How Your Moccasins Are Made
Selecting the Sacred Hide
Everything begins with honoring the animal. We carefully select premium quality cowhides, moosehides, and elkhides. Each hide is vetted manually for natural consistency, strength, and flawless texture to guarantee absolute longevity and comfort.

Sizing & Fitting Wisdom
Because authentic Canadian leather stretches, finding your true size in Spirit Moccasins differs slightly from modern stiff department store footwear.
• Women's Sizing: If you wear a standard whole size, order your exact size. If you wear a half size (e.g., 7.5), order down to the nearest whole size (Size 7).
• Men's Sizing: If you wear a standard whole size, order your exact size. If you wear a half size (e.g., 9.5), order up to the nearest whole size (Size 10).
Traditional Canadian leather has natural stretch and memory—it is designed to feel snug at first, but will adapt beautifully to your unique footprint within a few days of active wear.
If you are still unsure, use our interactive size chart located in the footer to help.
• If you wear a whole size: Stick to your standard whole size (the premium leather will naturally stretch and yield within a few days to comfortably accommodate the extra sock volume).
• If you wear a half size: Order up to the next nearest whole size (for example, if you wear a size 7.5, order a Size 8).
Caring for Your Moccasins
Respecting your moccasins ensures they remain a loyal companion for decades. Learn how to clean and care for traditional hides.
• For Moosehide & Grain Leather: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth. You can occasionally use a small amount of high-quality saddle soap, but avoid heavy commercial chemical solvents.
• For Suedes: Allow any mud or wet dirt to dry completely first. Then, gently brush clean using a dedicated suede brush to restore the soft, natural nap.
• For Fur & Sheepskin Lining: Gently shake out dust and shake clean. Never apply liquid water or soaps directly to natural wild trims or wool linings.
