7 unexpectedly chic ways to style Moon Boots
Haven’t you heard? Moon Boots are fashion’s latest musing, having descended the alpine peaks and hit the London streets much to the delight of skiwear fanatics.
Moon boots, inspired by the Apollo moon landing in 1969, emerged in the early 1970s as a bold, space-age fashion statement. Created by Italian company Tecnica, these boots feature a distinct oversized, cushioned design, providing warmth and comfort in cold weather.

Initially designed for après-ski wear, their unique, bulbous look quickly gained popularity beyond the slopes, becoming a symbol of retro-futuristic style. The puffy, lightweight construction, reminiscent of astronaut gear, set moon boots apart from the norm, positioning them an It-girl statement.
Over the decades, they’ve experienced various revivals, courtesy of brands like Dior and Chloé who have offered up a luxury spin on the stand-out kicks.
This season has been a strong one for Moon Boots, with many influencers and editors sporting the cushioned soles to London Fashion Week SS25 back in September. Pink, red and classic black renditions were out in force, ready to reinstate themselves in mainstream fashion.
