The boots have been worn by numerous expeditions from the North Pole to the South Pole, and on the Iditarod Race Trail in Alaska. They have appeared in the movies Iron Will and Grumpy Old Men, were regularly seen in Northern Exposure and used in fashion shoots by Elle and Mademoiselle Magazines.

So are they that good!? Steger Moosehide Mukluks are twice as warm and less that half the weight of traditional winter boots. They are made in the northern Cree Indian style and have durable, flexible, treaded rubber soles. Through out our expeditions the mukluks have remained supple and flexible even after years (and thousands of miles) -- which supports the Steger statement of only using the best moosehide available!

With each pair you receive the great wool felt liners and insoles -- You can also choose a fleece liner at an additional price which gives less support, but is very soft.

They are not waterproof. When on expeditions in the high Arctic it is really not a concern as the snow is very dry, leaving the mukluks perfect unless you had a really bad day where you fell through. It is possible to waterproof to a very large degree though with the various water repellents. But, remember that when you close up the pores on the outside you also make the boot less able to breathe, meaning your sweat will have a tougher time escaping...causing cold feet!

The Steger motto is: Flexibility, breathability and insulation are the keys to warm feet. 1 lb. of weight on your foot is equal to 5 lbs. on your lower back. Heavier does not mean warmer, it means aching legs and back. A statement we can only support 100 %.
