Polo Moccasins
The moccasin derives from theAlgonquian language Powhatan word makasin (cognate to Massachusett mohkisson / mokussin, Ojibwa makizin, Mi'kmaq mksɨn), and from theProto-Algonquian word maxkeseni (shoe).Moccasins protect the foot while allowing the wearer to feel the ground. The Plains Indians wore hard-sole moccasins, given that their territorial geography featured rock and cacti. The eastern Indian tribes wore soft-sole moccasins, for walking in leaf-covered forest ground. Moccasins are usually all brown, the same color.The word moccasin can also denote a shoe of deer leather adorned with laces; recently, the moccasin shoe has resurged as a popular form of slipper shoe for men.
