floppy side and if I order again I would go down a size.

Customer Questions

Softstar moccasins are beloved for their genuine sheepskin soles and ultra-comfortable feel. They have a free form nature that allows them to fit many different sizes and shapes of feet with ease, so the best size for you may vary depending on whether you prefer a snugger fit or a looser fit.

As a general rule of thumb, if you feel your toes pressed against the front seam of the shoe then the length is probably too short and a larger size is recommended. If you have more than a thumb's width of space between the end of your toes and the front seam (with your heel all the way back in the moccasin) then the length is probably too long and a smaller size is recommended. If any part of the moccasin feels slightly too snug on your foot then it will likely stretch out on it's own and loosen up as you break-in the shoe. With a little wear, you will notice the moccasins will naturally stretch out to mimic the shape of your feet. You can also speed up this process by "working" parts of the leather over the end of a broom handle to immediately stretch it out

When you receive a new pair of moccasins, you might find it is hard to tell apart the right from the left. The size tags will be on your inner ankles, so if you hold the left moccasin on the left and the right moccasin on the right then the tags should be next to each other. Keep in mind that your new shoes will stretch to take the shape of your feet as you break them in and the left and right shoes will eventually look more distinct.

We occasionally hear this question from customers who worry that feeling the seams will annoy them. In our experience, 99% of these customers no longer notice the seams after a day or two of wear. This is partly because it is very easy to get used to the seams and party because they become "looser" as the moccasins break-in.
