Well recently I had a go at making a set of Keltoi moccasins, only the mid height ones, this is what I did.
Materials used, approx 9.5 feet of chrome tanned deerskin, 1 set of Lundhags felt insoles, PVA glue and about 18meters of heavy duty thread.
Tools used, a sharp craft knife, a leather awl with Rombic blade, 2 needles and a cork matt.
Firstly I took one set of felt insoles.
I then cut them to the same size and shape as my foot and used them to make a template a half inch wider all the way around my foot.
I used that template to cut a piece of the Deerskin for the outsole and another piece for the rand.
I glued the rand to the sole, rough side of the rand to smooth side of the sole working out from the point between the second and third toe on the foot and trimmed the rand at the point that it meets at the heel.
I then used my template to cut another piece of deerskin for the insole, so I had insole outsole with rand attached and the felt insole.
