Excerpt from our 1997 winter catalog:

Here they are again in all their salt-marshy splendor...and then some! Genuine, hand-sewn moccasin construction. Our Duck Shack Moccasins are built to last...mine are over 25yrs in service and while the soles are beginning to show the places they've been, the handsewn stitching is solid. They are typically worn indoors but can also pull light duty trekking outdoors for things like: emergency dog walks, trips to the bar-b-que, sneak-outs to the barn for cigar breaks, and of course, a walk down the dock to check on the boats.

Details:

• Genuine handsewn moccasin construction
• HH weight, veg-tan leather
• Genuine Vibram® 100% rubber outsole
• Fully lined with calf skin leather

Story:

Excerpt from our 1997 winter catalog:

“One night, some twenty-odd years ago while all were asleep, Capt. Bob Gaskill’s lab ‘Shadow’ turned his master’s favorite leather slippers into a midnight snack. Still, you can’t leave the duck shack without hearing at least one version of this story. He never found a suitable replacement…for the slippers that is.”

Here you have the sistership to the original Duck Shack Moccasin in its salt-marshy splendor! Genuine, hand-sewn moccasin construction and fully lined in genuine calf leather. Our Duck Shack Driving Moccasins are built to take you places the Original Duck Shack Moccasin could only dream of: outdoors where the ground is wet, and ride is wild...due of course to the addition of a genuine Vibram® 100% rubber outsole for which sticks-and-stones are no match! So, head out in confidence for those emergency dog walks, trips to the bar-b-que, sneak-outs to the barn for cigar breaks, and of course, a walk down the dock to check on the boats.

French Ambassadors

Not since the Statue of Liberty have the French been so appreciated. The handcrafted, Le Chameau Vierzonord Rubber Boot is reason again to celebrate. It was created in 1965, and since has become the #1 choice of demanding, educated outdoorsmen from Maine to Marseilles. Educated about what, you ask? Natural rubber and vulcanized construction vs. ‘em fashion-fancy imposters made from all sorts of synthetic compounds and found in department stores. All Le Chameau boots are crafted of 100% natural rubber (not latex). The Vierzonord is fully lined with 3mm Neoprene which will keep your feet from getting sweaty and…pardon our French…stinky. The heavy-duty, expandable waterproof gusset accommodates a variety of calf profiles which when snugged creates secure, comfortable fit. All this sits atop a dual-density, reinforced shank sole. Whether your commute takes you across the bay in a sneakbox or cross-town in an SUV, you’ll be walking tall upon arrival. Le Chameau…all the French you need to know.
