Mukluks

Mukluks or Kamik (singular: kamak) are a soft boot traditionally made of reindeer skin or sealskin and were originally worn by Arctic natives, including the Inuit and Yupik. The term mukluk is often used for any soft boot designed for cold weather and modern designs are often similar to high-top athletic shoes. (Wikipedia)

There's a whole sesame street segment about "eskimos" in the arctic and they sing a song about mukluks. I will consider myself more "in the know" now about them though!
