Moccasins are the traditional shoes of Native American Indians. They are made of leather: the sole is made from thick unprocessed leather (the sole is flexible, but it protects the foot of an owner), and the upper part is made from fine thin leather, adorned with embroidery, beadwork, and painted patterns. Sometimes moccasins have a vamp, an additional panel of leather that covers the ankle. For centuries, Native Americans have been using moccasins. Sometimes they really are works of art, with beautiful embellishments.

Moccasins are comfy and cute. But I’ve never tried them on. Have you? How does it feel?
