Moon Boots are footwear first created in the early 1970s by manufacturer Tecnica Group of Giavera del Montello, Italy.[1] They became a notable fashion trend throughout the 1980s. The boot is constructed with a thin rubber outsole and cellular rubber midsole covered by colorful Nylon fabrics and using polyurethane foams. Tecnica registered wordwide the trademark Moon Boot® name in 1978. As of 2010[update] Tecnica still offers the Moon Boot [2] though there are many imitators. With the trademark's registrations, the authentic Tecnica boot is the only one able to be marketed as a "Moon Boot®". Since 2011 they are produced in Ukraine, at the rate of some 700,000 per year.[3]
