Moccasins

Womens moccasins and mens moccasins are very stylish and fashionable at the moment and have the added bonus of being ultra comfortable for the wearer. You can find moccasins in many different styles, including beaded, knee-high, loafers, golf shoes, heeled and of cours moccasin slippers.

Are moccasins environmentally friendly?

I would say yes because they are made from animal by products from meat. The hides or skins are sustainable and bio degradable so that won’t be a problem for future generations. I know that a lot of people don’t think that it’s right to kill animals for food and clothing but that has been happening for millions of years on this planet.

Moccasins have been known to have been made from tanned eel skins by the really inventive but usually they are made from the following materials:

Sheepskin

Traditional sheepskin moccasins made with a wool lining and a pliable soft fabric are the height of comfort yet with outdoor soles they are durable and lasting. With natural properties the sheepskins breathe and your feet will feel either warm or cool depending upon your body temperature.

Leather

Leather moccasins are usually made from cowhide, but soft and comfortable deerskins and moose hides can also be used. Leather is the most durable material for shoes and they grow in comfort as you wear them. Leather gets softer and stretches; seeming reshape themselves around your feet, making for a more natural fit.

Leather should be cleaned and treated to prevent cracking with a leather conditioner.

Suede

Suede moccasins are usually cheaper than leather because the suede comes from the leather hide’s less valuable interior split. Suede is soft and OK for outside when the weather is fine but not suitable for wet and damp weather – not for outside in England then! Always use a suede cleaning kit for suede shoes and moccasins.

So there you have it, a choice of comfortable materials for your high fashion moccasins – the most comfortable shoes that you will ever own. Always look after your moccasins and you will have a pair of indoor or out door shoes that are not only comfortable and fashionable but good for knees and hips too, research says Red Indians had less problems with osteoarthritis because they wore moccasins.
