If there is one shoe that combines craftsmanship, comfort and contemporary style, it is undoubtedly MOU.
Born in the heart of London, the brand is now synonymous with sustainable luxury and artisanal design, thanks to its famous sheepskin boots with hand stitching and ultra-resistant soles.
But how do you wear MOU the right way? With or without socks? And above all, how do you style them to create a look that is modern yet true to their natural spirit?
In this guide you'll discover all the secrets to wearing MOU with style and personality, with practical tips, outfit ideas and small tricks to make the most of your favourite shoes.
Is it better to wear MOU with or without socks?
Here's the answer
It's a question everyone asks: the answer depends on the kind of comfort you want and the time of year.
Wearing MOU without socks
MOU are made of genuine sheepskin, a naturally thermoregulating and breathable material;
This means you can wear them barefoot: they'll keep your feet warm in winter and dry when it's warmer;
It's the most authentic way to wear them, just as the brand intended.
Wearing MOU with socks
If you prefer a drier feel or want to protect the inner lining even more, you can also wear MOU with socks;
The key is to choose thin, breathable socks that don't squeeze the foot.
Tip: choose socks in fine wool or organic cotton, neutral or tone-on-tone with your MOU,
to keep the look elegant and consistent.
Which socks to choose for MOU
The right sock can enhance the comfort and style of your MOU.
Here's a quick guide to choosing the perfect one for the occasion:
Ideal
Merino wool: natural, warm and breathable, it prevents moisture;Organic cotton: light and perfect for the in-between seasons;
Cashmere blend: for a luxury touch and unbeatable comfort.
To avoid
Synthetic or acrylic socks, which stop your feet from breathing;
Socks that are too thick, which can change the fit.
A touch of style: let the edge of the sock peek out above the ankle, especially if you choose
a neutral colour or a pastel shade that matches your MOU.
