1. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace the outline with the marker or chalk.
2. Measure the length from the longest toe to the heel and note it down.
3. Measure the width of the widest part of your foot and note it down.

Remember to measure both feet as they may differ slightly in size.

Step 2: Creating the Patterns

Now that we have the measurements, it's time to create the patterns for our barefoot shoes. For your convenience, we have provided downloadable patterns which you can print and use as a reference. The patterns include the sole and upper parts of the shoes.

Moccasins are soft-soled leather shoes that act and feel just like a second skin. They are perfect for protecting your feet from sharp objects, dirt, etc., while simultaneously allowing you to feel the ground’s texture. They are perfectly suitable to wear outdoors, but they also make very good indoor shoes.

Learn how to make custom-fitted leather moccasins by hand.

With this book, you will gain access to 2 hours of video, in which Lougaya will clearly and precisely demonstrate how to make a pair of her moccasins, all with very few simple tools. What sets these moccasins and patterns apart from others that you will find on the market is that these are made to be adjusted exactly to the morphology of each individual person.

Lougaya’s video tutorial helps viewers understand the right gesture, whereas the book helps you keep track of each step in order. Even after your first pair, this book is useful to remember how to make them without having to watch all the videos again.

Beginners might take one day to achieve their first pair of moccasins, but with practice, a pair can easily be done in 2 to 3 hours only.

Patterns cover sizes EU 32 to 48 / US 3 to 13 / UK 1 to 12 in all morphology types, including people with bunions.

Note: The Moon moccasins are advisable for people with a strong instep (when the width around the arch/instep is wider than around the ball of the foot). Although the pattern can be adjusted in shape, it is the best pattern for people with rather pointy feet.
