Moon Boot is a women's and men's shoe brand founded in 1969 by Giancarlo Zanatta and headquartered in Giavera del Montello, Italy.
Giancarlo Zanatta got his inspiration from the technology and shape of the antigravity boots worn by the world's great astronauts: Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins. Giancarlo originally made Moon Boots using polyurethane and nylon foam. He started by drawing sketches and designing then created the first original Moon Boot. The name "Moon Boot" was registered in 1978 as a worldwide trademark by Technica.
In the modern-day Moon Boot, the style adopted new technology and material: Moon Boot is made using faux leather and water-resistant nylon shell, trimmed in faux fur with a lining of felt and thermoplastic rubber soles. In 2000, a group of experts and artists from the Louvre Museum concluded that Moon Boot is an icon item of the 20th century.
Moon boot has sold over 25 million pairs since its birth in 1969 to date, with different styles and colours being launched every month. Over the years, there have been collaborations between Moon Boot and big names like Jeremy Scott and MSGM. Moon Boot will remain the market favourite and key innovation in the footwear industry.
