How to Make Custom Side-Seam Moccashoes

In this video I show you how to make custom side-seam moccashoes. Even though this version looks like a moccasin, if you change the topline it can look like a shoe. A moccashoe is: 1. simple to make 2. minimalist (you can add cushioning inside if you like), 3. custom-made to fit the wearer’s foot 4. can be made unique with lots of variations 5. made with few and inexpensive tools, and 6. is made of ecological materials.
