How thick is the crepe sole? I will be making mine soon. I am glad to see that you made yours longer for ankle warmth. I was thinking make mine the same way. Great video.
Your doing it just like I do except I also trace the sole onto the moccasin as well then your guaranteed that the sole fits perfectly with glue in the right places
I liked this very much. I'm in the process of making my first pair of mocs. My issue was I didn't want to use leather strap for the soles, yet I didn't want the sole of the moccasins to wear out either. This was a great alternative. Good tip also on insoles, think I have a pair around here, makes for betteer comfort on the feet. Thanks a million!
There's all types of things you can buy or make. I prefer to try things out. Make my own things. Test different things. Just have fun with it. Thank you for your comment
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 nice, I've been thinking of making my own shoes to to basically feel more human and after hear about how walking barefoot is better for our health, and moccasins are the closest thing to being barefoot
@@jamesgibson7114 thank you. I actually think im gonna modify the top of mine. Currently they fold up and you wrap strings around then tie. Im thinking about trimming them and making more like a lace up style
just a suggestion but it will be better cutting the pattern from each shoe ans marking them for a more custom fit. Before gluing the soul of moccasin use a wire brush and give the bottom a good scrubbing where the soul attaches.
You are correct. I rough up all my new smooth leather. I was gambling in the fact they were used and a little beat up that it would adhere good. I was right. They are still attached to this day
jusr bought hush pupy leather mocs wiv wedge crepe two piece soles that glue release after day or two from new so looking alternatives for this prob,lucky strikes
I buy rubber sheeting ,mats from a store called PRI cess auto at about 7.00 a foot or so and glue or sew it to the bottoms of my moccs. Been looking for cheaper ways to do this.
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 it was used in trucks for lining the bed. But I found d it the same as some of the stuff I was paying big money for.you can cut it with scissors or knife and mine came in 3 thicknesses. The one I have has a patterns on it / \
Hey!! Loved your video and lol about the fan or window not open 😂 but was wondering how your soles are holding up. I’m currently making myself some Mukluks but not about to sew the thick rubber on by hand haha would rather glue it :) thanks in advance
I make mukluks and some sew it on but to me it comprises the bottoms, now they put a lot of holes where wet can come in. I live up North where we hit minus 30 and colder, I just use the cement glue
@Learning5515 so far way better than I had hoped. Had a little separation at the side of the toes. But a little trim and clean up and reglue fixed that right up. But in all honesty I have not worn them this year very much at all. Last year was way more.
Dave get yourself a set of gasket cutting scissors. Not the shear it just cuts roll or rope style. I have a cheapO set in 3 sizes and cut anything from gasket material to thick leather. Use to use them when I worked on industrial boilers and pumps .
Adrieana Jefferson oh goodness. I believe it was 12 x 12 and 9 mm thick. I tried to go back and bite my recent purchases and it wasn't there. I'll continue to look. If i find it. I'll update
I would make sure anyone working with that sort of cement to make sure they have adequate ventilation (best outside, honestly) and to work with a decent mask or ventilator because inhaling those fumes can potentially give you brain cancer. Heard of a guy who worked with that a lot without taking precautions and that happened to him. Gnarly stuff. Be safe out there, folks!
Great video. I have moccs that my friend made and the crepe soles are 'dissolving' and are very sticky and I am now scraping the sole off. Was the glue used incompatible?
Some crepe soles are not separate premade soles glued on, but an unset crepe "goo" that is troweled on and vulcanized in place. Perhaps your soles did not receive enough heat to fully "set" for maximum strength. Just waiting for it to dry is not enough.
Great demo vid✨Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Where did you get your crepe? I live in Japan and I can’t find crepe rubber ...even Amazon!
I was holding my breath while you were laying down those soles...Great job! And THANKS for the terrific idea!
Lol thank you very much. They are still going strong. I'm glad I could help
I'm looking into making my 1st pair of mocs, and came across this video. You've gained a new subscriber and thanks for the idea! Take care!
Thank you very much and I hope they turn out beautiful
Thank you for the lesson on placing soles on mocs ! I can't wait to do my moccasins !
Wonderful. I hope they turn out wonderful for you
Love this idea. Did you do a update video to this? I would love to know how it turned out.
No I haven't. They have worked wonderful. Haven't worn them in a while but I will come spring

