Plains Style Moccasin Pattern

The Indians of the Plains and Plateau areas wore this very basic, hardsole type moccasin which developed out of necessity as protection from the hard and sometimes rocky ground of the prairie that was their home. Normally constructed with soft tanned elk or buckskin uppers and supple, but tough rawhide soles, they represent the most highly refined form of Native American footwear. Today they remain a popular style of moccasin and are both comfortable and durable for dancing, camping or everyday wear.
