I’m trying to find a maker of handmade WIDE real sheepskin moccasins, preferably with outdoor soles. Anyone come across such a person or local business? No Chinese made!

uh…DIY?

I’ve done 4 or 5 pair,different styles/ types,using bison hide. u can add liners,soles & all sorts of decoration. haven’t tried “cactus kickers” though. got a VERY good book - can hunt up author,etc
&
recently read that minnetonka has done an “oooops,seems we did some appropriation…” . might be worth exploring?

Worth considering @newpawn . Didn’t even give it a thought. I did some leatherwork back in the day. I would like the name of the book. If I can’t find some already made I might have to make them (as with other things). In the meantime I guess I’ll start hunting up materials. Thanks for the idea.
