Historically, it is the footwear of many indigenous people of North America; moreover, hunters, traders, and European settlers wore them.
The Plains Indians wore hard-sole moccasins, given that their territorial geography featured rock and cacti.
In New Zealand and Australia, sheep shearers' moccasins are constructed of a synthetic, cream-colored felt, with a back seam and gathered at the top of the rounded toe.
The addition of rubber-pad sole adds to the versatility and longevity of the shoe while maintaining the flexibility and comfort of a traditional moccasin.
Normally by weld stitching two pieces of leather or fabric, the pattern creates a U-shaped design around the toe box.
