Moccasins for Women, Leather, Handmade, Zero Drop, Triple soled, Tobacco Brown Color

Designed for both durability and comfort, our hand-sewn moccasins are made of flexible, long-wearing bullhide. We make them with a unique triple-layer sole, which allows you to walk softly but not feel all the rocks. In time, if you ever do wear out the bottom sole, we can replace it for a small fee. Our bullhide moccasins are available in the colors of tobacco brown or natural cream. They are perfect to wear around the house, at work, in the garden, on a hike, or for reenactments, and are personally recommended by author and bow hunter, Fred Asbell, in his book – "Stalking and Still Hunting: Ground Hunter’s Bible."

VERSATILE AND DURABLE: Our moccasins can be worn indoors and outdoors. We construct the triple-layer sole using materials and techniques that make them water-resistant to wet ground (not waterproof when wading in puddles). For even more cushion, feel free to slip in a pair of insoles of your choice.

ZERO-DROP: Our moccasins are "zero-drop" shoes, meaning the heel has no added height. Your foot will be naturally level from heel to toe, as if you were barefoot or wearing a slipper. They also have no artificial arch support, but of course, if you are required or prefer to wear a set of orthotics, you can slide them into your pair of our moccasins just like any other insole.

SIZING: Our sizing is unique - because the high-quality bullhide leather we use will conform to the shape of your foot, we make our moccasins in several standard sizes which fit most of the following women’s US shoe sizes:

Small - insole is 9 5/8” long, and fits most women’s shoe sizes 6 ½ - 7 ½
Small Plus - insole is 10” long, and fits most women’s shoe sizes 8 - 9
Medium - insole is 10 ½” long, and fits most women’s shoe sizes 9 ½ - 10 ½
Medium Plus - insole is 11” long, and fits most women’s shoe sizes 11 – 12

Keep in mind the following questions when deciding what size you should order:
1. Do you prefer to start with a snug moccasin that stretches to fit, or a moccasin that fits more loosely?
2. Do you plan to wear socks or go barefoot in our moccasins?
3. Do you plan to use insoles or arch supports, etc.?
4. Are your feet extra narrow, extra wide, or extra unusual that would make it better if you ordered a custom pair?

CUSTOM OPTIONS: NOT available in children's sizes. If your feet are of a unique shape or size, send us a tracing of your foot while standing on a piece of paper, and we'll be happy to custom make a pair to your specifications. See the "Custom Moccasin Order" option in our Etsy store.

FITTING AT HOME: Your hand-made moccasins are made of high-quality bullhide and may feel stiff or too snug at first. If this is the case, we recommend wetting them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water (1 part alcohol to 2 parts water), putting the moccasins on your feet, then running around the house awhile (really!). Repeat wetting procedure as necessary. The moccasins will quickly shape to your own individual size.

CARE: People often ask how to care for our moccasins. No special treatment is necessary! We have pairs we've worn for over 20 years, and all we've had to do is occasionally replace the sole if needed. If they get muddy, simply rinse them lightly under the bathtub faucet and let air dry completely. Any temporary stiffness will quickly disappear after just a few minutes of wear time.

COLORS NOTE: Please note that leather dye lots, computer screen color depictions, and color of sinew used to hand-sew the moccasins may vary.

And finally,
GROUNDING/EARTHING: Can our moccasins be worn for Earthing/Grounding? Good question…
We have tried ground-testing our moccasins with various layers of leather, various colors, various glues, and of various ages (brand new moccasins vs. ones we've personally worn for years). In the end, we've found some of our moccasins ground, some do not. We are baffled and have not yet found a solid repeatable reason to make them consistently ground.

HOWEVER, a nice woman purchased a pair and tested them and was thrilled to find her pair grounded. Here's her YouTube link showing her results: youtu.be/LsSrEk0aT1M

We suggest you order a pair because they are SO comfortable, zero-drop, and let your toes spread, and test them for grounding yourself and let us know what happens.
