Traditionally worn by Canadian Aboriginals for hunting in the snow, Mukluks have taken a turn to the glamorous side and are now being worn as day and even evening wear by fashionistas around the globe. Muks' Autumn/Winter 10/11 collection draws inspiration from the seventies bohemian rock era and aims to be the most high fashion collection of MukLuk boots yet.

The Glam Rock Collection boasts trendy studded suede and luxurious fur, plus the boots themselves come in an assortment of shapes and sizes. The Wrap Muks (shown here) are one of the best selling designs and feature fur wrapped around the leg with ribbons of criss-crossed suede that tie in a bow on either side. Wrap Muks come in tall, short, and (their newest incarnation) Wedge styles. Yes, you can get a MukLuk with a heel.

I would not have thought that 'MukLuk' and 'high heel' would go together but it actually does work. The first ever "Wedge Muk" features a cross-like nailhead studded pattern on the toe and more studs on the suede straps and along the top rim. The studs are subtle but very pretty and the overall effect evokes real winter glamour. $295 - $395
