Buffalo hides have been used to create moccasins and specialty leather goods for centuries.
Wild herds of bison have long been overseen by Indigenous peoples, whose relationship with nature and animals remains deeply spiritual.

Aboriginal tradition considers the buffalo to be a giving animal, symbolizing respect and sacrifice for its many gifts. Bison were an important resource to Indigenous communities, providing not only meat but fur for blankets, hides for shelter and goods, even bones for tools. It was believed the buffalo gave up its life so that tribes could live; they were hunted carefully and with honor, and no part of the majestic creature would be wasted.
Our appreciation for items made with buffalo hide remains strong today; the leather is recognized as one of the finest, known for its unique appearance and durability.
Laurentian Chief’s Fleece-Lined Moccasin Slippers for men are an example of the exceptional quality, appearance, and craftsmanship of buffalo leather.
These indoor moccasins are classic in design, with hand-stitched vamp and gathered toe. The buffalo hide is a rich, dark tone of chocolate brown, with a highly textured grain, and contrasting rawhide laces. A wild leather like this can sometimes bear the scars of the animal’s life in nature, making its story even more valuable.
Traditional styling meets modern comfort with the fully-lined fleece interior and padded foam insole, designed to keep feet warm, cozy, and cushioned. The soft bottom sole is gentle underfoot and the supple leather conforms to the wearer over time, giving them a very special, personal fit.
Laurentian Chief moccasins are handmade in Quebec, Canada, with passion and great respect for nature, using renewable energy sources and eco-friendly hide and fur production.

December 27, 2025I came online to pick up a new pair of fleece-lined buffalo moccasins but there are no size 10s available. When do you expect to get more in… can you contact me when some are available. It is the only house shoe worth wearing they are so comfortable. the original “zero drop” shoe!

November 23, 2023Why can’t women have practical, warmly lined, smooth outer leather, soft sole moccasin slippers like the bison men’s version? We carry firewood, feed the dogs, dash from house to garage. No foofoo outer fur or fanciness for me…Ineed practical!
