About the brand

Moon Boot is an iconic Italian snow boot brand created in the early 1970s by Giancarlo Zanatta, founder of the Tecnica Group. Inspired by the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, Zanatta was fascinated by the bulky space boots worn by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, leading him to design futuristic-looking après-ski boots. The original Moon Boot featured innovative construction with nylon fabrics and polyurethane foam, offering lightweight thermal protection and an ambidextrous fit that could adapt to different sizes. Initially presented at the 1970 Milan trade fair, Moon Boot became an instant success, selling over 30 million pairs worldwide. The brand has continuously reinvented itself, collaborating with luxury brands like Jimmy Choo and Moncler, and expanding beyond ski slopes to city streets. Today, Moon Boot remains a symbol of retrofuturistic design, with its distinctive silhouette displayed at prestigious institutions including the Louvre and Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Travel + Leisure

These puffy mid-high boots have a true moon boot vibe and toasty insulation that kept our feet feeling comfortably warm—and never hot—in below freezing and indoor temperatures. They handled nine inches of fresh snow like a pro and gave us good traction on partially compacted and melted snow.

A pair of Moon Boots will be the softest things you will ever step foot in. While they may be bulky to pack with you, but if you plan your outfits accordingly, one pair of Moon Boots will be all you need for a trip. Also, after a long day in ski boots or snow boots, there is nothing more comfortable to slip your feet in.

If you're going to be trekking through deep snow, knee-high Moon Boots are the way to go. They're great for keeping snow out and your legs extra warm, which is key if you're dealing with a foot of snow or more. For lighter snow days or just running errands, the shorter styles work just as well and feel a little less bulky.

Thanks to this foam, Moon Boots are extremely and unexpectedly lightweight when you put them on, and the rubber tread soles feature suction pads for maximal grippiness. Yes, suction pads! I still slipped a bit on actual ice but felt mostly quite secure trekking through snow.

Although they were noticeably lacking in arch support, we found the ankle and foot support were fantastic and still gave the boots a good flexibility across different types of ground.

Their substantial design can feel heavier than regular winter boots, so it's a good idea to wear them for short periods initially to get used to them. That said, their warmth, durability, and iconic style make them a standout choice for winter footwear.

If you plan to walk around town in them and/or go skiing a ton. so you'll be using these 50 to 100 times a winter. season I will say you'll be so happy especially if you know how to style them. but if you're someone who's only skiing one to twice a year or drives around town most of the time. or you're a real hiker that needs more technical. issues you'll either waste your money and these will collect dust or you'll be disappointed with the performance.
