Moccasins : The Style Of 400 years

It's been 400 years since they have invented it has given Iconic looks whoever wore them .They can be used on any occasion with right pair of Jeans ,Trousers . It suits on Formals or Casuals. So i have given some history of moccasins and where you can buy your pair of mocca's.  


A Moccasin is a form of shoe worn by Native Americans, as well as by hunters, traders, and settlers in the frontier regions of North America & plain Indians




All American Indian moccasins were originally made of soft leather usually deerskin  stitched together with sinew. Though the basic construction of Native American moccasins was similar throughout North America, moccasin patterns were subtly different in nearly every tribe, and Indian people could often tell each other's tribal affiliation simply from the design of their shoes. Tribal differences included not only the cut of the moccasins but also the extensive beadwork , quillwork and painted designs many Indian people lavished on their shoes. In some tribes hardened rawhide was used for the sole for added durability, and in others rabbit fur  was used to line the leather moccasins for added warmth. Both men and women wore moccasins, although in many tribes the decoration of male and female moccasins used a different pattern. Plains Indian women also wore moccasin boots sometimes, which were basically just women thigh-length leggings sewn to their moccasins for a one-piece look. Heavy duty boots called Mukluks invention of Inuit(Eskimos)

Native American moccasin design has stood the test of time; not only are moccasins still being made and worn in many Indian tribes today, but they have also passed into the American mainstream, and both hard-soled moccasin shoes and soft-soled moccasin slippers are mass-produced by hundreds of non-native shoe stores now.
