Lunokhod Boots

Lunokhod boots - this is what the people nicknamed a special model of winter shoes. The appearance of these boots is close to the shoes that were on the feet of American astronauts during their movement on the lunar surface. The Italian designer Giancarlo Zanatta created the boots of the Lunokhod, inspired by watching the video about the landing of the man on the moon. The Moon Boot brand appeared in the early 70s, and is still very popular to this day, and moon boots by Tecnica are appreciated for their ability to keep warm at low temperatures and other qualities equally useful for winter conditions.

Although the boots-moon rovers are not designed for space walks, they become indispensable for staying in the fresh air in the cold season. From other winter shoes, moon rovers, or moonboots (Moon Boot brand), are distinguished by the following:

• water resistance of the external surface; in such shoes you will never wet your feet;
• the inner layer of the moonboots does not retain moisture in itself, so the legs will not sweat either;
• Moonboots have a bulky appearance, but their “filling” (a special toe-insulator and insole) takes into account the anatomical features of the foot, adjusting to its shape, and has shock-absorbing properties. These shoes give a feeling of comfort;

• shoes keep heat well. Moonboots are designed for frosts up to −35 degrees Celsius;
• Lunokhod boots are made of ultralight synthetic materials.

For all its practicality, the “moon rovers” (Tecnica Moon Boot) have an original, “cosmic” appearance and some more characteristic features:

• in a pair there is no boot on the left or on the right foot, each boot is universal;
• a small size range, because one size of the munbut is suitable for three standard ones, for this reason such boots can be bought remotely without fear of making a mistake with the size;
• shoes have lacing, which is threaded through metal elements of a triangular shape.

Currently, many ladies who lead an active lifestyle, thinking about buying shoes for the winter, choose moonboots for themselves, although the Moon Boot brand does not have specifically female winter models: these shoes are suitable for both men and women. The choice is made, focusing on the color, size and appearance of the shoes. Black Tecnica Moon Boots are considered the most versatile option.

Moon Boot also has children's models: for a girl or a boy, you can buy such shoes by reading its color and size. A large selection of different colors allows you to choose "moon rovers" for almost any winter clothing of the appropriate style.

The model “moon boots” is currently presented in the collections of other brands that present their variations of shoes on the “cosmic theme”. We see moon rovers in various, sometimes completely different from their prototype incarnations. Dior's moon boots are on sale, and Chiara Ferragni Flirting moon rovers are made of patent leather and fur.

Due to the large number of models and brands presented on the market today, you can choose “moon boots” for any winter wardrobe: to a sweater, jacket, coat, short fur coat or sheepskin coat.

People note that in these shoes it is really very warm even in severe frosts, and underneath it is enough to put on just a thin sock, the moonboots are great for outdoor activities.

The insole takes the form of a foot, which gives a feeling of indescribable comfort, and the sole does not slip, providing stability and allowing you to feel confident even in icy conditions. And users also write that “space” shoes do not get wet either from the inside or from the outside, they guarantee dry feet both in slush and in a warm room.

People who are not familiar with the intricacies of making branded Lunokhod boots can consider this to be one of the varieties of dutiks familiar to everyone since the 80s, but this opinion is erroneous.

Let us explain how the dutiks differ from the Tecnica Moon Boot lunar rovers:

• The fundamental difference here is in the quality and properties of the materials used, which provide the “Lunokhods” with waterproofness and all the features listed above. That is why the Dutiks are not so comfortable and all-weather shoes, which can be called real boots, moon rovers.

• Dutiks do not have an insole that adapts to the features of the foot and has shock absorbing properties; they do not have a unique membrane between the inner insulation and the outer part of the boot. Such a membrane protects the foot from getting wet, not allowing water to penetrate inside the boot, and at the same time it is able to remove the moisture that is released with sweat. Insulation sock in munbut takes the form of a foot, creating a special convenience, which is not in the dutik.The right and left boots become such already in the process of wearing, initially there are no differences between the two boots of the same pair.

• The outer coating of the Lunokhod boots is made of a special material called cordura - a dense water-repellent material based on nylon. These are the main, but not all, differences between moonboots and dutiks.
