Moccasins or water shoes?

What do you guys preffer, Moccs or water shoes?

[WocusWoman]

I like Moccasins. I think water shoes are a good choice for little kids though, especially if you can get them to match to their outfits or vice-versa.

i like water shoes,

sometimes i see people who make a design and they either sew their design onto the water shoes, and then the have water moccasins, i'm working on that right now and hopfully it should turn out goot

Why would anyone dance in water shoes... that is just crazy. Also I don't like anyone dancing in tennis shoes... it just don't look good at all.

Thats why all my mocassins have moose hide bottoms, you don't feel a thing.

Moccasins

Do you sell your moccasins, as I am very interested in buying a pair with the tough sole. Sent info to "[email protected]". Thank you Elke

i've started doing beadwork on some tennis shoes for an elder friend of mine. I think it would be easier on her feet than mocs.

I think it's really a matter of people having money or having the knowledge and talent to make real moccasins. I would never use water shoes; but I'm not going to look down my nose at people that do, hey it's great to see people up and dancing. The more the merry.

Well said Wocus Woman..............................
I use Water-Shoes, and If I feel like it, Moccasins

I think water shoes or tennis shoes look out of place. A better
idea would be to take your moccasins to a shoemaker and
have him cement on a very thin "topi" or "dance rubber" sole.
This will give the extra protection, traction, and/or water-
proofing you need without looking "wrong".

You took the words right out of my mouth. They look retarded and if they are oblivious to how the authentic natives feel then they should be told what is right! Just take out by the arm and scream in their face, YOU'RE RETARDED, lol!

I apologize to Apache and Cherokee. I just wanted to make a point and you were caught in the crossfire and for that I am sorry.

Bigfoot!

Actually, as fast as my son's feet are growing, we have used water shoes lately. I prefer the look of the mocs, especially beaded, but it is definitely cheaper to dress up a $5 pair of watershoes that he will outgrow in 2-3 months versus replacing a pair of mocs every 2-3 months. We did make a pair of mocs for a special powwow that he went to last year, and will do so again next summer. But until then, this poor powwow dancer's mom will buy watershoes!
