Vanguard Moccasin | Men's Leather Moccasins | Handmade Leather Footwear | Genuine Cowhide Boot | Premium Leather Shoes for Men | SCA Boots

Our Vanguard moccasin utilizes a fabulous, rich leather that is rugged and durable, with a comfortable fit right out of the box. The leather is unfinished, allowing for a patina to develop over time and giving the moccasins more character, especially with Falcon Brown. Applying Mink Oil also darkens the leather a bit, and gives an old-fashioned pull-up look that is incredible, as well as providing weather protection and conditioning the leather. It is a wonderful outdoorsman moccasin with a soft-tempered yet substantial leather upper and our rugged yet supple bullhide leather soles. The soles provide the perfect amount of protection from stick and stones, while still offering an incredible feel with the earth. Every pair of our moccasins come shipped in our branded canvas bag and tied with suede lace.

* Built for a comfortable fit, like being barefoot. Our moccasins are not intended to fight snug nor loose
* Crafted from a supple yet heavy-bodied cowhide leather for the uppers that may require a short break-in period
* Strong bullhide leather for the soles provide tactile feel of the earth while offering protection
* Premium leather lace for closing around ankle
* Available in US Men's whole and half sizes. For custom sizes, read below or our FAQs

Each pair of moccasins is handmade, one at a time, in our home workshop. Our standard sizes require up to 10 business days, and custom sizes require up to 14 business days to complete. Shipping domestically is by the USPS and can take 1-3 days after our processing times. We strive to make or beat our times, however sometimes things happen beyond our control. We will do our best to update you on any delays through Etsy's messaging service. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

PLEASE NOTE:
*Due to the nature of leather, moccasins are intended for natural outdoor environments. Surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, etc. may cause premature wear.
*Our leather soles may become smooth with wear and may become slippery when wet or on smooth surfaces. Please exercise extreme caution in these situations.
* Our leather may feature scars, brand marks, insect bites and other imperfections. We believe these marks add beauty and character to our products. We will not use pieces where the structural integrity is questionable.

CUSTOM MOCCASIN INFORMATION:
We are happy to create a pair of moccasins created just for you! We need additional information, and we cannot proceed without all the necessary measurements. Custom moccasins are NONREFUNDABLE, however we will work with you to get a perfect fit. For the necessary information, please follow the steps below.

1. Stand on a piece of paper. Using a pencil, trace around each foot. Keep the pencil tight to the foot without going under (especially in the heel area).

2. Measure length of the foot from the heel to the longest toe. Measure the width of the foot at the ball, just below the toes, at the widest part of the foot. Write these numbers down on the corresponding tracing. We prefer centimeters as it is far more accurate.

3. Measure the instep of each foot. Now this measurement can be tricky, but we do not want a circumference (all the way around). We need only a rainbow over the top of the foot. Contact us if you need clarification. Use a soft tape measure or a string and ruler. Start at the floor on the outside of the foot, just in front of the ankle. Take the tape over the tallest part of the foot and back to the floor just in front of the ankle on the inside of the foot. The tape should be snug but not tight. Write this measurement down for each corresponding tracing.

4. These tracings with all measurements will need to be sent to us. Please contact us for information on mailing tracings.
