Do you mean the ox/beefhide summer shoe or the winter version like Arrowmoc.com sells?

Basically a puckered toe, vamped mocc pattern. You'll need a shoe last.

I think that Mike Tharp and Lloyd Cheney use too heavy a leather, but the last is needed to help form it.


You crossing over to the Dark Side???   8)

I would cross if I were in the right area to do it. I am in the middle of SC and not close enough to the mtns. to attempt it. Just wanted to make a pair out of some thick buffalo leather I have.

Then, out of curiousity, why make a French-canadien pattern shoe?

Just to make it. I like to reproduce anything I can  just to say I did. And if they turn out decent, maybe offer some or sale.

Eric,

Getting to this thread awful late.  Did you ever make a pair?  If so, I'd like to see a picture of them.

I would cross over if there were milice units in my area.  But in Arkansas all I can come up with stationed at ARkansas Post were marines....not really interested in that route.

Sounds strange for a born and bred southern boy to say, but sometimes I wish I lived in upstate New York. :oops:
