women's moccasins

The moccasin is considered to be the shoe of the Native Americans and is one of the oldest shoe models in human history! It found its way to Europe in the 18th century via American settlers of European descent, who brought it to England.
Its construction is fundamentally different from all other construction methods in the shoe industry. Here, the last is not covered with the shoe shaft from above as is usual and then completed with a sole from below, but the shaft is placed around the last from below and then the opening created on the top is closed with a U-shaped leaf insert. The shaft thus also forms the insole. Since there are no seams here, a high level of comfort is guaranteed, because the foot only touches the mostly soft upper material.
The moccasin generally does not have a high heel and is extremely flexible. It can be combined very well with trousers and skirts, but it can also determine the look of a simple outfit. That is why moccasins are available in both simple outer materials and in eye-catching floral patterns, for example.
Slippers with a small heel (loafers) are often made in the moccasin style, but strictly speaking these are not “real” moccasins.
