Whether you're hiking across town or up the nearest trail, our Waterproof Half Mukluk will keep you warm and dry all winter long. Made of carefully selected cowhide suede trimmed with high-quality rabbit fur, she is based on our most iconic mukluk silhouette—but with the versatility of a shorter boot. Like all our Waterproof mukluks she boasts a cozy sheepskin-lined footbed and complete waterproofing to a height of 4 inches from the bottom. That's why you'll reach for this beauty—rated to -32C—all winter long.
Some of our mukluks and natural-soled moccasins are not built on a traditional foot last (the solid form on which most shoes are molded), so there is no "left" or "right" sole. This method has been used on Indigenous footwear for thousands of years. It's completely natural for the shoes to feel slightly "off" or awkward when new, but over time the natural materials will form to your foot and allow you to have a completely custom fit.
Perfect For Slush.
The AuthenTEC Waterproof System lets you take on winter in style with boots crafted with three layers of waterproof sealant, rich waterproof leather and suede and a full sheepskin footbed that keeps you dry and cozy all day.
Manitobah conducts rigorous waterproof and temperature testing using a minimum 50,000 flex standard.
Protection
Use a silicone-based leather/suede protector. Do not spray fur, as it contains natural protective oils. We offer a protecting spray as part of our recommended Care Kit.
To Clean
Leather can be cleaned using a gentle soap and soft brush. For salt, wipe down with a damp cloth. Even if they have been sprayed, salt is corrosive and can cause damage.
To Dry
Once wet, allow your footwear to dry naturally.
Wear
Never pull fur when putting on or removing boot, fur sheds over time and frequent friction will cause the fur to shed much faster. Cross laces over before tightening to avoid tearing leather eyeholes.
Storage
When ready to store them for the season you should clean them, allow them to dry and then pack them away in a sealed container away from heat, moisture and pets (a plastic storage tote works great.) You can also use a pool noodle or something similar in the shaft to keep them upright during storage.
