Most of the heat loss occurs at the seams. Real felt boots are not stitched, they have a solid shape, so they warm better than boots. The material also plays a role in the issue. The classic model is felted from 100% wool, due to which it is not cold even at extremely low temperatures.
What criteria should you use to choose felt boots?
Much depends on who, when and where the felt boots will be worn. If you live in a region with changeable weather - early in the morning -15, and in the afternoon -3 - then buy your preschooler a pair with a rubberized or inflated bottom. This model will protect your feet from frost on the way to the kindergarten and will not let them get wet on the way to the house, and in case of a jump, it will protect your ankle better than the canonical version.
Important! A worthy alternative to felt boots with rubber or puffy bottoms are transparent galoshes worn on top. They look neater than black ones.
For residents of regions with harsh winters, traditional models are more suitable. They make it easier to walk in deep snow. Well, fashionistas who don’t want to spoil their look with a regular cut should take a closer look at the tapered options.Their nose part is not so massive, and the shaft in width and shape is more reminiscent of a boot part.
How to choose a size
Useful notes and recommendations:
- you need to measure on a warm sock (first of all, the rule works for shoes with rubber soles, a narrowed shaft and a neat small nose);
- the size of the traditional model is determined by subtracting from the usual size 13 (if you wear boots of 38, then take felt boots of 25);
- children's size is determined by the insole removed from the shoes (the insole should be 3–4 cm shorter).
Important! These shoes shrink when worn. Therefore, it makes sense to take a pair 1 size larger.
Selecting the material
The warp must be made of 100% sheep wool (with factory roll the figure is usually much lower, impurities are widely used). Decorative inclusions of other materials, as well as rubber soles, are also acceptable.
Important! If the material is dyed, it may cause allergies. Of the uncolored ones, only white and gray pairs are available.
Best filler
It is necessary to distinguish felt boots from felt boots. These are still different shoes. And if the model has filling or lining, then it should not be classified as felt boots either. A real canonical couple does not need any insulation. It already retains heat perfectly.
If you are going to buy felt boots, then take them with real fur insulation. And don't forget to make sure that the entire inside is finished with it. Some manufacturers are cunning: they use natural materials on the visible parts of the boots, and artificial ones deep inside.
Decorative decoration of felt boots
Not all designers consider it necessary to trim felt boots, but if such an idea occurs to them, they most often turn to ethnic motifs.Reason: these shoes have distinct roots, they relate to the Russian people. Hence the embroidery with threads and stones, fur trims and appliqués, plant (berries, flowers) and animal patterns (primarily birds, often fairy tales).
Ethnic style is now among the trends, so felt boots interestingly decorated in this direction can and should be worn. You should also pay attention to quilted models and pairs made from several materials at once.
