Made for Winter

I read somewhere recently that winter is making a comeback this year. My first impression was (naturally): Yikes!

My mind filled with anticipatory thoughts of short, bitterly cold days and long, even colder nights. Freezing rain. Snow shovelling. Icy winds, numbing fingers and toes.

Scraping snow and frost off the windshield of my car. Ugh. But then, my thoughts shifted to memories of winters when I was a kid, and all the beauty and joys of the season. After all, I’m a rural Canadian girl and we Canadians are made for winter.

Making snow angels and snowmen

Skating at the local arena

Trudging through drifts in chunky snow pants

Pine trees as straight as arrows, with frosty branches

Deer foraging in the fields

Icicles on the eaves

Tobogganing in the backyard

Smoke curling up from the chimneys

Snowball fights with siblings and neighbourhood friends

... and then the rosy-cheeked glow of returning to the warmth of home: stamping the snow off my boots, unwrapping all the winter layers, and making a cup of hot chocolate with as many mini marshmallows as my mom would allow. Somewhere between the cold weather realities of adulthood and the nostalgic memories of childhood, there’s a middle ground. It’s the option we have to simply embrace winter, by being as prepared for it as possible.

As Laura Ingalls Wilder once wrote: “Cold is not so cold if you are not afraid of it.” A high quality pair of winter mukluk boots can bring us a little closer to the frozen wonderland we remember, by keeping us warm and protected in the snow. Men’s Carey Mukluks and Women’s Anika Mukluks by Saute-Mouton are specially designed to withstand frosty weather in style and durability.

Handsome and classic, these mukluk boots elevate your winter look without compromising your comfort. Plus, they’re sturdy and durable to wear, with a wasak thermoplastic sole lending stability in both urban settings and rural terrain. These mukluks are perfect for reclaiming the joys of winter, whether it’s taking a snowy nature walk, building an igloo with the kids, or even snow shovelling.

The exterior of the Carey and Anika mukluks is crafted with peanut-toned fine leather, and accented with steel and leather lacing details from vamp to boot shaft. Inside, the interior and footbed are wool-lined for insulation, combining with outer sealed seams to keep feet cozy and dry. Saute-Mouton footwear is 100% Canadian-made, from the design work, to cutting and sewing the leathers, to assembling the boots and soles. Based in Québec, the company’s motto is «Fabriqué ici!» (“Made here!”) so you know these mukluks are built to weather a Canadian winter. Note: Leather mukluks should be treated with a waterproofing spray for additional maintenance and protection. When properly cared for, an excellent pair of mukluk boots like these may be worn for many years.

Don’t just endure winter... enjoy it! The Carey and Anika mukluks by Saute-Mouton can be ordered online for fast and convenient delivery.
