Steger Mukluks
I got the idea this fall to get a pair of mocassin boots. Google led my to Steger Mukluks (mukluks.com) as the likeliest candidate. I ordered their Traditional Short boot in Chestnut & Black, but the wide width was too narrow for my feet, so I sent them back and paid $20 more for the Yukon Jack model, in double-wide. Those fit nicely. They're black moosehide with a Cordura™ upper. Very different feel than my old, stiff boots. So far, I'm liking them. Very flexible with lots of sense of the ground beneath my feet. Toasty warm. Really really like to be in snow. They slip around a little more than Vibram™, but the tread seems sufficient for my uses, and the huge added flexibility is glorious. Here are a couple of snapshots I took after my walk with the dogs today over the snowy logging path near our house. $180 plus $13 for snow-proof water repellent.
