mocassin tread
agd68:
I believe it was Paleoplanet I read where a fellow used barge cement and small pieces of car tire to sole his moccs
Marc St Louis:
I have to admit that I don't care for the rubber soled mocs. My dad wore them all the time in the Winter and I know it makes them more user friendly but quite frankly I always thought that if you want a rubber sole then just wear modern footwear. Probably why I like JW's idea
JW_Halverson:
Historical trekkers and serious Rendezvous participants look very poorly on rubber soled mocs. Kinda like we do at a nice stave bow with effing-glass on it. It sorta spoils the effect you are shooting for.
Stringman:
Thanks guys! These were the kind of ideas I was looking for. Frankly, I'm leaning toward the leather thong for the same reasons.
jamie:
use the flesh side, not the hair side, for the outer part and you'll get a better grip. i like a heavy leather for the soles similar to what old fashioned shoes were made of
