Moccasin Shoes by Frumps

Strength, Durability, and an American Legacy

In the Navajo tradition we'd like to say Y·'·t'ÈÈhóhelloó and welcome to our website. We are Frumps, and we've been selling hand-sewn moccasin shoes since 1979. Our website is Frumps.com, where we keep the spirit of the Native American tradition alive by selling hand-sewn moccasin shoes that embody the essence of the Native American culture. Browse our site, and you'll see that we pay tribute to the strength and legacy of Native Americans by designing moccasin shoes that honor the heritage of tribal footwear and provide durable, everyday comfort for today's wearers.

For Native Americans, moccasin shoes were more than stylish footwear. They were symbols of acceptance and protection. A woman's ability to make good quality moccasin shoes was vital to her self-image. It was also important to her pride. It took up to three weeks to tan the hides used for moccasin shoes, sometimes longer to get the desired softness. Moccasin makers beaded identical designs for matching moccasin shoes but to honor the Creator, they altered the number of beads or colors slightly to symbolize human imperfection. Perfect moccasin shoes, they believed, implied that they were better than their Creator.

Before men went to war, women made moccasin shoes for the warriors. If the women did not make the moccasins, the men did not go to war. Only new moccasin shoes were worn for battle because they were symbolic of a safe return home. When warriors were killed, new moccasin shoes provided a safe transition into the afterlife. Burial moccasins were often decorated on the bottom. Good quality moccasin shoes at the time of burial demonstrated family love for the deceased.

Frumps has been an American tradition since 1946, and our moccasin shoes are a tribute to the strength, pride, and legacy of the original moccasin makers. Customers value the quality of our footwear, and that's why we're still around 60 years later. We carry a huge selection of moccasin shoes for every occasion for every member of the family.

Our Philosophy is not to set trends, but to occasionally drop out of the day-to-day hassle, take the weekend, relax in comfortable clothing and a pair of soft moccasins, read a good book, watch a neat movie, look at and enjoy nature and other beautiful things and wind down in preparation for the week to come. Despite our name, we only offer quality products, at a reasonable price for all to enjoy. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
