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.
