Joe O'Leary hybrid moccasin

[Mang]

Thought I’d share with you how I found making a pair of the ‘Joe O’Leary hybrid moccasins’ as per the article he did for Bushcraft and Survival Skills magazine, and latterly on his blog (which I’ve posted about before)…

My blog entry is here http://austinlill.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/moccasins-aka-bushcraft-booties.html


And Joe’s article is here http://joeoleary1.blogspot.co.uk/2013_05_01_archive.html

Flipping amazing mate! I have this on my list of things to make, yours really do look great. Thanks for posting.

Superb work, do you use them much? Are they as comfy as they look? I wasn't sure how to take Joes comment about certainly feeling the forest floor in the original blog

Joe is spot on, even with the rubber 'sole' added. I would add that I was helping out Woodlife Trails on Saturday and gave them an wear but, not surprisingly, my feet did start to feel a little chilly after a while so factor in a thick pair of socks to your measurements if extended winter useage is planned.
