Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 15th, 2010
All over the globe, according to various media outlets, like the Cleveland Leader, the greatest new fashion statements are being make by Yeti boots!
Roman Lang’s “yeti boots” (below) is a superb example of the penetration the motif has reached.
Writes fashion reporter Julie Kent : “Chanel’s version is an over-the-knee cut with faux fur and a transparent heel that’s supposed to look like an icicle. Dolce & Gabanna’s version is as equally hideous covered in rabbit fur. And lastly, Manolo Blahnik also has put out a pair covered in Himalayan goat hair.”
Of course, the knockoffs appearing at Wal-Mart, Wall-Drugs, and Target can’t be far behind.
In the meantime, here are examples of various Yeti boots being sighted, worldwide, for which no field guide is required.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
One of my favorite webcomics, Skadi, features a hot barbarian babe who also sports a pair of Yeti boots:

Can you spot it? 😉
None of the Yetis I have ever looked for ever looked as good as this!!!
Actually, I have Merrell “Yeti” boots, but they don’t really look like those.
Yeti Boots have been a popular trend in Japan for decades now.
