My Mukluks have arrived

And I have them on my feet after... about an hour or more of struggle. THe moosehide will stretch to my feet and it has rather... the real problem has been trying to figure out if there is a left and right boot or if they are identical.

Literally put them on each foot and switched em around and walked around (keep in mind these are boots and it takes some effort to pull a boot on and off). Pulling out the felt liners to try and see if THEY gave a hint to right and left boot. I've decided that you just have to choose and go with it (they have a 'steger mukluks' label sewed on either the inside or the outside depending on which way you wear them).

They're big moosehide moccasins with like a rubberized sole. I can see how they are not slippery and apparently they are even better traction in the cold. Oh - the muks came with a card to explain how to tie them.

OH - and I wore my yaktrax today too... on the way from the parking lot to the building. They are AWESOME on the snow and ice. It's like having sneakers for ice and snow that grip like sneakers on cement.

My guess is that the labels are supposed to be on the inside. T

Turns out it's a DESIGN feature... they can be worn either way so at the end of the season you switch and get more wear out of them
