Moon boots
Lunar boots - this is how the people called a special model of winter shoes. The appearance of these boots is close to the shoes that were on the feet of American astronauts during their movement on the lunar surface. The moon boots were created by the Italian designer Giancarlo Zanatta, inspired precisely by watching a video about the landing of a man on the moon. The Moon Boot brand appeared in the early 70s, and is still very popular today, and moon boot by Tecnica boots are valued for their ability to keep warm at low temperatures and other qualities that are no less useful for winter conditions.

Differences from dutik
People who are not familiar with the intricacies of making branded moon boots may think that this is one of the varieties of dutik familiar to everyone since the 80s, but this opinion is erroneous.
Let's explain how the dutik differ from the Tecnica Moon Boot lunar rovers:
- The fundamental difference here is in the quality and properties of the materials used, which provide the "lunar rovers" with water resistance and all the features listed above. That is why dutik are not as comfortable and all-weather footwear as real moon boots can be called.
- Quilts do not have an insole that adapts to the features of the foot and has shock-absorbing properties; they do not have a unique membrane between the inner insulation and the outer part of the boot. Such a membrane protects the foot from getting wet, preventing water from penetrating into the boot, and at the same time, it is able to drain out the moisture that is released with sweat. Insulation sock in moonboots takes shape along the leg, creating special comfort, which is not present in dutikas.The right and left boots become so already in the process of wearing, initially there are no differences between two boots of the same pair.
- The outer cover of the moon boots is made of a special material called Cordura, a dense, water-repellent nylon-based material. These are the main, but far from all, differences between moonbuts and dutik.
