moccasin
Soft indigenous shoe
A moccasin is a soft leather shoe, originally made by North American Indigenous peoples, typically constructed from a single piece of hide with the sole turned up and attached to a U-shaped upper.
The style has been adapted into casual slip-on shoes.
Moccasin also names a venomous North American pit viper, the water moccasin or cottonmouth, which inhabits swamps and waterways of the southeastern United States.
