moon boot
Puffy winter footwear
A moon boot is a bulky, padded winter boot with a thick sole and quilted upper, designed for warmth rather than style.
The name evokes the footwear worn by Apollo astronauts—puffy, oversized, otherworldly.
Originally a brand name from the 1970s, it now refers generically to this style: She clomped through the snow in her moon boots.
In medical contexts, a moon boot is a rigid plastic boot immobilizing an injured foot or ankle.
