Laurentian Chief snowshoe moccasins

[@francoisd3903]

Hey men , i love your style and your videos . And thank you for the discovering of these boots. I will enjoy more my Quebec temperature with them.

[@wildforwool3821]

Thanks I appreciate it. Glad to help!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks for sharing man! They look quite a bit like the LL Bean Moccasins on the bottom part.

I just ordered a pair a couple days ago. Should be here Tuesday. I bought a pair of mukluks in the 70's and they lasted me 20 yrs and weren't anywhere near as nice as these.

Yeah brother a crepe sole is a natural latex rubber from a rubber tree

You cant go into extreme temperatures with those. Even thick wool socks, they arent designed for that. They are snowshoe moccasins, I owned the exact same pair bought in Sudbury years ago and still have them somewhere around here. They are meant for dry cold aerobic (snowshoeing) activities. You sit stagnant and they will not keep you warm, and are definitely not meant for any type of wet cold conditions (basicly anything under -10). The warmth from your body melts the snow on top of the moccasins if you sit still at those temps and they will soak, causing your feet to become cold.

Well I can tell you're no cobbler, Do you go around vomiting misinformation like this in real life or just on the internet?

I suspect this guy's all hat and no cattle.

I have a smaller version of these that are more or less identical minus the length, and this was my experience. They work for easier winter temperatures and if you are on the move a lot, but not great if you're sitting still. My toes tend to get cold when winter really hits.

[@cannedanchovies]

i disagree, i wore these up in alaska in some fairly harsh conditions and they kept me warm and held up well.

[@user-mb4se6km5p]

I have some of these they were great. Winter in northern Arizona. Unfortunately after welding in these for about two weeks the stitches burnt and the boots unraveled.

[@Daws867]

...please dont weld in moccasins lol.

Thank God for Modern PAK Boots , W/ rubber bottoms & felts , no way my feet keep warm in -30 weather .

Cool boots.

[@rustyshackleford17]

Have you worn these on concrete or asphalt? Never had good luck with these types of soles. Can these even be resoled when they do wear out?

[@wildforwool3821]

I don’t have much experience with these on pavement, mainly just in the snow. I haven’t worn them out and am actually unsure if they can be resoled.

[@rustyshackleford17]

@@wildforwool3821 I've been looking at these for about a year now. Hard to find US dealers and I'd rather not have to deal with international returns...

[@Daws867]

you can resole moccasins. Crepe soles are common in the moccasin world, its hard to find someone that does it right tho. Like any type of resoling nowadays, hard to find people that can do it properly. Cobblers aren't as sought after, it's an art that has been lost like many others.

[@capnspicy5565]

@@rustyshackleford17 Yes, these would be very easy to resole, it's a simple blake stitch construction, crape can be purchased in sheets, take old outsole off, place on top of replacement material, trace outline, mark holes, very important to mark holes correctly, get a good contact cement, I like Barge brand, follow directions on can for best adhesion, use paper to avoid premature adhesion while aligning the holes on the soles, once aligned gently slide paper out while checking alignment, now use a block of wood inside and a mallet to pound them together for best adhesion, now get a good waxed thread and do what's called a saddle stitch all the way around... It sounds more complicated than it is, I use toothpicks to aid in aligning stitch holes on these types of shoes, hardest part is making sure them holes are aligned, you don't want extra holes in your shoes
