These boots are the best choice for walking on a snow, it’s a pity we still don’t have snow here in Europe. The name of this amusing footwear is Moonboots, for the first time were seen on American astronauts in 1969, during the Apollo 11 flight to the Moon. Of course, Moonboots were little different that time: the sole consisted of plastic, the top part too, but inside they have been warmed with special cotton wool. Those first Moonboots were created by Italian designer Giancarlo Zanatta.

Here the photo of one of Apollo astronauts, please take a look on his footwear:

It is actually illegal to wear Moonboots without written approval from NASA, – joking dailyorange.com.

For sale Moonboots were created in the early 1970’s by footwear manufacturer Tecnica, but this company is not the only one creating such a boots. From the last Winter Moonboots are on the top again, Dior, Pucci (images 3, 5), Ugg Boots created their own variants. The real Moonboots constructed with a thin rubber outsole and cellular rubber midsole. The boot is sized small, medium, large, etc. and has no left and no right.
