Moon Boot: the après-ski boot that walked in Apollo 11's footsteps
Step into the world of the Moon Boot, the iconic Italian boot inspired by humanity's first steps on the Moon. Created by Tecnica in 1970, it transcended its après-ski function to become a pop culture object, worn from Wyoming to Studio 54, from Alpine ski resorts to Chanel runways. MTHOR Shop curates the most coveted Moon Boot versions for you: silhouettes authenticated by our team of experts, shipped sealed and delivered worldwide.
The story of an icon: from Tecnica to style conquest
The Moon Boot story begins on July 21, 1969, when Neil Armstrong sets foot on the Moon. Stunned by this historic moment, the Italian industrialist Giancarlo Zanatta, founder of Tecnica, has a revelation: transposing the silhouette of astronaut boots into an après-ski shoe. In 1970, the first Moon Boot is born in the Tecnica factory in Trevignano, Veneto. Its egg-shaped silhouette, vivid colors and ambidextrous design (same boot for both feet) shake up the codes.
Very quickly, the Moon Boot transcends its technical shoe status. Adopted by jet-setters in upscale resorts, it enters the pop culture of the 70s and 80s. The Louvre Museum lists it in 2000 among the 100 most significant design objects of the 20th century. Today, under Tecnica Group's artistic direction, the Moon Boot multiplies prestigious collaborations: Chanel, Palm Angels, Off-White, MSGM, Maison Marni.
A unique technology: how does the Moon Boot work?
The Moon Boot relies on a unique patented construction. The upper is made of water-resistant nylon, lined with thermal insulation in synthetic foam several centimeters thick. The TR (thermoplastic) sole offers excellent grip on snow and ice, while the adjustable buckle lacing system ensures perfect calf hold without compression.
Three clear benefits: warmth guaranteed down to -30°C thanks to the integral insulation, total waterproofing of the upper and welded seams, and surprising lightness that contrasts with its imposing volume.

Moon Boots come in grouped sizes (35-38, 39-41, 42-44, 45-47). The brand recommends taking the size group corresponding to your usual size. The model is ambidextrous (same boot for both feet) and runs wide to allow wear with a thick ski sock.
