Manolo says, what better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing than by celebrating one of the most conspicuous technological spin-offs of that landmark?

Thus, the Manolo gives you, The Moon Boot!

Invented in 1971 by the Italian ski-boot manufacturer Technica as the apres-ski footwear, the Moon Boot exactly captures the goofy, can-do, techo-nerd aesthetic of the moon race.

For the comparison’s sake, here, from the NASA website, are the pictures of Neil Armstrong’s actual moon boot!

Of the course, like Tang and Velcro, Moon Boots have become the indispensable part of the popular culture.

“They’re basically moon boots but have better traction and are more aerodynamic. You should probably get a pair.”

Like all fashion trends of the postwar era, moon boots have waxed and waned, with the most recent revival occurring in 2004 when they appeared in the Anna Sui fall runway show. By the next year, designers as different as Marc Jacobs and Christian Dior, were producing their own versions.

Since that point, high fashion snow boots, essentially variations on the Technica Moon Boot theme, have become winter time staples.

Ayyyy! Even Pucci makes the Moon Boots!

Trust the Manolo, if Neil Armstrong had worn these boots in 1969, we would now have the permanent base on the moon, one with the best disco in 500 parsecs, playing nothing but space trance and David Bowie’s greatest hits.
