Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever wear buckskin shoes?

Just that

:mad :m

I knew a guy in the USARMY that wore a buckskin jacket and shoes in fall weather. He also got into midieval reinactments

I had pair of WHITE BUCKS - (Pat Boone) in the mid 50s.

Buckskin moccasins are "a decent way of going barefoot".... I find them pretty much useless. Others adore them. Frontiersmen in the 18th century would have to repair them almost daily, and replace them within a week or less. When you have a constant supply of deer hides, you can do that, I guess.

I have made myself a pair of "shoepacks" (essentially the same as the French Canadian "souliers de boeuf"). Made from real cowhide leather and double soled, as they sometimes were. I have an improved pattern worked out, and eventually, I may get around to making another pair.

I have some elk skin ropers

as a kid i had a pair of hand me down from my cousin .buckskin cowboy boots with fring on the top ,loved those things ,hated it when i out grew them too

Growing up my grandmother gave me several Maine made buckskin and moosehide mocassins as birthday and Christmas gifts.. Wore "dirty bucks" in HS.

Yes. And what Stophel says is spot on.

Last pair of brain tan mocs I made. And I basically made them just for show. If you insist on wesring them, I recommend braintan moosehide.
