As we get revved up year after year to dive into winter wonderland, the notion of the ‘winter boot’ is so ingrained into our culture, it has literally morphed from something to be given as a seasonal gift, into an all round fashion ‘given’. The entire world is practically slugging around rain or shine, business or casual, with their furry BFFs (aka UGGs). We’ve all loved them, we’ve all had them, and let’s be honest- we’ve all had enough of them and can’t WAIT for the day that an alternative to the UGG Boot comes along...and we think it has.
SkiResorts.com has decided to remove the crown off the forever reigning UGG Boot and place it atop their pick for this season's must-have boots: the "Tecumseh (Teh-come-see) Mukluks". Named after First Nations hero, Chief Tecumseh, and with Native American and First Nations Canadian inspired designs and philosophy, honoring culture, nature and best practices in creating low impact and environmentally sustainable boots, the style-on-fire footwear are hot for cool weather. Originally crafted hundreds of years ago for extreme winter weather, you can count on them to keep you warm. Complete with hand-sewn glass bead-work of Navajo design, this beautiful native “Mukluk” style has officially been revived, and those who get their hands on them are striding powerfully, fashionably and with less environmental impact.
What started as a small business with good intentions and a desire to honor the Native American and Canadian traditions, has now grown into a company who’s phones won't stop ringing. Celebs are having their people call Canada’s people, and are placing orders in upwards of ten pairs at a time. Film sets, actors, musicians, travelers and the fashion-forward have been using the boots for both aesthetic and functional purposes (worn in 6 continents and have been travel-tested in subzero and arctic temperatures.) Rachel McAdams thought the Tecumseh Moccasin shoes would make a lovely gift for an assistant, Tyra Banks can’t get enough of her “Choco” and “Rimrock” Mukluk boots and was wearing them through the winter. She even took them to France while they filmed the rest of Top Model. Anette Olzon of European sensation “Nightwish” had a custom pair made for herself, Karin Axelsson of Swedish Metal band "Sonic Syndicate" has taken the boots on tour, and yes, even Disney has warmed up to them, ordering multiple pairs for their movie “Snow 2: Brain Freeze”.
Yet despite their growing popularity and competing in a world of mass production, Tecumseh is committed to high quality materials and workmanship. Made in Canada out of Genuine Canadian Suede and grade A rabbit fur, authentic Tecumseh boots are lined with 100% natural wool, are double stitched with hand-sewn detailing, and have a thick natural gum sole, which absorbs shock and adds comfort. They will last you for years to come.
So whether they are for yourself or a loved one this holiday season (they have a great variety of colors & styles), make sure to get them early to receive 10% off - exclusive to SkiResorts.com readers! I particularly love the Concho Boots. The moccasin style makes them suitable for everyday wear. They also have infant sizes and cozy mittens.
