Moccasins

[NickW]

So I think I have decided I am going to attempt to make a type of moccasin for my running. I am tired of not being able to find footwear that fits right or the strap hurts in someway. After scouring the internet looking at all different types of moccasins and sandals I think I have found a general design that I will tweak just a bit for myself so they will work better for me for running. I have found soling material that I could add for pretty cheap that will make the soles last longer. Also, big thanks to Sid for one of his old posts that you could make the mocs first from felt so that you can then disassemble them and use it as a pattern. Boy am I getting weird...

I don't think you are getting weird at all Nick.
I went the same way, made my own shoes (huaraches in my case).
Good luck and keep us posted with the progress

Will do Dan.

Sorry about not updating my thread. It seems that as my feet have become stronger, I've been able to tolerate the mass-produced Vivobarefoot shoes by going up another size.

Good luck with your project!
