Nutukas information


Nutukas on display at the Arktikum Science Museum in Rovaniemi, Finland.
A Sámi finnesko, along with a snowshoe, used in Fridtjof Nansen's Greenland expedition of 1890.

Nutukas, finnesko, or simply Sámi boots are traditional Sámi winter footwear made of reindeer hide. Because they are soft, the nutukas will not freeze as solidly as thick boot leather, making them relatively easy to put on after overnight exposure to subzero temperatures.[1] From 1890, they are regularly mentioned in accounts of polar travel.[2][3]
