The irony of what I’m doing just hit me. Using the most advanced technologies to watch videos to learn to be a hunter gatherer. This is like the Jetsons studying to become a Flintstone. Thank you for the tutorials! Love it!
Jetson universe is held up by tech that could collapse and then everyone's back to the Flintstones. Knowing the basics of the real world is always wise.
Yes indeed. Someone’s got to keep the old ways alive so that when nature, or the ever present and always nefarious “they”, pull the rug out from under us we’re not doomed to death or serfdom.
Well, when all the tech is gone ( coming soon to a neighborhood near you). If you can find and kill a 900lbs elk, you can make some shoes, chaps, and a jacket with matching hat.
I’ve looked for moccasins online before, and was always shocked by the price. Well, now I know. If I were to attempt this, Webster’s would have to add a bunch of new cuss words to the dictionary. Good job, Clay. Cool video.
I changed my mind, shoes (in the stores) are very cheap! Impressive the amount of work is used in order to do a simple pair of shoes!! Congratulations and thank you to show those techniques.
Yes they are that's what I've seen a lot of starting pair at. Id say that's about average price. Then also depends on what kind of leather and if they have fur and what kind of fur. That's a good price considering they can last for decades and can be repaired. @@allenjones2450
I just made a few pairs of these earlier this spring for my wife, daughter, and myself. The first two stiched by hand…and the last on my leather sewing machine😉. Awesome job on yours. Turning these babies is no joke😂.
I'm an Aussie and I watched the bark tanning video and after 43 years it got me interested in getting back into doing some tanning but using the bark method, but it would be roo skins using wattle/acacia bark, and to make the viking style shoes I would potentialy need to use double thickness as roo skin is pretty thin. Gotta say both vides are flamin awesome mate.
sometimes I'm jealous you guys can just get roo skins from the side of the road... I have to pay a pretty penny to get the stuff in the USA... I build motorcycle gloves with the stuff, nothing in the world beats roo skin on impact resistance and most importantly abrasive resistance. wish it was cheaper for me, making jackets of the stuff would be my dream.
If you’re watching this and thinking of making deer turn shoes, keep in mind deer hides stretch as you wear them. source: I am a bark tanner and made the exact same style of shoes. Better hides for shoes: cow, buffalo, goat, yak, and elk.
Dear sir, I understand these are primitive technologies, but given the geological makeup of my area, it is incredibly jagged rock. I'm afraid the protections offered my these primitive moccassins would not be up to the task and so I humbly ask if there is some sort of upgrade wherein a moccassin can be processed to have wooden and or padded soles? Whilst I understand the unlikelyhood that I need make any of these as would not suit my environment, I am still interested in leathercrafts nevertheless. May I ask your opinion where I may look into next? Thank you kindly.
This is reminding me of the book "The Farmer Boy." Which I read as a child. I remember them describing him having his first shoes made by a cobbler. Very awesome.
That was enjoyable. I just started hunting and my guide buddy recommended I find some soft-sole slippers for stalking. I bought some leather moccasins (I do some leather work making sheaths for my knives but never considered making my own) and I could not believe how much quieter the were in the forest and on logging roads compared to my boots. I'd far rather change into these than ruin another pair of socks stalking an animal!
I watched a video of a boot maker in Japan, make a pair of boots from wild boar hide. What fascinate me, was how many specialized cutting tools he used to make different cuts in the different pieces, was engrossing to watch.
Hahaha, maybe it’s the algorithm but just yesterday I was watching a a young man crafting a neat pair of boots and that’s what brought me to this guy so you probably talking about the same one. Boycut, dressed in white, no talking whatsoever
Me and my wife bought a few leather working kits for Christmas gifts. Makes me appreciate the unbelievable amount of time and attention to detail this project must have taken.
I'm sure others have said it in the comments, but turn shoes are easier to turn if you soak the leather first in water. I can't speak for hunting in the mountains, but after 12 years of reenactment fighting in turn shoes with leather bare soles, I've only slipped half a dozen times at most, I found that walking on the balls of your feet and stepping toe first vs heel first makes it easier to maintain your footing, that and a little bit of beeswax on rubbed on the soles daily gives enough grip for my needs.
Looks amazing. My personal preference would be a little more toe room ... As i normally am barefoot .. but protection like this for hunting would be ideal . Excellent job . I took notes and watched twice . Thank you so much for this great skill share and info .
From free elk skin and $2 worth of rubber bits and cement.... Clay just made a $500 pair of shoes. Beyond belief. A true testament to the value of combining skill with man hours.
Not to rain on your parade, but your average skilled tradesman earns $500/day easy. I’m betting this guy spent much more time than that on these beautiful moccasins . Awesome, work, but not cost effective in the slightest
He made a crude pair of hard leather loafers that lose rubber bits everywhere he goes. And this is "beyond belief"... You gotta believe in yourself more :P
Your time on Alone was awesome. Your skills are amazing! Your the reason i pulled the trigger on getting a Leatherman Arc. Have taught me how to make a fishing rod and reel in the bush, snaring and more. I look forward to all your videos. I've been doing bushcraft/survival stuff for years, but have learned so much from watching your videos and the show. Thanks for what you do.
