moonboots
Astronaut-inspired winterwear
Moonboots are bulky, padded winter boots with thick insulated linings and chunky soles, designed for warmth in snow and cold weather.
The name comes from their resemblance to the boots worn by Apollo astronauts—puffy, oversized, and vaguely futuristic.
They became a fashion item in the 1970s and have cycled in and out of style since: She clomped through the snow in her moonboots.
