"Leaf" Moccasins / Custom-Made Barefoot-Shoes

This is the right place to order your custom-fitted leather moccasins. These are minimalist/barefoot moccasins made out of high quality bull-calf leather. 

The shoe is made of a single piece of leather and do not have any plastic or rubber sole. In fact, you will have similar sensations as if you were walking barefoot while being well protected from rocky, pointy, sharp, prickly or burning/cold grounds at the same time.

Even though they are closed shoes, the fact that they are 100% leather gives them very good qualities in terms of breathability and temperature regulation. This is why we like to wear them without socks (except in the winter).

They are suitable to wear indoors and outdoors and are water-resistant although they are not recommended for cold and wet weather. In all cases, they will benefit from a regular coat of leather treatment.

The soft bull-calf leather I use is 2 mm thick. You will easily be able to walk several months (outdoors) before needing to resoled them with leather or thin rubber crepe (see my tutorial: how to make sole and extra leather for sole).

If you wear them outdoors on a regular basis, they will usually need to be resoled once to 4 times a year in rough landscapes. They can be resoled as many times as needed over time and if well taken care of, a pair can last for many years.

If you keep them for indoors they could withstand decades!

THIS DESIGN IS RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE A HIGH ARCH (hight volume feet) and/or if you want a wider toe-box.

Since each person have different feet, I will ask you for a few measurements, a scan of the outline of your feet and a few pictures. This will enable me to fit them as close as possible to your feet so that they can become a bit like a second skin. Within the first week of wearing them, the leather will also stretch a little to perfect the fitting.

I custom-make each pair and have a good rate of good-fittings (8-9/10) yet there is also a risk that the fitting can go wrong, in such case, I will treat each case individually (including refund or sending another pair).

We would usually make and ship your moccasins within 3 days to 1 week after receiving your measurements. Shipping from France usually takes about 7 to 15 days to the USA and up to 3 weeks for Australia and New Zealand.

We offer the material for your first pair of soles but you can already buy more if you like.
