I have been making moccasins for awhile and the first time I heard was a rawhide sole,well I'll tell you I have been racking my head on how to make them,not sure without a form to keep them in shape. Now I got inventive and found a rubber sheeting that can be used for that purpose ,cut, glue,sew on and then sew up, better then what you just went through and last longer, 5hey look like store bought shoes.
Nice kid friendly video with all that safety gear, double gloves and all, I have a 6 year old pair of Steger mukluks with bum soles, looks like a good kit to get another season out of them.
Very informative video! A good pair of moccasins that have been well taken care of can last a lifetime, especially if quality leather is used. I have a few pairs of Dyer Moccs that I wear and at least one of them was made before I was born. Keep up the great work! I’ve never applied my own soles but I’m tempted to try it out now.
Awesome "Battle Gear" set up. I appreciate your video instruction of the "Lure of The North" moccasins. I will make my Winter and Summer style soon. Thank you.
Does the recycled rubber bits of the sole crumble off after a while? For example if you wear the mocs around the house, is it going to leave little rubber crumbles everywhere? Thanks for the video.
This has been an interesting series, somewhat out of my wheelhouse, but skills I need to acquire. All future videos should be done in full PPE regalia, haha.
Could this be used on regular shoes...to make them quiet? No click clacking down linoleum or hard wood floors? I am definitely going to get this contact cement and that ground up rubber! I've saved all my favorite boots because I couldn't let them go...this might just save a few.
I'm watching this a year after you made this video. Your content isn't coming to me like it should. I really enjoyed this project. I work with leather too. I like the rubber chips idea, but what would you think of using shoe goo? Contact cement gets kind of stiff, and cracks a bit??? Dana
I always assumed that the soft side of leather was less durable. Is that not the case or is it just the sides don't get enough wear to make a difference?
Ive seen this method and heard it holds up well. Im wondering if this cement will work well with burlap or rough canvas for a rubbery micarta type sole. That would be an interesting experiment
Those moccasins must be really nice to wear on dry soil, but bad in urban areas where everyone is walking around doing a little of everything on the ground. They must last you a year of wear in good conditions, but I don't think I could go back to that again.
Love the TH-cam safety gear Josh. Question for you. I spend much of my time outdoors barefoot. I know I shouldn't as I'm in Australia and snakes, Funnel Web spiders, Drop Bears etc but nevertheless I do. Is there a comfort difference if you put the smoothed side of the lower facing out? I imaging you'd " slide" about in them for a while till you bed them in
I am not sure having only tried this one rubber soling kit. I believe LOTN (the makers of the kit) have gone through a couple trying to find the best one that performs in the extreme cold temps and remains soft and pliable the best and settled on the one they provide in this kit.
I would suggest sewing a more durable leather sole such as bison leather using a welt to faciltate resoling. Rubber insulates your body from "Earth Grounding." Maintaining grounding to the earth is important for neurological health.
Josh , I literally just walked in the door wearing the same 511 OD shirt when I got your notification , too bad you couldn't get Vibram soles on your moccasins , HA HA ! Just kidding .
So, the reason I want to eat my moccasins in winter is to continue to get vitamin G (ground). Rubber refutes that purpose. I doubt the indigenous people used rubber. I wonder could you do a video demonstrating a natural way to water/ snow proof mocs? Or maybe you have a link? Or already did such a video? Thanks
Protection on youtube jokes aside, I hope you had some cross ventilation going while you did that. This is coming from an old leathercrafter who has inhaled too much Barge cement fumes and is regretting it now.
This was a great how to series. There is nothing better than a good pair of moccasins IMHO.

The beginning was hilarious!!
Proper PPE my friend! You crack me up! Have a great weekend!
Your sense of humor is great, It is what makes you different then the usual suspects....... You're not stressing you're just having fun
I enjoyed the video Josh thanks for the tips.
Also thank you for your service to our Great Country🇺🇸
So glad you put your armor on! Safety third!
Come to think of it, you could repurpose a used fat bike tire to sole your mocs.
We always learn allot from your educational videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
I gave like for video just for the antics. Beautifully done there bud. Love the content too.

