TURNAROUND TIME is approx. 2-4 MONTHS for all of our MOCCASINS & BOOTS. If you need them sooner, please message us about our current estimated production time as well as the possibility of a rush order.
Functional Fashion. Our products are hand-made by a small team of dedicated leather artisans in Eugene, Oregon, USA. Everything is hand-built with longevity in mind, taking care to make useful, durable, and beautiful products that last.
Our Vibram and leather moccasin soles can be replaced for $50-$75. Like any shoe, the amount of wear and the terrain you're walking on determines the life of your sole. Be kind to your moccasins and they will be kind to you.
If you need your item by a certain date, please inquire about the current turnaround time before purchasing and we will do our best to accommodate your request. We also offer a limited number of rush orders at a time for an additional $50.

5 out of 5 starsExceptional customer service; beautiful mocasins! Went way out of their way to rush my order. I ordered first pair elsewhere 3 months ahead of my husband's birthday. One week before his birthday I found out they will not be done and was sent a refund. Found this shop; they were willing to rush them for me. The mocasins arrived the day before the birthday and were amazing! I highly recommend TreadLightGear.

5 out of 5 starsOh, really. They are beautiful. I like them very much. I find them exceptional. They are probably among the most original, rare and intriguing of all the ones I have had Clarks including. They have next to their Native American side an oriental side and I chose them for that too. Thank you very much for this exceptional opportunity. I recommend. Satisfaction guaranteed. 5 stars. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsCustomer service was really great, they got back to me quickly and answered all my questions. The initial fit was small, as I expected, but I followed the recommended instructions included for stretching the leather and it only took a few days of working them in to fit perfectly. I’m super happy with them, they’re very comfortable and I wear them every chance I get!

About TreadLightGear
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!
