Due to their lightness and excellent heat-saving ability, they were the traditional footwear of many northern peoples. They looked, of course, much simpler than modern boots-felt boots for women: simple design and lack of decor.

2. The use of various fasteners (zipper, lacing).
3. Combination of different colors and shades in one product.
4. The use of fur for additional insulation.

When choosing boots, be sure to consider a few points:

• Models made from natural wool always have an uneven color. The structure of the felt, containing fibers of a different color, speaks of the environmental friendliness and naturalness of the material. The dyed felt has a uniform color.
• For sewing boots, wool of different thickness is used. The highest quality and most expensive is thin.It can be recognized by its characteristic light shade.
• Natural wool should be soft and slightly fluffy to the touch.
• In order for the boots to reliably warm in the most severe winter frosts, the thickness of the felt cloth should not be less than 4-6 mm.

• Too soft and pliable felt boots indicate poor quality wool. A high-quality material should be elastic and quickly return to its original shape after compression or crushing.
• Natural wool has a specific pleasant smell without chemical fragrances and additives.
• The use of natural fur means that the boots are made of synthetic fabric. Natural materials do not need additional insulation.

• The sole can be made of rubber, polyurethane and other materials. The grooved sole will reliably protect you from slipping on ice, while the thick sole will create additional thermal insulation. Lovers of heels should pay attention to models with a stable wide heel. They both look beautiful and are very reliable.
• Wool may shrink slightly over time, so it is permissible to choose boots one size larger than necessary. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the margin for warm tights or socks and the gap required to maintain air exchange. The boots should sit on the leg fairly freely, not pinch the foot or put pressure on it.

Today, many manufacturers offer their customers a variety of collections of felt boots. Each company strives to bring something innovative, useful to its products in order to interest potential buyers.

Among the most useful and necessary developments are:

3. The use of moisture-resistant materials for sewing (a particularly relevant technology for regions with a humid climate).
4. Rigid heel counter (increases wear resistance and extends the life of the shoe).
5. Special cuffs for protection from snow and wind.
6. Taped seams.
7. Reflective details.
8. Original decor.
