Moccasins
« on: May 19, 2016, 04:06:27 pm »
Hey, Yosemite Ben asked me for a picture of my Poppen Moccasins and I figured I'd just start a thread and put all of mine on it.

Let's see yours; Maybe we can all get some different ideas looking at someone else's style.

I was going to get Debbie and I a pair when I was at the classic but, they weren't there this year.  I think John Ford got a pair last year ordered then they sent them
to him.  Those look good Eddie.

Thanks Aaron. Dave, I got fitted at the Classic and they were at my house a week after I got home. That's why I had to sell ten bows, the Moc's and Gator Permits showed up at the same time.

Cool Eddy ! I really like the two pairs of center seams on the left - Bob.

That dark pair looks like they would do the job when bow hunting. Is the bottom as thick as it looks in the picture?

It's pretty thick JEB, I think it's pig skin if I am not mistaken at least mine are, very comfortable to wear in the wood, a little slick if you don't watch yourself but not as bad as you would think.  :)

Very nice Eddie. I made a pair for my wife, Tsa La Gi pucker toe style. have not finished them as of yet. Mostly detail work. I made them from her sandals as a surprise so they are a little big. Got to make more to stay in practice.

I have a pair of the high ones.  I put them on for the first time at this year's Classic.  My feet were getting sore in my boots.  The Poppens' were definitely the cure.  Even brand new, they fit like a glove and were like walking on air.  Was sad to miss them this year, I was going to get the "Little Woman" a pair and possibly a 2nd for myself.

Beadman the rough looking ones 0n the left I made about fifteen years ago, they are from a Seminole pattern, very easy to make. The two smoked ones on the left are Native made. I bought them in Northern Manitoba.Very light and comfortable.
