Fashion underwent a radical change in the 1960s; the A-line suits and dresses of the 1950s were replaced with flared jeans and big flowing gowns. Footwear also showed this change, especially with the launch of Moon Boots. Perfect for icy circumstances, these big, insulated boots were created by Tecnica, an Italian firm and were quite light and comfy. They soon started to be a fashion statement connected with both utility and elegance. Though they finally lost popularity, Moon Boots are today regarded as the best "60s memorabilia as they combine trendiness and utility. It could be time to sweep the dust off your Moon Boots if you chance to have any sitting in the attic.

Their attraction stems from their unique design that catches the spirit of a bygone age as well as from their nostalgic worth. So go through your closets; you might find a piece of fashion legacy just waiting to be unearthed!