@@megamiet1210 thank you so much. And I believe it was 3/8
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing your process
Thank you for viewing
Lmao thank you for sharing and the fan tip! I was about to comment I hope you had ventilation 😂 barge is great!
Lol thank you berry much for your comment. Ventilation is a must for sure
Your doing it just like I do except I also trace the sole onto the moccasin as well then your guaranteed that the sole fits perfectly with glue in the right places
oh, smart!
I could tell by the wear spot from my use where they would go. But yes. That's a great idea. Thank you
Great work thanks for this Great work, could you give me the link for this rubber sheet if you remember it.
I don't remember it. But I found out on ebay
Where can you buy thick crepes? I can only find really thin ones
I found it on ebay. Most ones you find have a drop down menu for thickness selecting. From what I've seen. How this helps

Pucker toe moccasins are so simple great vid
Thank you very much
is that Barge contact cement?
Yes it is
How did the 2 part epoxy hold up? Normally I see people use barge cement. I wonder which one is better.
I used barge in this.
You can buy soles for them that are just like shoes , tennis shoes or flat boots.
There's all types of things you can buy or make. I prefer to try things out. Make my own things. Test different things. Just have fun with it. Thank you for your comment
How flexible are the shoes after the rubber has been put on
Very.
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 nice, I've been thinking of making my own shoes to to basically feel more human and after hear about how walking barefoot is better for our health, and moccasins are the closest thing to being barefoot
@@sethtwc moccasins are amazing. Wonderful without the rubber souls. But the leather will eventually wear a hole.
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 how long does it take to wear a hole if your wearing every day?
@@bitslittle that will all sieve on your feet. Your material and the surface you are walking on
Nice job. I have some snowshoe mocs that would benefit from this treatment. Thanx for showing us how.
No prob. Thank you so much for checking it out
Do you have a video on making the pucker toe mocs are is there one that you watched that's available on line. Great video on adding the rubber soles.
I do not. I can make one. If there is one just do a bunch of searching on you tube. Im not sure to be honest
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 It would be great if you made one because yours are he coolest ones I've saw.

Steve Bez I've had these on for a while now and I've worn them about 5 times and I've had no issues as of yet
Very nicely done..so update how did they feel when you went to wear em 🙂
I still wear them regularly. They are amazing
Very nice ! Where did you get the crepe material?
I ordered it from Amazon or ebay I can't remember exactly which one
I buy rubber sheeting ,mats from a store called PRI cess auto at about 7.00 a foot or so and glue or sew it to the bottoms of my moccs. Been looking for cheaper ways to do this.
Is that rubber crinkled for reaction and malleable for comfort?

