How to Style and Wear Mou Shoes: The Complete 2025 Guide

If there is a shoe capable of combining 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 hand-stitched sheepskin boots with ultra-resistant soles.

But how do you wear MOUs properly? With or without socks? And, above all, how do you combine them to create a look that's modern yet true to their natural spirit?

In this guide, you'll discover all the secrets to wearing MOUs with style and personality, with practical advice, outfit ideas, and little tricks to make the most of your favorite shoe.

Is it better to wear Mou shoes with or without socks?


Here is the answer

It's a question everyone asks: The answer depends on the type of comfort you want and the time of year.


Without socks

The MOU are made of genuine sheepskin, a naturally thermo-regulating and breathable material;
This means you can wear them next to your skin: they will keep your feet warm in winter and dry when it's warmer;
It's the most authentic way to wear them, as intended by the brand itself.

With socks

If you prefer a drier feeling or want to further protect the inner lining, you can also wear the MOU with socks;
The important thing is to choose thin and breathable models that do not compress the foot.

Tip: Choose socks in fine wool or organic cotton, neutral or tone-on-tone with your MOU, to maintain a stylish and cohesive look.

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:

Ideals

Merino wool: natural, warm and breathable, prevents humidity; Organic cotton: light and perfect for the mid-seasons;
Cashmere blend: for a touch of luxury and unparalleled comfort.

To be avoided

Synthetic or acrylic socks, which prevent perspiration;
Socks that are too thick, which risks altering the fit.

A touch of style: let the edge of the sock show above the ankle, especially if you choose a neutral color or a pastel shade that recalls your MOU.
