If so, would it be possible to share it, maybe in pdf? thanks in advance!!! cheers, Gunter Gunter, I have the Earth Boot pattern set. It was purchased in the summer of 1972 for a dollar. It is in hard copy form and size five has been cut out for use, but the parts are still there, and can be put back in place on the pattern page. Unfortunately, I don't have a PDF. I will contact a friend who might be able to scan it. I will try to get a copy made. Are you wanting a particular size, or the whole set? Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDRamsey Report post Posted December 31, 2009 What is an Earth Boot? do you have a picture we could see? Thank you. From step 10 of the pattern pack, one can see an image of it - I'm attempting to attach the PDF of that page. I would attach the cover page but it scanned in as 2 meg. The earthboot is a type of moccasin that looks like what used to be called a "chucca" boot.

SunshineNative Report post Posted January 1, 2010 Jim, Thank you! I have made other styles of moccasins for personal use and for others and that is a great pattern! I love the buckle feature. My next question is are you going to stiffen the sole of the shoe on the outside or inside and what type of material are you using ? I mean, are you using a suede, or is it veg-tan and what ounce/size have you made this with? I can see these being made with a nice 7-8 oz and used as daily wear. ALL of the moccasins I have made to date are worn as "house slippers" and I don't know how to make a solid or hard sole! Thank you for your patience!

Di Hi, All the moccasins I've made in the past, were for use in the field as a re-enactor, so for the durability and strenght of the moccasinsole I've putt a double 2mm thick leather ( 2 pieces of 2mm thick on each other) sewn on the sole of the moccasin. ANd I must say, it works, they keep on going for about 7 years now, without reparing them. Just a tip, if you can't putt a hard leather sole beneat the moc, use cowhide with the hair on the outside, smooth walk, durable last. Cheers, Gunter P.S. The pic included isn't from a moc, but from a Irish Brogue I made for firend of mine, with the same soletype ;-). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
