After witnessing the moon landing with the rest of the world back in 1969, Italian bootmaker Giancarlo Zanatta was inspired to create the world’s first “Moon Boot” a year later. And after witnessing a telling of that historic moment in the film First Man, we were inspired to write about it.
Now almost fifty years after its initial debut, the iconic Moon Boot is still going strong as a post-ski favorite at ski resorts the world over. And for good reason. The wildly futuristic, astronaut-inspired design turns heads and conversations everywhere you land (sorry, couldn’t resist), and its extreme affordability comes with extreme practicality to boot! (2 for 2!)
Built with a sturdy nylon shell, lightweight yet high-quality foam insulation, soft textile lining, and convenient, full-length wraparound lacing, the boots offer up all the basics you need to stay warm and dry in the cold weather months. Add that space-age design and unmistakable “Moon Boot” logo and you’ve got a pair of boots that’s sure to lift your winter style game no matter which slope you’re hitting.