Operator forest wizard Joshua 😂🤣
Great vid Josh
GEAR UP!!! The crash helmet made it all work. 🤣
Josh you are SOOOO CUTE AND HILARIOUS!! I would also make sure I never ever 'walked' across lit coals!!
As mentioned, reflective PT belt. Plus don't think we missed that unsecured chin strap.
😂😂😂
Thanks for posting this series! Great stuff man.
loved the youtube safety bit 🤣🤣🤣 freaking right on and hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Joshua, thanks for sharing, that was great , I was under the impression that you were going to apply a preformed sole , very cool . 👍
Hysterical!
First time I think I've seen you without a cover. :)
This has been an interesting series, somewhat out of my wheelhouse, but skills I need to acquire. All future videos should be done in full PPE regalia, haha.
Great video! Where does one get the rubber particles?
Squadron safety approves

Hey bud that was hilarious! Haven't laughed much lately. Thanks
Great! Thanks.
Some use plastic dip tool rubber paint.
I ordered a kit thanks for the videos!
I bought a rubber pair of rubber boot soles and glued them on . I don't think that pasty mix is durable enough to last long.
That PPE though, LOL.. good job and I get it for TH-cam..

Makes me wonder what your gear list is like for SHTF...
I always assumed that the soft side of leather was less durable. Is that not the case or is it just the sides don't get enough wear to make a difference?
The sides won’t see any wear really, all my mocs have always just worn on the soles of the feet in a very distinct pattern.
Excellent video
Haha I like the WHOOO!!!
Proper PPE.....lol Love the moc's...!!!
Ive seen this method and heard it holds up well.
Im wondering if this cement will work well with burlap or rough canvas for a rubbery micarta type sole. That would be an interesting experiment
Would pine pitch and some binding materials be a natural alternative to the contact cement?
I don’t think that would last very long
Those moccasins must be really nice to wear on dry soil, but bad in urban areas where everyone is walking around doing a little of everything on the ground. They must last you a year of wear in good conditions, but I don't think I could go back to that again.
These are definitely for the woods, I wouldn’t wear them in urban areas
How has the rubber sole held up so far this winter. I hope to do a pair of summer mocs while I rehab from knee replacement
Love the TH-cam safety gear Josh.

I’ve never noticed a difference in comfort between the two, either feels good against the foot
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret thanks Josh, nice to know. The hide side of sheep skin isn't as fine as your material so I was just wondering
I've been wondering how to proof my moccs, awesome. Can I use any contact cement?
I am not sure having only tried this one rubber soling kit. I believe LOTN (the makers of the kit) have gone through a couple trying to find the best one that performs in the extreme cold temps and remains soft and pliable the best and settled on the one they provide in this kit.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret ; Thanks for replying brother, God bless and be well.
You took off the armour plate??
Haha just saw this! Nice PPE!
Nobody outranks safety 😂

What if you use something like flex seal
Heavy, little Buddy!lol!
0:58 these videos are awesome, thank you
Lmao!....oh wait can I say that!...Always a pleasure watching sir. 👍
MOPP LV 9?
You cracked me up!
Where can I get rubber chips?
Good deal.
where do u get the recycled rubber at thanks
The Rubber Soling Kit from lureofthenorth.com

Now all you are missing is a has mat suit.
For a split second I thought this video was going to be advice on performing a proper halo jump judging by your thumbnail.
You forgot ear plugs and hairnet 😜
Get video, I'm definitely going to get this repair kit. THANK YOU!
Where do you recommend buying summer time moccasins? I suck working with leather. Also this is an amazing product! Cant wait to try this out
Lure of the North has summer moc kits
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret awesome thank you so much!
LOOOL!
No duct tape to seal the gloves to the cuffs of your jacket?? OSHA is watching you
TH-cam may have reported this vid to OSHA, it was wise of you to take precautions.
PPE, like PT belts are the butt of all jokes until the chemical's eat the sleeve off of your flannel shirts.....Oh wait..
Protection on youtube jokes aside, I hope you had some cross ventilation going while you did that. This is coming from an old leathercrafter who has inhaled too much Barge cement fumes and is regretting it now.
More PPE is like more cowbell. Hahahahaha
What this video needs is more cowbell. I put my pants on like everybody else, but once my pants are on...I make winter moccasins
you forgot a face shield ......lol
ROFLOL!!
Looks like you're suiting up for a Hong Kong protest.
👍🤪🤯😳😷😷😷👍
LOL😄
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
