It’s not news to anyone that in winter, warm shoes are simply a necessary attribute. Winter shoes should protect against cold weather and, at the same time, be elegant and cozy, even at this time of year. These qualities correspond to shoes called high boots.
High boots are an analogue of boots, considered the warmest footwear. The sole and fur create conditions for reliable protection from severe frosts.
In the Far North, high boots were and remain a work of art. Every Aboriginal woman believed that her untaikas must have an ornament.
Since ancient times, the following have been used for decoration:
- beads;
- bugles;
- small beads;
- leather;
- sewing with various patterns.
Today there is a large assortment of these shoes on sale, so everyone can choose them according to their style.
High boots are perfect for both adults and children.
By properly harmonizing your boots and clothes, you can always make the impression of a fashionable and extravagant lady.
What are boots made of?
Classic high boots are made from the skins of the legs of deer, elk, elk or dog skin.
Such skins are called kamus, which have a distinctive feature: incredibly low thermal conductivity. This property is due to the fact that the pile has a tubular hair structure.
For production, you can only use skins from the legs: from other areas it wears out quickly.
Making such shoes is a skillful manual labor.
Current commodity producers have recently begun to use, in addition to classic raw materials, other things:
- goat and sheep fur;
- a rabbit;
- arctic fox.
The lining has a big influence on warmth and comfort. For its production they use:
- cloth;
- bike;
- artificial material;
- sheepskin;
- felt cloth.
For the sole, felt is used, glued in two or three layers. Felt is also combined with rubber.
To sew one pair of high boots, you will need 8 skins from the legs of an adult deer or elk. The shoes are expensive, but they deserve it.
