Rich in Chicago, an avid collector of native-made snowshoes, wanted mukluks for snowshoeing. This pair is made of brain-tanned and smoked moosehide prepared by a Dene lady in northern Saskatchewan. They have canvas tops with braid and double soles. Here's what Rich says about his mukluks. | |
Mukluk # 41
I finally got around to making myself a pair of snowshoe mukluks and I really can't tell you how nice they are to snowshoe in. They have brain-tanned smoked moosehide bottoms, canvas tops, thick duffle liners, felt insoles, braid for decoration and wool ties. I tend to get cold feet outside but these mukluks are so warm and comfy they feel like clouds on my feet. Wearing them outside in the snow feels like I am barefoot because they are so light and have soft soles. At the same time my feet are cozy and warm. I also wear them inside the house too. Because they are made of natural breathable materials they are not too warm even inside the house. You can see a picture of me snowshoeing on a cold day. | |
