You’ve got your Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, but what should you spend it on? Well judging by the amount of you who’ve told us off for disliking Mukluks, you want big fluffy boots to keep you warm for the rest of winter (just like Kate Moss, Beyonce, Paris Hilton and everyone else in celeb-land). But where can you buy them online? We’ve searched for the best stockists of the cult rabbit fur mocassin-based boot (and it’s more animal-friendly fakes). Many sites stocking the genuine article still have waiting lists or are sold out, but keep checking back for new stock and you might get lucky.
Read on for the stockists list (it's far too long to put on the main page!)

I agree with you, they are truly ugly. It's the most popular style of shoe at the moment. Most girls are wearing them! Ugh!
Told off for disliking them? Urgh! I think people need telling off for liking them. THey really cant have seen the ad with the poor Bunny skinned alive for its fur...probably for those freaking boots! :(
Laydeez in the US - if you wear these things you are obviously not familiar with the UK teenage phenomenon, the 'Chav'. Most commonly seen in a Juicy Couture rip-off and Burberry baseball hat (Eeeooow!) pushing a double baby buggie and trailing a big dog by the lead, they adore these boots and are quite sufficient to drive those of us who are further up the foodchain in quite the opposite fashion direction. Be warned - the Chav effect can take you unaware and prevent you from ever getting a good table reservation again.
my girlfriend wants those boots. I told her they were real rabbit fur. She said not for $130, they couldn't be. She then said, even if it is real, they don't kill them, just shave them...like sheep. Anybody know the answer to this or where to find it???? Thanx.
does anyone no how to make mukluks since there so expensive. Any ideas please email me
www.dutchfactory.nl genuine fur hummingbird® mukluks handmade in canada.
Anyone who thinks rabbit fur is ever shaved... No, they kill them. Rabbits are raised for their meat and hide--just like cattle are--and have been for years. Funny thing that people find the idea of bunnies being killed for their fur as cruel, but I haven't read any comments re. the cow hide (suede) being used to make these boots, or that it was cruel to kill/skin those cattle. Which are also often still alive (albeit dazed) at the time they are butchered, btw. So really the making of all boots or leather products would involve cruelty to animals to some degree, even boots without rabbit hair.
Well, I think these boots look ok.
And definetly warm enough for Canadian winters.
So i'm in!
(Although I'm not too fond of real fur, so faux fur would be the best choice for me)
I absolutely love them - if anybody has ever tried them? - they are the most comfortable thing EVER!
Probably the ugliest pair of shoes I've seen
i think the boots are super cute. cozy too, maybe even more so than my uggs. yes, i know they are real rabbit fur. and i know that a lot of people think its cruel...but for years before anyone heard of uggs or mukluks or louis vuitton or prada or any one else that uses animal skins for their products, native american indians and canadians used them to make clothing. and shoes, and shelter, and of course food. so this is nothing new. humans have been using animals for years for clothing and warmth. so i don't see what the big fuss is about. they're cute, they're comfy, and i like 'em alot!
I like the pink and white mukluks that Paris Hilton has but last week i saw a picture of Kate Moss wearing a gray suede mukluk boots and I think I like them more! Does anyone own fur mukluk boots and if so what color muk is best?

I think the gray Mukluks are best! I in fact have some listed on ebay right now for WAY less than I paid for them! Check them out!
