Some mukluks and natural-soled moccasins are not built on a traditional foot last (the solid form on which most shoes are molded), so there is no "left" or "right" foot. This method has been used on Indigenous footwear for thousands of years. It's completely natural for the shoes to feel slightly "off" or awkward when new, but over time the natural materials will form to your foot and allow you to have a completely custom fit.
Description
When shoes dream of becoming boots...this is what they awake. A streamlined take on the classic mukluk silhouette, the Tamarack ankle boots measure 6" tall and showcase the minimalist genius of ancestral designs. For a fall-filled article featuring these boots visit our blog "Weather or Not". These winter boots are sleek and simple, highlighted by subtle etching that elevates the boot's aesthetic on genuine grain leather, but they are also practical at a modern ankle height. These ladies' boots boast a cozy sheepskin-lined footbed and are sealed against water to a height of four inches from the bottom and rated to -32C. Just slip in and give winter the boot *boot shaft measures 14.5". We carry women's sizes 6-11. They do not come in half sizes; if you wear a half size, order up to the nearest whole size. (8 ½ or size 9).
The AuthenTEC Waterproof System lets you take on winter in style with boots crafted with three layers of waterproof sealant, rich waterproof leather and suede and a full sheepskin footbed that keeps you dry and cozy all day.

Protection: Use a silicone-based leather/suede protector. Do not spray fur, as it contains natural protective oils. We offer a protecting spray as part of our recommended Care Kit.
To Clean: Leather can be cleaned using a gentle soap and soft brush. For salt, wipe down with a damp cloth. Even if they have been sprayed, salt is corrosive and can cause damage.
To Dry: Once wet, allow your footwear to dry naturally.
Wear: Never pull fur when putting on or removing boot, fur sheds over time and frequent friction will cause the fur to shed much faster. Cross laces over before tightening to avoid tearing leather eyeholes.
Storage: When ready to store them for the season you should clean them, allow them to dry and then pack them away in a sealed container away from heat, moisture and pets (a plastic storage tote works great.) You can also use a pool noodle or something similar in the shaft to keep them upright during storage.
