Old Bernard worked with Wassookeag Moccasins for 3 years before Wassookeag Moccasins shut down. Our moccasins are very similar in style, but Old Bernard elevated everything from the leather we use to the manufacturing process, giving our customers truly the best moccasin ever made. Learn more about the history of Wassookeag Moccasins below.
Made in the USA with the highest quality construction, excellence, and pride. Each pair of Wassookeag Moccasins is hand-cut from full hides of premium full-grain leather, hand-lasted and hand-sewn one at a time, only as they are ordered in our small shop nestled in the rolling hills of Central Maine.
Since its beginning in the historic shoe manufacturing, now sleepy little town of Dexter and Lewiston, Maine, Wassookeag Moccasins has been committed to producing the highest quality handmade leather moccasins available on the market today. Wassookeag Moccasins, whose name is derived from the local Lake Wassookeag (meaning "Shining Waters"), was founded on the principle of offering a superior leather moccasin with great service at a fair price.
- The highest quality, handmade moccasins you will find anywhere.
- The finest quality American supplies and leathers - We buy our supplies locally from Maine whenever possible and from within the USA only.
- Our leather moccasins are not a mass-produced product; each pair, each step in our construction process requires skilled hands. These great skills will provide you with handmade leather footwear that has the pride of fine craftsmanship built into every pair.
- Each pair of our triple-sole or soft-sole leather moccasins is painstakingly created step by step, one at a time, by hand, only as they are ordered.
