Eskimo Mukluks Hide Boots (often simply called mukluks) are traditional soft boots originating from Indigenous Arctic peoples, including the Inuit (historically referred to as Eskimo in some contexts), Iñupiat, and Yup'ik. The term "mukluk" derives from the Yupik word for bearded seal, a key material in their construction.

These boots are crafted primarily from animal hide and fur for exceptional warmth, flexibility, and breathability in extreme cold.

Shipping

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.
