Moon Boot

Moon Boot at a glance

• Founded: 1969, the year Giancarlo Zanatta founded the Tecnica Group from his father Oreste’s shoe factory. Moon Boot is a division of Tecnica Group, based in Giavera del Montello near Treviso, Italy.
• The idea: a snow boot with no left and right foot, shaped after the boots of the 1969 Moon landing and first made as après-ski wear in the early 1970s.
• Recognition: the house says the Icon was shown at the Louvre among 100 symbols of 20th-century design and is held at MoMA in New York and the Milan Triennale.
• The lines: Icon, Icon Low, EVX, LTrack, Combat, Mezzaluna, Moon247 and Moonlight sneakers, slippers, ballerinas and the Super Sandal.
• Sizing: the Icon family and EVX mules come in multisize EU ranges and the house recommends sizing up (an EU 38 takes 39 to 41); Moon247 and Mezzaluna fit large; slippers and combat boots fit true to size.
• Made in: each pair lists its own factory country: China, Vietnam, Romania, Albania and Hungary across the current range.

Caring for Moon Boots

The house recommends brushing off dirt with a soft dry brush and lifting marks with a soft damp cloth, mild detergent and water, then letting the boots dry at room temperature. Suede and shearling pairs should never be immersed. Our guide to cleaning Moon Boots goes material by material.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes Moon Boot?

Moon Boot is a division of Tecnica Group S.p.A., an Italian footwear company based in Giavera del Montello near Treviso. Giancarlo Zanatta founded the group in 1969 from his father Oreste’s shoe factory, and that year he had the idea for the first ambidextrous snow boot, the Moon Boot Icon.

Do Moon Boots run big?

It depends on the line. The Icon family and EVX mules come in multisize ranges, and the house recommends sizing up: an EU 38 takes 39 to 41. Moon247 sneakers and Mezzaluna boots fit large, so the house suggests a half size down. Slippers, combat boots and ballerinas fit true to size.

Are Moon Boots waterproof?

The nylon Icon and Icon Low are described by the house as water-repellent and snow-proof, which suits snow and après-ski. The nylon Combat boots and the LTrack Low boots are listed as waterproof. Suede and shearling pairs should be kept away from soaking and cleaned with a brush.
