Manitobah Mukluks is a native-owned Canadian manufacturer of footwear rich in the remarkable tradition of their people. The tradition of mukluks springs from native peoples' distinctive relationship with nature in the great land, Canada, where they have thrived in harmony with the seasons, using materials provided by nature. Today, the native people who bring you Manitobah Mukluks build upon a continuous and living culture. They bring the genuine mukluk, an article created with integrity in the knowledge of this footwear's past.
The mukluk was required not to tear the birchbark of the traditional canoe, to withstand travel on the land, to tread quietly while hunting game, and to keep feet warm and dry through the rigorous Canadian seasons. Though today's urban hunter-gatherer may not face these same challenges, Manitobah Mukluks ensures the same quality as when the reliability of the footwear assured success in the hunt, and survival against the elements.
Beyond function, the beautiful mukluk has always been a symbol of prestige. Intricately patterned beadwork, luxurious furs, and pliable strong leather combine to create wearable artifacts of breathtaking beauty and function. With the diversity of the different native nations, comes the variety of artistic expression in adorning the mukluk. Each native nation has distinctive beadwork, leathers, and designs that help define who they are.
