Beaked shoes or beaked boots ( , , ) are a type of winter boot featuring pointy, upturned toes, called beaked toes or hooked toes, traditionally intended to aid the attachement of skis and snowshoes. Such are commonly made of raindeer leather, and may have shafts of various lengths.
In historical shoe terminology, "beak" may simply refer to any pointy elongated toe in general, such as that of the poulaine.
Beakad shoes are ancient and has a strong connection to the Fennoscandian cultures, especially with the Sámi people, and Tornedalians, where it has become part of the folk costume (, , ).
At the 1924 Winter Olympics, the Swedish skiers used beaked boots of felt, with thin soles, instead of thick leather such, along with short skis with loose leather bindings and no toe-iron. The Norwegian skiers rode on short skis with a new type of binding that held the foot in place and allowed turns, thus winning with ease.
Beaked boots had a fashion trend in Sweden during the 1970s, especially among the political left.
