mocassin tread

(1/4) > >>

Stringman:
I got a pair of moc's that I've been wearin for a while (on and off for 10 years.) Wore out the soles once and had to repair them, so they got great soles on 'em now. Problem is, the new soles are slicker than snot! Has anyone tried applying something to the bottom to give more traction?!? Like maybe pitch and sand or something like that?

Pat B:
Wade(n2everything) used something on the bottoms of the brain tanned mocs he made. I think it was truck bed liner spray or something like that.

Lee Slikkers:
I've used "Sportsman's Goop" on mine, worked real nice.  You can smear a thin layer on the soles (used cold water on your fingers first and as you continue to smear it and it won't stick to your fingers much and makes applying it much easier or I suppose you could use some type of plastic putty knife or something.

JW_Halverson:
Wrap a very long thong around the ball of your foot on the moccasins.  Tie it off with a knot you can undo...kinda like puttin' chains on!  I do that with my moccs in snow and ice.  Also have done it in dry weather when on slippery sidehills littered with pine straw.

Marc St Louis:
I wore soft soled mocs both to grade school and to high school when I was young, I'm sure I was looked on as a savage.  I didn't care, I loved them and wore them most everywhere I went.  Wet weather was a pain and snow was also a pain, you just learn to walk gingerly in the snow after awhile.

Good idea JW
