To us Hip Mountain Mama is not just a business but a way of life and our little way of making the world a better place for our children and for future generations."

I couldn't have said it better myself!

The Review:

I had the opportunity to review a pair of Mukluks from Hip Mountain Mama. First off, these mukluks have been a lifesaver right after having a baby! Baby girl is a week old and these have been on my feet keeping me toasty warm. For some reason, all of my socks are missing in the chaos mountain that is the laundry and these have taken their place!

The Mukluks are made from 100% wool with a thin piece of leather sewn to the bottom. The mukluks are handmade in small villages supporting women and their families. Allowing these women to contribute to their household income is a very important and powerful thing. The mukluks are hand knit by artisan hands. Very well made.

I was afraid that the soles would be slippery on our stained concrete floors but no problems at all. I only wish they had a little thicker sole so i could wear them out of the house. They fit true to sizer and are a great accessory for winter! These would make a great gift this holiday!

Buy It: To purchase a pair of Mukluks visit Hip Mountain Mama

Cost: $12.99 (not bad for a fair trade, handmade product)
