Made some strong long-lasting anti-slip mocs
« on: March 14, 2023, 07:48:28 PM »
After from years walking on regular made mocs and experienced in wet weather on grass. I find out that's a slippery feeling. So I created this double hard soled mocs with a extra rubber sole to make it anti-slip and durability 😉😉🙄

Really nice work on the Mocs, also.

Some sort of tread is probably wise because we are all getting too old to fall down and go boom.  Also, consider that the ground we are rendezvousing ans re=enacting is not the same as it was when old time moccasins were used.
I hot glued a set of thin soles onto moccasins that I trapsed around the woods in for years because of this.

Broke my heart only a little worse than not being able to trapse around anymore.

Hawkeye...

The same as a shoe repair guy would use,well used on my own shoe making bench
Rough up both sides and coat them with ordinary contact cement in a well ventilated area.  Let 'em dry all the way.
Then give them both  another shot and use low heat on the heat gun on both surfaces.
Once you mate them it'll be real hard to get them apart.
Trim the excess.

They will be okay even when wet, but will separate once the leather is soaked through and through.
Don't shoot yore eye out, kid
