THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT, BUT A DO-IT-YOURSELF KIT WITH LEATHER AND TOOLS. THE TUTORIAL IS INCLUDED IN DIGITAL FORMAT (VIDEO + PDF + PATTERNS)

Learn how to custom-make leather boots by hand with very few tools.
Get -50% on the tutorial straight away when purchasing the leather and tools at the same time.

You can add some felt to your cart for lining the boots. The technique is covered in the tutorial.

If you want to line the boots, please let us know your measurements wrapping around your instep and at the broadest just before your toes. We would like to avoid sending you too much or not enough of the felt material. 

In three and a half hours of instruction, Lougaya will show you exactly how to make your own boots and moccasins using laces. (Watch the introduction of the course here: https://vimeo.com/697549112/4f7b9a5adf)

You only need a few simple hand tools to do everything at home.
We are certain that even those who have never sewn or worked with leather before can easily finish this project.

For cold weather, the tutorial shows how to make these moccasins with laces in both low-top and boot styles. It also shows how to add a sheepskin or other warm lining. Making soles, making leather balm, and more ways to use leather scraps are also covered.

The Kit includes:
- A large piece of leather to make the lower part of the moccasins (bottom)
- A smaller piece of leather to make the upper part of the moccasins (top)
- An Awl
- A Belt Punch (4 mm - 1/8 inch)
- Some Waxed Thread
- 2 Saddlers Needles

The Kit does NOT include:

- the felt for lining the boots
- the printed patterns
- extra leather or rubber for soles
- scissors

The tutorial and patterns are in digital format. To reduce the price of postage, we do not send the printed patterns, but if you can't print them easily on your side, please let us know, and we will gladly add them to your package.
Extra material for soles and/or scissors can be purchased separately (see links below).

 

What are Moccasins ?

Moccasins are:

  • 100% in leather
  • zero-drop minimalist shoes
  • respectful of one's morphology
  • extremely soft and comfortable
  • durable
  • versatile and all-terrain
  • unisex and casual
  • handmade

Materials

We work with the most prestigious quality of bull-calf leather from France.
It stands out for its natural aspect, its soft and
waxy touch
but mostly for its softness, and thickness at the
same time.
This leather is very comfortable and safe to wear
on the skin.
If well-taken care of with resoling and leather care, it
can withstand years of intensive wear.

Dimensions

Kit for Low Moccasins:
+- 38 x 60 cm / 15" to 23.5"

Care information

Can be dry-cleaned with a soft brush or with a wet cloth. Make sure the
shoes are drying quickly and thoroughly if they got wet. You can hang them on a
line for instance.

Regularly nourish the leather with a leather
balm or leather lotion.

They can be resoled with leather or thin compact rubber
sheets
to keep the barefoot feel of the moccasins. Soles are simply glued
and can be renewed as many times as needed. A tutorial on this topic is
included in all our moccasins tutorials.
