“Steger Moosehide Mukluks are twice as warm and less than half the weight of traditional winter boots. They are made in the Northern Cree Indian style and have durable, flexible, treaded rubber soles. We use the best moosehides available, which means that your mukluks will remain supple and flexible through the years. With each pair you receive the best wool felt liners and insoles we can provide. Flexibility, breathability and insulation are the keys to warm feet. One pound 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.Steger Mukluks and Moccasins are made entirely in Ely, Minnesota. We made the decision long ago to keep our money in this country and support American workers. We hope you will too. Designed for major expeditions, Steger’s Arctic Mukluks are the favorite of many world-class cold weather explorers and mushers. Arctics are available in wide and double-wide. Order a wider size and add more insulation for “the big chill.” The tops are cut from 10 ounce tight weave, weather treated 100% cotton canvas,” Patti Steger.
