Traditional Fit: Manitobah mukluks and natural-soled moccasins are designed without a traditional foot last, meaning there's no designated "left" or "right" foot. This ancient method has been used for thousands of years in Indigenous footwear. Initially, the fit may feel slightly unconventional, but the natural materials will adapt to your foot over time, creating a truly custom fit.

Care Instructions:

• Protection: Use a silicone-based leather/suede protector. Avoid spraying the fur, which contains natural protective oils. A recommended Care Kit includes a protective spray.
• Cleaning: Gently clean leather with soap and a soft brush. For salt stains, wipe with a damp cloth. Despite waterproofing, salt is corrosive and may damage the material.
• Drying: Allow your mukluks to dry naturally if they become wet.
• Wear: Avoid pulling the fur when putting on or removing the boots. Cross laces before tightening to prevent tearing the leather eyeholes.
• Storage: Clean, dry, and store in a sealed container away from heat, moisture, and pets. Use a pool noodle or similar item to maintain the shaft’s shape.

Embrace winter in style and comfort with the Métis Mukluk—where heritage meets functionality.
