Some mukluks and natural-soled moccasins are not built on a traditional foot last (the solid form on which most shoes are molded), so there is no "left" or "right" foot. This method has been used on Indigenous footwear for thousands of years. It's completely natural for the shoes to feel slightly "off" or awkward when new, but over time the natural materials will form to your foot and allow you to have a completely custom fit.
Description
The stunning Snowy Owl soars through winter, never sacrificing grace for practicality. Like her namesake, these waterproof Snowy Owl mukluks are ideally adapted to Canada's frigid winters, boasting a cozy sheepskin footbed and complete waterproofing to a height of four inches from the bottom. That's why you'll reach for this beauty—rated to -32C—all winter long. We hope you'll take a moment to enjoy our blog featuring these winter boots, "The Snowy Owl". At mid-calf height (13.5" tall), it is uniquely customizable; the circumference of the boot shaft can expand up to 21.5" to accommodate tucked-in pants, thick socks, or a wider calf size. Other features include artisan beadwork on the front and vamp and real rabbit fur around the shaft and on the pom pom laces. Perfect for slush, the AuthenTEC Waterproof System lets you take on winter in serious style with boots crafted from three layers of waterproof sealant and luxurious waterproof suede. We carry women's sizes 6-10. They do not come in half sizes; if you wear a half size, order up to the nearest whole size. (8 ½ or size 9).
Protection: Use a silicone-based leather/suede protector. Do not spray fur, as it contains natural protective oils. We offer a protecting spray as part of our recommended Care Kit.
To Clean: Leather can be cleaned using a gentle soap and soft brush. For salt, wipe down with a damp cloth. Even if they have been sprayed, salt is corrosive and can cause damage.
To Dry: Once wet, allow your footwear to dry naturally.
Wear: Never pull fur when putting on or removing boot, fur sheds over time and frequent friction will cause the fur to shed much faster. Cross laces over before tightening to avoid tearing leather eyeholes.
Storage: When ready to store them for the season you should clean them, allow them to dry and then pack them away in a sealed container away from heat, moisture and pets (a plastic storage tote works great.) You can also use a pool noodle or something similar in the shaft to keep them upright during storage.
