Every pair of Bald Mountain Moccasins is custom-fitted to the customer's leg and foot, designed to their specifications and hand-crafted in our workshop.  Some of the options available for your selection:

Leather choices:

The boots are made from durable Buffalo or Bull hides, but can be decorated with cow leather or deerskin. Boot colors can include Black, Chocolate Brown, Cedar, Redwood, Forest Green and Sand but are decorated using a wide range of colors.

About leathers:

There are many leathers to choose from. The following should help you choose the one that best suits your personal needs.

Bison and Water Buffalo are the longest wearing leathers and they keep looking the best over time. They also polish up nicely with shoe polish.

Elk and Moose are softer (spongier) and tend to discolor and scuff easier than other leathers. These are very comfortable and feel great.

Cowhide will only last three to five years, it is thinner, warmer, and comes in more colors.

Buffalo makes the best heel pieces because it is very scuff resistant.  This is good for those who drive a vehicle a lot.

Deerskin is only used as trim because it is not durable enough for the main material in the construction of a moccasin. Trim pieces are usually thinner than the main materials of the body of the moccasins.

Buttons:

Boots can vary in size from an ankle-high 3-button boot to a calf-high 9-button boot. Buttons can be Antler (natural, polished, dyed or burned), Pewter (with designs too numerous to mention here) or coin (American quarters and half-dollars, Canadian quarters, Mexican pesos, Irish harps, English half-pennies, and more).

Soles:

Soles can be Vibrum (with wedge or heel), Birkenstock or Conveyor Belt.

Design:

We have a number of popular designs to choose from but you can work with our trained staff in designing your boots with something unique and personalized to your tastes. See our Design Samples page for pictures illustrating the variety of possibilities.
