WHERE YOU CAN USE MICKEY MOUSE BOOTS

Posted on July 16th, 2010 by admin  |  No Comments »

First let me explain what Mickey Mouse boots are really. These boots are the sturdiest kind of boot that has ever treaded the planet. No, they are not kid’s shoes and no, they are not made by that brand.
These boots were first issued in 1951 to American soldiers. These American soldiers were the ones who were based in Korea and who had to deal with the biting winter cold. In Korea, you see, the temperatures could go really plunge much lower than the average and the poor men had to fight of frostbite all the time.

These boots were wool-lined and were made of several rubber layers. These rubber layers and wool lining keep feet warm, but ventilation was not a feature. Sweat would collect quickly, but this was a lot better than having frozen toes.
Now, these boots were rather large and clunky looking. They also came in the color white and the soldiers started joking around saying that they were wearing Mickey Mouse’s shoes.
In time, Mickey Mouse boots improved in design and now can be purchased anywhere. Fishers and backpackers still prefer to use these boots since they can wade through cold water and not get their feet wet. They are also pretty sturdy and can last a long time.

You yourself can own your own pair of Mickey Mouse boots. If you don’t want them in white, you can opt for black ones instead. These boots are better at absorbing moisture from sweat and are also not as heavy as early rubber boots. Order your own pair online and have it delivered to your home.
