Very nice. I am new here and running through old posts and came across this. Mike G's vid is great stuff. I wrote an article awhile back on winter footwear (historically in the Great Lakes) for On The Trail Magazine. Here is a copy of the article for those interested... http://frenchinwisconsin.yolasite.com/resources/articlefootwear.pdf
I also did a how to on centerseams sewn with thong instead of thread/sinew here... http://frenchinwisconsin.yolasite.com/my-blog/makazinan-moccasins

Small world Isaac. I am friends with D. Dykema. We first met you and One Moc in Tnn., then on Howard's Creek with Gerry Barker. You did the best Native Indian. I gave you a blue/white wampum bracelet. Very cool seeing you here.
Read Issac's articles, he does a great job and is very knowledgeable about the Native American ways.

Here's a pair of fair weather type that i made last year from some brain tan deer that I did last year also, haven't wore these alot but feel pretty thin. Need to tuffin up my feet ;D ;D Bob

those are all nice shoes, also alot af native people went barefoot in summer months and shoes were ment to keep out frostbite,snakebite, ect. there feet were as hard as rock. i have a hawian freind that never wore shoes as a child and could walk through landfills(his words) without a scratch. i have a pair made in canada that i can go just about anywhere in and the are real comfy :) crepe sole . keep on makin'em.
