Almost three years ago, the Filomena storm that turned the streets of Madrid white made the influencers agree with the choice of their footwear. Laura Escanes and Paula Echevarría were some of the It girls who recovered the Moon Boots to walk around the capital with greater comfort and without fear of the snow.
It was in 1969 when the Italian Giancarlo Zanatta created this design inspired by the thick-soled footwear worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The shoemaker was fascinated with the technology that had been used to make these boots of the professionals who participated in this mission. space, creating a model that was successful in the 70s and even had an exhibition at the Louvre Museum in 2000.
Now, Zara has included its own version of the Moon Boots in the ski collection it has just put on sale. Inditex’s flagship has created a line that has jumpsuits and garments designed for practicing this sport, as well as various types of footwear for being in the snow.
One of his articles is very reminiscent of the mythical boots. It is a boot-type shoe that has a padded body, reinforcements on the toe, sides and heel, a non-slip sole and closure with adjustable laces. A shoe that costs 79.95 euros, a much more affordable amount than the original design, which can cost 185 to 225 euros.
The resemblance to the Moon Boots has caused the boots to sell out in the blink of an eye. There are very few units of number 37 left and the rest can no longer be purchased. The good news is that Zara has announced that they will be back on sale soon.
