The design of Moon Boot has a heritage rooted since 1969, the year Giancarlo Zanatta saw the Moon landing and, having been inspired by the astronaut’s footwear, founded what would later become Tecnica Group from his father’s shoe factory. From a vocation dedicated to the world of sportswear, Moon Boot has succeeded in creating an instantly recognizable and strongly identifiable footwear model. The shape of the sole and the trademark lacing have given Moon Boot the status of the ultimate winter boot, making it a one-of-a-kind type of footwear.

From the very beginning the brand has sought cutting-edge design forms and techniques that pay homage to the brand's heritage. Over time Moon Boot has become increasingly bold and playful, reinterpreting its hero product, the Icon, as well as offering a series of editions in different colors and materials, along with new and contemporary designs. Whether in the mountains, in the snow, or on city sidewalks, the different Moon Boot models will adapt to any environment.

Through an ongoing process of stylistic changes and evolutions, Moon Boot has made its mark as part of Italian product design, eventually being displayed at the Louvre among the 100 symbols of the 20th-century design, and today is part of the permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Milan Triennale. 

We suggest following these steps for your Moon Boot products. 

STEP 1: Use a soft, dry brush to remove dirt. For products with natural cow suede and/or shearling uppers, a medium bristle or suede brush is recommended.

STEP 2: Use a soft, damp cloth, mild detergent or shampoo and water to remove marks. Do not soak. Blot excess moisture with a towel. In case of products with natural cow suede uppers, repeat STEP 1 after washing.

STEP 3: Use a soft brush, mild detergent and water to brush the mid sole and outsole.

STEP 4: Allow to dry at room temperature.

STEP 5: Store them in their original bag, or any kind of cover that will protect them.

STEP 6: Look forward to wearing them again next time!

Please note that the Icon’s laces are for aesthetic purposes only and should not be tightened.
