Discount Designer Mukluks
A collection of beautiful
designer and practical mukluks, moccasins, and boots.
Mukluk Facts: Mukluks or
Kamik are a
soft boot that is traditionally made of reindeer skin or sealskin and worn by Arctic
native Americans, including the Inuit and Yupik. The term Mukluk is often used
for any soft boot designed for cold weather and modern designs are often similar
to high-top athletic shoes.
Mukluks weigh little and allow hunters to move very quietly. They may be
adorned with pompons and beads and may be lined with furs such as rabbit and are
comfortably cool in summer and cozy warm in the spring and fall seasons
Modern Mukluks based on the traditional design have become an upmarket
fashion item in the United States and Europe. Notable wearers of mukluks include
supermodel Kate Moss and movie actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Another kind of Mukluk is knitted with a soft leather cole. These are
worn primarily by ballet dancers in place of leg/foot warmers/
Mukluks From the TV show Men in Trees:
Relationship coach Marin Frist (Anne Heche, below) has built a stellar
career out of instructing the loveless with her self-help bestsellers.
Marin thinks her life is great -- she's engaged and soon to begin work
on a fourth book, about her upcoming marriage. But en route to a lecture
in rural Alaska, she discovers her fiance is cheating on her. Suddenly,
this city girl finds herself stranded in the tiny town of Elmo, trading
her Manolos for mukluks and pepper spray for bear spray. Marin wants to
avoid men, but this place seems filled with nothing but. |
