You know how that classic Nancy Sinatra song goes: ‘These boots are made for walkin’ but they aren’t made to walk all over you one day’! At least, this isn’t the intention of Soleil Pond when she came up with a rather nifty idea about the extra fluff from her furry friend.
This is Nimbus—the muse behind the boots. She has plenty of fur and isn’t one to be miserly about giving out the excess that she has no use for. So, her owner Soleil started to gather her hair in an objective to fashion a souvenir out of her beautiful dog.
While many pet owners snuggle up to their dog’s warm and soft fur, not many pet owners think about using their pet’s excess fluff for a project—let alone to create a pair of classy, stylish boots! But this young woman did exactly just that, and she blew everyone away with her quirky idea of making a warm, furry creation out of her Samoyed’s extra coat. And hey, this is far from being a very hair situation!
In no time, what started as a little amount of fur escalated to quite plenty of fur. Eventually, Soleil was inspired to come up with the most perfect project to immortalize her adorable doggo. She handed over her dog’s fur to a friend who was an expert at creating furry footwear. It took her about 24 hours to complete one boot, so it entailed more than two days of labor to finish the adorable pair.
After so much time and effort, Soleil’s Nimbus boots were completed! And according to Soleil, her fashionable footwear was ‘resistant to cold damage’ and helps its wearer to tolerate temperatures for as low as -40°F! Now that’s convenient and cozy!
And aside from being incredibly innovative, the Nimbus boots are also quite captivating!
It wouldn’t be surprising if other pet owners will follow her lead, and be encouraged to fashion their own keepsakes, influenced by their very own furry darlings!
Despite how much we adore our canine companions, their shedding isn’t something we enjoy most of the time. However, Soleil shows us that we can come up with rather ingenious ideas on how we can turn this situation into a whole new and memorable experience! Whether they’re boots or socks to keep us warm, our adorable dogs can always help us come up with ways to entertain ourselves!
