These are native boots made in native styling for the use of ski boots. These boots have rounded up toes because this is what held the boots to the early native skis. By the way, the early native skis used fur for the bottoms. When moving in the direction of the fur, the skis are very slick and when pushing against the fur grain, the skis grab the snow and allow the skier to put a lot of muscle to his forward movement.
These are some real nice seal skin slippers. They are super warm and very comfortable. Order your boots below, just write to Merete. From the Webmaster: These are some beautiful clothes made in native style by Merete. She has studied the native clothing for many years before she started the business in Longyearbyen on the Svalbard Island group located far north of the most northern tip of Norway's mainland. The clothes are made of various animal furs from seal to arctic fox giving them both the function of maximum warmth and beautiful styling. You can contact
Merete at this Email address for more information or to purchase your custom
made clothes. Click here
