Who Are We?
 Footwear
by Footskins is an American manufacturer of fine quality handmade
deerskin and cowhide moccasins and moccasin footwear, which
includes moccasin shoes, chukka-style, ankle high walking
boots, knee high moccasin boots, moccasin slippers, and custom
made moccasins. We have recently added deerskin handbags and
coinpurses plus cowhide moccasin products. Footskins has provided
comfortable moccasin footwear for almost four decades with
the skills passed down from one generation to the next. We
have grown and expanded while still maintaining our ability
and care to meet your individual footwear needs.
Where Are We Located?
Footwear by Footskins is located in Spring Grove, Minnesota
(USA). Spring Grove is situated in what is known as Bluff
Country, a scenic area of rolling hills and valleys in southeastern
Minnesota near the Mississippi River. All of the moccasin
footwear that we sell is handcrafted and made in America right
here in Spring Grove. Please feel free to stop in and visit
our store at 110 East Main Street in Spring Grove. We are
open from 8:00 - 5:00, CST, Monday - Friday and 9:00 - 1:00
on Saturday. The store also carries deerskin and cowhide leather
gloves, hats, handbags & coinpurses.
 Email from a Minnesota customer: "When we reached your store, the woman greeted us,
showed me the exact boots I wanted in my size. They fit and are VERY comfortable. I wish
all my purchase experiences were like this! Already, people have been asking where I bought them.
I recommend your shop with the highest marks! Thanks very much!"
What Makes Footskins' Moccasin Footwear Special?
*Made in America: Footskins moccasin footwear
products are 100% made in the USA. Each pair is handcrafted
using high quality American deerskin and cowhide leather.
*Quality Moccasins: Our handcrafted moccasin
products use a high grade of deerskin or cowhide leather and
feature hand-laced toes and soles that are both glued and
stitched. Our moccasin footwear outlasts similar products
by the competition. We use a double layer of deerskin leather
in most of our moccasin styles to provide extra strength and
durability.
*Handmade or Custom Made: Being handmade
rather than mass produced, each pair is carefully crafted
with much attention given to the details. The result is a
superior moccasin product with high quality and workmanship
you can count on pair after pair. We also custom make moccasins.
Why Deerskin?
We use two layers of premium deerskin in most of our moccasin
styles for the ultimate in buttery soft, lightweight, breathable
comfort. The softness and flexibility of our deerskin moccasin
footwear provide a more natural shoe that allows your feet
to do the walking rather than just your legs. Our deerskin
moccasin footwear is perfect for "problem" feet--bunions,
corns, and other sensitive areas. The softness of our deerskin
will readily conform to the shape of each individual's feet.
This eliminates the rubbing and irritation during the normal
break-in of stiffer leathers. Because of its breathability,
deerskin is very comfortable, cool in summer and warm in winter.
Deerskin stays soft after it has been wet and is easy to care
for.
What Makes Footskins' Moccasins So Comfortable?
In Footskins' moccasins, the flexibility and buttery softness
of deerskin are combined with true moccasin construction to
make exceptionally comfortable moccasin and moccasin footwear.
In our deerskin, some of the stretch is taken out before the
footwear is made to prevent them from stretching too much
on the feet. This allows the deerskin to comfortably mold
to your feet for a natural custom-like fit.
Which Leather Should I Choose?
Why Deerskin Leather? Deerskin is unsurpassed
for being breathable, lightweight, and comfortable. Simply
put, deerskin leather will conform to your feet more easily.
It moves with your feet and gives where you need it to give.
Because of this, it requires no breaking in period as most
leathers do. Deerskin leather will stay soft even after being
wet repeatedly. It is a superior leather for many foot problems.
Why Cowhide Leather? Though deerskin leather
is strong, cowhide is tougher and more resistant to abrasion.
Cowhide will be more durable, hold its shape better, give
more support and with a little care, look better longer. It
will hold up better in rough conditions. Cowhide can be waterproofed
and should have a leather conditioner applied from time to
time to maintain its softness in harsh conditions. By using
high quality Texas steer hides that are specially tanned and
tumbled, we have a cowhide leather that is thick for extra
durability, yet soft and flexible for comfort.
Sequoia, Taupe, Brown, Saddle, Creme, Saddle, Brown, Gray <<<--- COLORS
Which Color Is The Dark Brown?
Brown is the dark brown, and Saddle
is the medium brown.
What Are SorboAir® Insoles?
 SorboAir® insoles have air-infused Sorbothane® heel-to-toe for maximum shock absorption and comfort. SorboAir® insoles have a molded arch support and cupped heel for rear foot stability. The Poron® top cover wicks away moisture and provides additional cushioning. See More Information.
What Are The Main Differences In Your Soles?
Our Crepe Sole is a firmer, more shoe-like
soling with a heel. It is a high quality Italian crepe sole that is flexible and has a slip-resistant surface.
The Rubber Sole is more flexible, more quiet, and has a grippy, outdoor tread. The Rubber Sole is a heftier sole compared to the Molded Sole. The Molded Sole is thinner and more lightweight than the Rubber Sole but still suitable for outdoors.
The Molded Sole is more moccasin-like without much tread. Our durable Canoe Sole is made of thick cowhide suede leather.
The new TPR Rubber Sole is flexible and slip-resistant. The new Natural Crepe Rubber Sole has a pebble grain texture,
natural bounce, and is slip-resistant.
Do You Sell Moccasins Wholesale?
Yes, we do sell our moccasins wholesale. Please call us toll
free at 1-888-720-3131 or e-mail us at service@footwearbyfootskins.com
to request our wholesale information.

How Do I Choose Moccasins for Size?
As deerskin accommodates sizes more easily, we
stock whole sizes in a medium width only. We recommend
you buy your normal shoe size. If you wear a half
size, it is usually better to go down a half size
since our moccasin footwear runs slightly large.
If your feet are wide, you may want to go up a
size. A functional lace on our slip-on moccasin
styles also helps to adjust for fit.
We also offer custom-made moccasins and moccasin
footwear to fit extra wide, narrow, or unusually
shaped and hard-to-fit feet. If you question the
need for custom footwear, please feel free to
send us tracings and measurements of your feet
as is described in the section on Custom Moccasin
Footwear. You will find the link at the top of
our home page www.footwearbyfootskins.com.

How Long Can I Expect Footskins Moccasins To
Last?
Because our footwear is handcrafted using special techniques
and quality deeskin or cowhide leather, you can expect
our moccasin footwear to last as well or better than
any other similar products. We have received numerous
compliments from customers referring to the quality
of our footwear, some stating that they last 2 - 3 times
longer than other similar brands. As with any product,
proper use and wear will prolong the life of the footwear.
Neglect and misuse will shorten the time of wear.

How Do I Care For Deerskin Moccasin Footwear?
Deerskin is easy to care for. It will stay soft even after
repeatedly getting wet and dry. Because of this it is not
necessary to treat it with a protection from water. Many leather
protectors will darken the leather and/or affect the breathability
of the deerskin. We recommend that you test any leather care
products first to insure the results that you desire. Most
soiled spots can be removed by gently hand washing using a
mild soap and water. You should always let the moccasin leather
dry naturally. For grease spots, apply flour or baby powder
and let sit 24 hours to absorb grease before brushing off.
Repeat if necessary.
