About TreadLightGear

On Etsy since 2009

Simple. Light. Durable. Eco-Positive.

Isn't everyone tired of wearing disposable, uncomfortable, low quality, imported footwear ? So was Manna. That's why in 2000, she started stitching away, creating her own line of footwear made right here in the United States. The bull hide used to create Tread Light moccasins are sourced from Colorado and Wyoming where the state law dating back to the 1800's is "range free", meaning if you Don't want livestock on your land, you put up a fence! The tannery we work with is family owned, and located in Wisconsin. Tread Light moccasins are both Funky and classic! So comfortable, our customers say they are like a hug on your foot!