Is there anything you can't do? I'm constantly amazed at your skills and impeccable precision. Thank you for sharing your passion. What a blessing it is to watch you.
He sees things through to the end. It's not that he's a godly fount of knowledge. It's that his determination to learn, understand and do are truly undaunted.
I just tanned my first deer hide and was thinking some moccasins would be amazing for stalking. Because I wear my tennis shoe hunting already. Thanks for this video 👍🏼
That is really cool. I would suggest to make a "toe box" in order to leave room for the fingers spreading out doing their thing, and making the shoe anchor point on the ankle, not on the toes, ideally they would not touch the shoe tips. Thank for that Clay, it is really awesome l!
my favorite foot wear all the time and muklus were my daughters first shoes , loved them and to this day she hates wearing shoes , I have got plain moccasins for 15,00 plain anes as they say , very comfy,
dude those shoes are sick! love the quiet times while you document the process. didn’t realize how much work it takes to make shoes. keep it up dawg. love your videos
Your magic hands! Lovely workmanship, and camera, as always. Really exciting project, more so after seeing you tanning the hide. Very interesting process with the duct tape mold. Love the tools too, the awls and that brutally sharp knife!
Love my elk hide mocks! Cant put a nail through them with my bare hands. Great leather. Having leather like you made would be the only thing I'd want for. Beautiful design! Thanks!
When i got my first job and paycheck i purchased a pair of moccasins and my first issue of Mother Earth News magazine. I wrote those until the bottoms were full of holes. And I kept them for many years after. List somewhere along the line in one of my many moves, I still think of them.
Very informative video on bark tanning and shoe making, appreciate u sharing your many talents with us Mr Hayes. I could watch these kind of videos all day.
Thank you for your videos.I am trying to learn as much as I can.I'm going to be 55 on September 1st.And I have some knowledge and I could live in the woods if I need be but I sure Do need to learn your skills that I do not have again.Thank you for sharing your knowledge and GOD BLESS 💯🙏😎🇺🇸
I'm with you on the slick bottomed part. My Dyers, while awesome in south Texas hunting pigs was lethal in Montana on an elk hunt. Ended up on my ass a couple of times.
Those should work well for sneaking up on game! Adding traction was a good idea especially for wet grass or muddy slopes. I was just doing my own leather work yesterday making a knife sheath. It's a very enjoyable pastime.
I hope we do see a follow up! I'd love to feel how a pair of these wear after really conforming to the feet. But I'd also like hearing feedback on how this method of sole feels and holds up. By looks they seem extremely comfortable, and at least if the sole does wear or separate it's easily repaired.
I’ve made these shoes too! Turnovers! I modified it a bit and went ver the ankle and added two more toggle buckles. I also used a thick veg tan for the soles (slippery yes I know but oh so much more comfortable)
love this! I saw your little pack of leather working stuff.. I really like the idea of having something like that. I'd love a list of tools and items you have in there.
Save a bit of cow hide for the sole, will last much longer for mocc sole. No need to remove the hair. It'll eventually wear with use with hair side out. Leave hide in wet towel or equivalent. Makes stitching easier for the sole especially with thick leather. Great video!
Beautiful construction! I was a bit sad that the rubber isn't natural and it's crumb, so it's going to split into microplastic pieces upon excessive wear...
Great video Clay. As I was watching the beginning the conversation played out in my head. Me: "Honey I saw fantastic video from this guy Clay on how to make leather shoes. I want to try it out." Wife: "that sounds great." Me: "I need duck tape, scissors and those socks your mother gave me." Wife: "You won't ruin the socks right? .... Right?" Thanks for another great DIY video.
Super and made it dahm clear it seems to look at video it is gradually most clear some and most satisfying video and looking it on this best gradually all the best for your upcoming videos
There's a few companies that do this. Sodhoppers is one. You make a cast the same way and mail it to him in Oregon. Later on you can either buy or make your own tire shavings and reapply it where needed. I tried it once on an old pair of moccasins and was not able to have any luck with it. It fell off after a day. I wondered if I needed to sand down the grain of the leather to get a better adhesive. Just be careful with some of those adhesives. Best to do it outside to avoid the fumes. Also whenever using glue be careful used waxed based conditioners (Obenaufs) near the glue as it can delaminate it.
Cool work there Clay in 2 months you can put them to work sneaking up on a bull 👍 I hope you did that while Liz was gone on her hike and got it cleaned up before she got back 😆 good luck hunting this year 👍✌🏻🇺🇸
Id love to make a pair of these with birkenstock style cork midsoles and wedge style tread below it. I also have cork soles from my foot doctor i want to graft into them. I might try a moc toe variation as well so i can wear thicker socks in winter.
