the vamp is the red part. you could call it the tongue. they call them pucker vamps cuz where the vamp meets at the toes they pucker up when you sew them together. mine aren't as noticeable cuz of the red cloth i sewed on top of the buckskin vamp. could you imagine calling them pucker tongue mocs thats fuuny to me. i don't know fer sure, maybe beaudro could chime in and give more details, but i think the original pucker vamps, had cloth vamps only, maybe thats why they pucker better. mine has a buckskin vamp and i sew the red cloth to that . they were also called kootanee, chippewa, and red river style. i believe pucker vamp is a modern term. i like to call them my pucker up mocs

I don't know if I could add anything to your post or not Billy. I'm pretty sure the names pucker toe, and vamp are modern words to describe them, and they have been called many other names. My first ones were made terrible until you sent me that pattern, thanks again! Anymore most all mocs are broken down into three categories, at least for most reenactors. The centerseam , the side fold, and these pucker vamps. Then there is different versions of each of these. Native tech had a pretty good map of different styles of mocs and the regions that are known for them. If you decide to make these pucker toe mocs it really helps to use the pattern , i attempted several without any instruction, i still got a pile of scrap braintan left over. It's simple, but a person would have never thought of how they are cut out.
