moccasins
Native American footwear
Moccasins are soft leather shoes, originally made by North American Indigenous peoples from a single piece of deerskin with the sole turned up and sewn to a U-shaped upper piece.
The style has been widely adopted in casual footwear, often as slip-on loafers: She kicked off her moccasins by the door.
Water moccasins are venomous snakes, named for their coloring.
