Dwight Report post Posted November 15 I am sure I could personally conjure up a pair of moccasins that I could wear. I need more than that. With my neuropathy in my feet . . . any shoe I have ever worn . . . begins to hurt my feet after 4 or 5 hours . . . they HAVE TO come off. I want to make a pair of mocassins that will stand maybe "short" cowboy boot height . . . maybe 4 inches above my ankle If you have such an animal . . . I'd love to see it. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May God bless, Dwight Tandy has a nice moccasin pattern pack with 3 type of different moccasins types. You might look into it.

SUP Report post Posted November 15 (edited) DO you mean something like this but a little shorter? The foot part in these are a little impractical though. Diesel punk has some shoes that rise above the ankles. Those are not moccasins though. His directions are excellent as well. His moccasins are great too - I wear mine all the time. So maybe you could try making them, only taller. I fact, I have heard that he is very helpful. He might guide you on how to make them taller.

AEBL Report post Posted November 21 For "authentic" patterns I found this book: "Craft Manual of North American Indian Footwear" by George M White. It is a bit hard to find. https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/craft-manual-of-north-american-indian-footwear/author/george-m-white/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
