I like the camo pattern. I tought that when you have a really thin sole like mocassins that you would feel whats under your feet if you put Them down slowly and that you can move then when there happens to be a branch or something because of there werent Anny advantages about a leather sole i think the natives would use a wooden sole so their shoes would last longer like our leather clogs (if you type "leren klompen" in google immages you get what i mean
WhistlingBadger:
In the desert, I wear running shoes. In the mountains, I like a lightweight, waterproof hiker. Last year I used Xero Xcursions, and I loved them...but there seem to be some durability issues, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Ricardovanleeuwen:
I have some feet that have a hard time getting a good fit for a budget but i always had the itch to make my own pair bit soo many projects to do haha. How would natives do It because i think their sole last shorter then the rest of the shoe, would they make a shoe and pad the sole with An extra layer of leather and when the first layer worns out replace It?

What the more northern tribes did (wich ive read several good books about by Helge ingsted you should check them out) was repaired them until they had to make a new pair, wich they did several times a year I believe..
