      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'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.

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.

      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.

    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'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.

    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.

    I was wondering about pine tar and sand for traction but rubber has made a debut for the moccasin.

      I guess I could gouge rubber off that old tire that my neighbor rolled into the creek.

    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.
