moccasined
Wearing soft slippers
Wearing moccasins, the soft leather shoes traditionally made by Indigenous North Americans.
The word appears almost exclusively in literary contexts describing quiet or stealthy movement: moccasined feet padding silently through the forest.
Like many participial adjectives formed from footwear, it emphasizes the quality associated with the shoe—here, soft and noiseless.
