Abstract A moccasin having a continuous vamp defining the insole beneath the foot and the sides of the moccasin. The vamp is connected to the upper at the top of the moccasin. The moccasin has a wear and scuff resistant outer sole, which includes an integral side wall that extends up to and is secured to the sides of the vamp. The outer sole is shaped by a midsole which is secured therein. A full cushion pad, extending toe to heel is provided between the midsole and the underside of the vamp of the moccasin. In addition, a heel cushion pad of substantially the same thickness as the full cushion pad is provided between the full cushion pad and the heel portion of the underside of the vamp. The heel cushion pad is skived at its front end to avoid any ridge which might be annoying to the foot. The full advantage of the cushioned softness and feel of a moccasin is achieved while wear resistance and protection against ground texture and hazards are provided.
