Joe Reddington is the "Father of the Iditarod Race." In 1992, he asked me if I would produce his style of mukluk. I said yea, of course. Considering that Joe has lived in Alaska for about 50 years, I knew anything he used to keep warm would work. The primary improvement was the insulation, Lamilite. The end result is the warmest over-boot in the world. Thus far, not one pack-boot that I've seen, used, or heard of, performs at temperatures of -30 degrees Farenheit for very long. Using the JR mukluk over any insulated boot will keep your feet warm for hours, if otherwise proporly dressed, at a temperature of -50 degrees F and colder. The exterior fabric is waterproofed. The insulation is L-12, the same as we use in our parka. The sole consists of a 3/8" close cell foam between two layers of the Cordura, with a rubber gripper sole. They are excellent for running dogs when mushing, ice fishing, sitting in a deer stand or duck blind. If a job requires wearing steel-toed shoes in extreme cold conditions, those shoes can be dangerous to your feet. The mukluks will keep the steel from getting cold. The steel will remain the same temperature as your feet. They are 18 1/2" high, weigh 1.750 pounds per boot in the large size. They can also be laundered.
Many Of Our Dog Sledding Friends Have Found That The Mukluks Work Great Even When Wearing Tennis Shoes Inside Of Them!
