Hello,
In case anyone is interested, I make lace up moccasins that have a very thin sole and a very wide toe-box for wearing in situations where you would prefer to have something on your feet and don't want to scrunch your toes nor walk un-ergonomically.
Locally in the Bay Area, California, I measure people's feet and make a pair that fits them exactly. However, I also have one pair listed on eBay right now for your viewing pleasure:

Cosmetically, they are ok. Comfort-wise they are excellent. I place the priority absolutely on comfort and sacrifice cosmetics a little. The way that these hug your foot while allowing full motion, make these quite pleasant to wear.
While I used to make these with a thicker 8 oz leather sole, I found that the thicker sole being stiffer and thicker compromised ergonomics, so I started making pairs with a thinner sole, so you will definitely feel the ground when walking. These soles can easily be replaced because the uppers are attached to the sole along a single stitch line.
Feel free to take a look and contact me if you have any questions.
