Mullet....Yea your down there in swaneee land Florida the seminole were there.I kinda patterened mine after the sioux from South Dakota.They can last for years and years.I think sometimes little repair type kits were carried with them to fix mocs where holes were.
Your heavy duty pair there is a lot like my dyer mocs I bought.3/8" thick soles for sure but slick on the hillside like Pappy said earlier.....lol.Just when it's dry though.

 Billy Bowleg was a Seminole Indian. The family is still around as far as I know. :o

Ed, the good thing about hunting in mine is at least down here I don't have to worry about sliding off of hillsides. I need two pair, one to hunt in while a pair is drying out. But, Pappy is right, when I hunt at Twin Oaks in the Fall it's like ice skating with them on.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yep, Bowleg's Creek is ten miles south of where I live and the family is in the Glades giving Airboat rides and wrestling with gators.

Cool.Those heavy duty mocs like my dyers and yours there need to conform to a person's foot to be comfortable so when I got mine I walked in the creek a while to get them wet then wore them dry.Perfect fit now.

I wish I hadn't had them dyed dark brown, now. If I wear them without socks my toe nails are red for a week.
