A Question from a Southern Reader who Needs a Good Custom Camp Moccasin

But first, my rebuttal - I have nothing but the warmest regards for our friends from the South.


Hello Muffy, out of desperation I am sending this email. I have noticed that you are rather negative regarding people in the South and our authenticity of living culturally Preppy. If you will lower yourself to express your opinion to this Son of the South it would be much appreciated. 

I am in a bad spot. I desperately need a good camp moccasin. I tried Rancourt. Visually it was a great looking shoe, however it was a two month wait for product. Once received to moccasins had manufacturing flaws that made them uncomfortable and unwearable. It has now been 60 days and Rancourt has never returned my money. They are apparently popular for such behavior. I have not tried Quoddy but in talking to them over the phone they were very negative. I will need a custom made shoe. I was a runner and tennis player for many years and my feet are wide across the top and narrow at the heel. 

Also, though not a camp moccasin,  the company Paraboot, specifically the Barth, looks like a nice product. Do you know anything about them? I hear there are a lot of fake Paraboot products on the internet. Paraboot is taciturn regarding communication via email. 

Respectfully,
