I just wanted to show you guys my cool new made to measure moccasins.These moccasins where made by full time artisan and friend of mine Jann French.Jann first learn the art of making moccasins in the traditional native American style.But she has gone to develop her own totally unique style.She works totally with traditional hand tool and use mostly deer hide for her moccasins..

Cool T^

I wear thin soled leather shoes almost like this when re-enacting late 15c. Once you get used to shoes like this, they are extremely comfortable, silent and gives you a unique contact with the surface your walk on.