@@blkcat1254 gotcha. If it works it works
J’aime bien vos mocassins .vous n’avez pas une vidéo qui montre comment faire le parton ? Merci
Translation? Google didn't help
I just received 4mm crepe rubber for my mocs... not sure if it'll be too thick??? Any opinion?
If you can work with it and you like it, I'm sure it will functionally work just fine.
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 cool 😎
What was the material you used and the glue
Sole Material is crepe rubber. Shoe is elk leather I believe. Glue is barge. Thank you for your comments
Hey!! Loved your video and lol about the fan or window not open 😂 but was wondering how your soles are holding up. I’m currently making myself some Mukluks but not about to sew the thick rubber on by hand haha would rather glue it :) thanks in advance
So dat they are doing pretty good. Haven't tested them heavily. That will happen this spring though. I plan on wearing them a lot more this year
I make mukluks and some sew it on but to me it comprises the bottoms, now they put a lot of holes where wet can come in. I live up North where we hit minus 30 and colder, I just use the cement glue
So . . its been six years since this video. Did your crepe soles hold up well??
I have some Mukluks to re-sole.
@@dougniergarth yes they did. Little reglue and trim at front one time. But she soles are still on them to this day
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 Outstanding!
Thanks for the come-back.
@dougniergarth no problem
How they been holding up? Any issues?
@Learning5515 so far way better than I had hoped. Had a little separation at the side of the toes. But a little trim and clean up and reglue fixed that right up. But in all honesty I have not worn them this year very much at all. Last year was way more.
@ I appreciate the the reply and update. Thank you.
Any suggestions if crepe is good for snowy conditions on moccasins? Or if there is a better material to sole with? Thank you so much in advance?
I would assume it would be fine. I love in middle Georgia so I don't have much experience with snow. If you find out though, please let me know
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 Will do! Thank you very much for the video and replies. Helpful through and through.
@@mariejean5906 thank you very much. I'm sorry I didn't have a better answer for you
We use rubber crepe on our mukluks and mocs here in Labrador :)
@@bquehe Cannot thank you enough. Your reply is very much appreciated!

BlackPowder Bill awesome might try to find some. Those scissors are meat scissors. Thought they would do a good job lol
Are the rubber soles staying on so far? I have latigo sole moccasins im going to type to glue 6mm crepe to the bottom but I don't want it to peel off
Mine are doing great. I was actuary wearing them all weekend in the woods. In wet conditions. Use good glue
I made my son a pair and they lasted 10 years
Love that pattern,looks like just 1 piece of leather.
Pretty much is. Several patterns work out with one solid piece. But then you can add tongues or heel pull tabs or other things if you please
Looks good ,hope they feel great!
They still do
Thank you
how big is the sheet of rubber you bought?? and how thick?
Adrieana Jefferson oh goodness. I believe it was 12 x 12 and 9 mm thick. I tried to go back and bite my recent purchases and it wasn't there. I'll continue to look. If i find it. I'll update
Adrieana Jefferson found it on amazon. 18x20" 6mm or 1/4" thick.

@@laurienscoville1216 definitely. Stuff is strong
great video! where can I buy that rubber? do you have a link...? thank you
I got it off ebay. Search crepe rubber sheets. Then pick your preference
Where did you purchase the Crepe material from?
Ebay
What was the thickness of the crepe rubber you used? I'm finding 1/8" and 1/4"?
I wanna say it was 1/4. Possibly 3/8.
I really appreciate this video. Thanks! I plan on adding these to some Jorvik viking shoes I'm making.
Nice. Something similar is on my to do list as well. Im glad you liked it
Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this.
No prob. Any questions or video requests just let me know
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 Show us how you made thos awesome moccasins please.
Did you make these moccasins? What kind of leather did you use? and what thickness? TIA
It's elk
4oz I believe
Thank you
Where did you get your crape?
Ebay I believe
Nice move it been over a year now did they hold up. Thinking about doing this to a winter moc with gaters?
Yes they have. The sides are not as solid but the centers and majority are still glued tight

Did you make these Mocs or purchase?
I Mahe most similar. This particular pair I did not make.
Great video I will be using your method for my mukluks.
Wonderful. I hope it works well for you
How are these soles holding up?
Still going strong. I haven't added any more glue like I thought I might.
@@sabetoutdoorsurvival1862 awesome. I'm going to use your method for a pair of my own. Do you have a link to find the cement you used?
@@anthonyyowzer I buy the barge all purpose. You can get it from any craft store or hardware store
Great job!
Thank you
Do you have the pattern for the pucker toes moccasins? Also where do you buy the crepe rubber?
Crepe i got from eBay and the pattern is drawn specific to each foot
Awesome
Very cool. Thanks big B.
Jeff Russell thanks brother
Contact cement is some nasty smelling stuff, but it is strong and flexible like nobody's business.
It dang sure does the job
Im 5 years late but thanks for the video and idea.
Never to late. Glad I could still be of some help.
