I am an Arkansas Cherokee living in Texas. Your guide to center seam moccasins is a good one! Living in the Hill Country of Texas, I like to pattern my moccasins after the Apache high top moccasin with rawhide soul to protect from cactus spines. Great video! Keep up the good work!

They have some of the best mocs I've seen...

I have just tried. I was working on it whole afternoon. Seriously. But only your "How To" video gave me a propper information how to do it (about 7 PM) . I made only a sample from a piece of old jeans, but I will soon try leather. Thanks a lot!!!

[@jennysanderson8573]

I just made a pair and then found your video. It's good to see your approach. Your curve on the back of the moc seems like a good idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@devinfarris3018]

this is the best video yet because i have been looking how to make shoes like this

[@yiquanawalkb4run26]

Thank you, I really appreciate this easy lesson certainly a great place to begin the art of shoe making...I hope to set to the task around the table with the grandchildren...all the best from Nottingham where I'm sure Robin Hood and his merry men would've appreciated them! ...thank you.

Beautiful craftmanship. Blessings to you and yours !

[@Bayan1905]

Very nice, I have been wanting to make myself a pair of these for some time and I need a winter project or several, now that I have seen a way to do these its time to give this a try, thanks for the video.

[@jellyfish_adventures9877]

Thanks! I like practical, inexpensive, and hand-made.

[@nofindausername]

I made some of these using fleece first and then deerskin. What I have learned from this is it is important to pay attention to how your leather is tanned. My deerskin was too stiff and made for a very uncomfortable center seam when wearing them. I will be doing this again next week but I will be using elk or brain tan and I will use a base ball stitch. The deerskin used for this video looks nice and soft and flexible.

I like your pattern. Thanks for the explanation on how to easily adjust the pattern to get a "taller" boot...higher around the ankles. I'm thinking about putting grommets in the front edge of mine for tying off. Probably not authentic, but, it'll allow me to tighten up the fit, which as you mentioned, can be rather key to the final product. Thanks for the great video.

[@upbags2]

[@jimparmer1]

Thanks Mike for this video! I'm going to try to make me a pair!!

[@halfwayuphill]

I like it - who needs those chinese shoemakers anyway.

[@Landotter1]

Very cool video. With a few refinements and some beadwork, those would be some fine shoes!!! Thanks for the vid.

[@westvirginiasurvival]

Thanks Mike. Very cool moccasins. I hope to try this for myself one day. How long do you think they would last if you wore them in the woods? Thanks again.

[@odelloutdoors3424]

Great video. Thank you

@@odelloutdoors3424 thanks

[@06eyM3]

Your feet are petite and pretty. Im a girl, not a dude, dont be offended! Loved this vid, thanks!

[@andrewramirez9428]

very nice im already ,making the moccasins

[@spence0324]

You could always use the felt as a liner in your hide moccasins.

[@michaelgarafalo2924]

So, would you do a video explaining your process on tanning with leaves?
Also, for a stiffer and more durable bottom, could you use a layer of cow rawhide?

[@michaelgarafalo2924]

Yeah, my feet are tender and I would need much more protection.
Also, as far as walking in the winter with slush and mud, how do they perform?
Still dry and warm?
Are there anything you would need to do for winter wear?

[@randycurtis1176]

Thank you. I think I can do it.

[@stevemills7196]

How would it work with fur-on buckskin you think? I have a pelt here and warm fur lining sounds comfy .

[@sirjackjackal1042]

What thickness leather should I use

[@alexandrahenderson4368]

Not the most traditional way to make them but I don’t have time to make real Mocs for the powwow. Miigwech for the video

[@ObsessedGamerYT]

I want to say that I have been thinking about making some, moccasins, but when you look at the store made ones, it can be disheartening. Your video, gives me hope. These I can do.

[@survivewithout]

very neat

[@BushcraftingDror]

Great video thanks

[@Lawiah0]

Take your Hot-Glue-Gun and add drops to the Bottoms Of your Toasty Feet Moccasins; for non-skid. >:)
