About Hand-Laced Moccasins

Listen quietly and you may hear the beating of drums or the soul-searching song of a Native American. Today, some moccasins are so authentic that you might feel swept off to another time, when moccasins were a necessary part of Native American lifestyle. This era's hand laced moccasins provide an even more perfect fit, giving your feet the respect they deserve.

For centuries, moccasins were a necessary part of the Native American life and culture. Moccasins were perfect for protecting Native American feet from rugged terrain or dastardly weather. Each Native American tribe made moccasins that were tailored to their specific habitat. One could even tell the tribal origin of a footprint left by a moccasin.

The word moccasin, which has language origins with Eastern North American tribes, traditionally referred to a shoe with a puckered u-shaped 'vamp' over the instep. Today the word moccasin generally refers to all types of hard and soft-soled shoes, with and without puckered toes. Much like moccasins today, many were decorated with beautiful embroidery or beadwork, some were hand laced, while others were left plain. A beautiful tradition, moccasins are some of the most proudly, and oldest worn shoes in the world.

Today's hand-laced moccasins take into consideration this great Native American tradition and culture, while adding a small touch of 21st Century style. Durable, versatile, fashionable, and ever-so-comfortable, hand laced moccasins will be the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Go ahead- give you feet a break. We know you want to.
