So I thought I'd try my hand at mukluks finally after all these years of sewing. I've had lots of people ask me if I make them. Here's an almost finished one, still planning on putting some leather around the top and haven't decided what to do with the sole or what type of lining yet.

Looks very nice and warm

Thank you

Your Welcome . Ya got any idea what ya might charge for a pair of the Mukluks yet ??

I'm thinking $500+ depending on the fur. They really are a lot of work, AND a lot of material! I think I've found some sole material that I'll be able to purchase too.

I did some searching online and the cheap rabbit ones are $300, saw some wolf ones for $1200...lol

HA! I'm a size 14 so it would be A LOT of material....what kind of fur is that?

Ya but being done one pair at a time is always worth more thne getting a pair from a factory . I bet they are real warm and fairly waterproof also .

SDAhunt, this is buffalo. i don't know as there's a lot of difference between a 10 and a 14, probably just a few inches...LOL

Skykeeper, that's a very good point. From my understanding, SOME Alaskan mukluks aren't made for being waterproof, but for use in dry snow. I'm sure the coastal natives use seal for the more waterproof ones.

I think it would be cool to have a pair made out of Wolf hides myself . Bet those would be very warm but expensive lol

Well it depends, I can look into craft wolf hides, they don't have the feet, sometimes no tail and can cost less

That would be cool Wolfwoman . Thank you . Wouldn't really on want the feet or tails on Mukluks now would ya LOL ?

Heehee! Not particularly !!

Good to see ya think like me and got a sense of humor also Wolfwoman lol

Ok, can get a wolf for $200 shipped to me. I'll also need to look into felt liners, cost and shipping, unless you want to get/choose your own? My sewing fee is $175 to make them.

Wow that was quick on finding the wolf hide Wolfwoman . would the felt liners be better then say wool type liners ??

I have a couple places I buy from

They are felted wool, usually about 70-75% wool.

Cool Wolfwoman .

So, does that mean you want a pair? ;-)

I am very interested in a pair or two yes Wolfwoman . Money is a bit tight right now after christmas and such . But Trust me I will contact you when I have the money to get a pair or two of them from you Wolfwoman . Need to get the size foot of the other person though cause that pair would be a christmas present for next year . Or would it be better for you to have a tracing of the persons feet ?

Tracings would be awesome! They make it much easier!

I will take payments too
