Choosing the Right Mukluks

Every Girl has a thing of furry, comfy, beautiful boots. And Mukluks boots also become very popular right now. They are so easy to wear and so warm for winter snow days. Admittedly, I’ve got a few pairs. Aboriginal-owned and proudly Canadian, heritage story began thousands of years ago. In addition to its history, craftsmanship, and the quality of their boots, I’ve just simply fallen in love with the style and comfort of them.

Along the way we’ve learned a few things about staying warm! The Vibram sole will provide all the durability you need for a modern urban landscape, and the cowhide suede, rabbit fur and sheepskin footbed (sourced as responsibly as bi-product of the meat industry) will keep your feet warm and toasty, even in -30C weather.

 








Mukluks are not considered waterproof, but the grain leather is a less porous option than suede. Still not a rubber boot, but way warmer than any synthetic insulator. If the fur does get wet, recommendation is to dry them thoroughly and spot clean. The vibram sole is especially great for those who live in the city since they can withstand urban environments where salt and sleet are prominent. A pair of rubber boots are recommended for wetter days above -5C, but if you need warmth and extreme comfort below -5C, these mukluks are perfect.

 

Our friends to the east have short, fierce winters. With a good amount of snow and temperatures that reach down to -20, Snowy Owl Mukluk is recommended. These mukluks are also made of cowhide suede, meaning they are porous so your feet are able to breathe.

The wrap style of mukluk has been passed down for generations and features rabbit fur wrapped around the leg. It is impossible for your snow to enter at the top, and will give you the support you need to endure even the coldest winter weather.
