My thoughts are to try it and see how it works for you. There are at least a couple threads in the Leather forum regarding hardsole mocs that you would
probably benefit from reading. Good luck!

Heres my mocc's I made by following Coogs's tut. I modified it a touch by just making a low ankle style vs the knee highs.

Thanks coogs!!! | ||

I have been searching for a long time for instructions on how to make your own moccasins on the internet, and this is the ONLY one I have found that was
actually clear enough for me to understand and in which I was able to follow the directions without a snag. Instead of using old cloth, I chose to use scrap
leather to make my 5 year old son a pair of mocs for practice. Here are a few pics of the finished project!!

Those look great! Good job! I'm really glad you found the tutorial helpful and that you shared the results of your hard work.

My first pair | ||

Here's my first pair of mocs, thanks to the tutorial! These are for my friend, so they don't exactly fit my foot in the one pic.
Commercial deer skin with glass seed beads. I also added an extra layer of leather on the bottom as a sole. Thanks Coogs!

Just wanted to say thanks much coogs for the tutorial.
I made this pair of brain tanned buffalo hide mocs for a guy I know from another forum where we are doing a christmas present trade. Hope he likes 'em.

Yeah, when's that custom-made moccasin company going on line, n2? Can you do anything for a women's size 10.5? I never can find regular shoes...
but, really, those are beautiful! |

coogs, thanks for the tutorial. Worked very well and are very comfortable. Soles are from old mountain bike tires, caused some problems, but in the end
worked well.

I gotta know how you glued the mtn bike tires on the mocs price. Do they seem to be holding up?
thanks. N2 |

I used shoe goo. I sanded the inside of the tire, which exposed the threads (light hand sanding did it), allowing the glue to soak into the threads and grab.
I don't know how well they will hold up, I have just finished them, and need to wear them for a while to get a good feel for that.

Very good tutorial, I still prefere a brain tanned sole made from the neck portion of Elk or Buffalo it really holds up because it's thick..

Fantastic work, all of you! May the forest be with you. |
