I was taught that mocs or dress shoes were the proper footwear, but these days most everybodys wearing boots. I prefer mocs.

HELLO WARDANCER:

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH WARDANCER, I WAS TAUGHT THAT THE PROPER FOOT WEAR IS THE MOCS.

I was taught that mocs are the footwear to be used. Of course
if you're at a powwow then you're probably going to see anything
short of going barefoot.

Call me ole fashioned but I prefer dusters, even if I am wereing street clothes.

Mocs or dress shoes. Cowboy boots are okay as well as long as you don't appear to just come in from the pasture.

Around here, church attire -- dress pants, nice long sleeve shirt, tie or bolo. That's what I've been told is proper.

i would personally agree that the moccs look best!

I agree that we should dress as nicely as we can.
Dress slacks, nice shirt(PRFERABLY A LONGSLEEVE SHIRT), (boots or dress shoes have been tolerated).
This includes the sash, bandalier, fan, and guord/rattle.

The mocs are still the attire of preference.

I have two more cents to add. If you're supposed to dance in a traditional manner when Gourd Dancing, why would you anything but mocs?

Before she passed away, my grandmother urged me to always wear moccasins when I dance.

I'm gonna answer that I consider "...more proper foot attire.." to be moccasins. 'cause otherwise my grandma will thump me.
