High Top Moccassins

Recommended Posts

After my Hard Drive crash and buying a new one, I was able to recover some of the things I had lost on the old drive. I had forgotten all about these pics of a pair of High Top Moccassins I made a while back. Just thought I'd show them and see what everyone thought.

The sole is made of natural rubber crepe, and is hand sewn onto the moccassin with sinew using an auto awl. The rest of the moccassin is hand laced as usual. These are the only things I make that would have any sort of sewing on them.

Nice boots,

Had a pair similar to those decades ago. Those were my smugglers but that's a whole different off topic thread and I don't much resemble that guy anymore.

How many square feet and what weight split/suede did you use.

Thanks for the compliments.

Mike they are made with about 2 1/2 sq. ft. of Moccasin split cowhide each. The weight is 3 oz. and the lace is made from the same splithide.

I used the pattern from Tandy for these and just modified it a bit to accommodate the lace instead of sewing.
