I find you could walk all day in crepe shoes and experience no fatigue in the feet at all. If there was ever a need to sneak up on someone, crepe could get it done. It is eerie how quiet and stealthy they are.
Probably the most seen crepe sole is on Clark's Desert Boot, Wallabee or their Desert trek. It has always been a staple Clark's. This year I notice that L.L. Bean came out with a Crepe soled boot. It is quiet beautiful and would make a excellent Camp boot. I know a lot of Moccasins already have a crepe sole for durability, and would probably be great , I just think that the L.L. Bean boot woudl have a bit more support. If you haven't tried a day walking on crepe I suggest you do. The initial swishy-ness of the sole with feel bizarre, but you will soon see that the are really excellent walking platforms!
Clark's have been using Crepe Sole like the ones on these Desert treks for 60 years.
L.L Bean's Crepe sole Moc Boot. Looks great!

P.S. A piece of crepe rubber is great for cleaning rubber cement off paper, and cleaning your grinding wheel!
