Reindeer Boots
What it is
Under the boots of reindeer skins can be meant as pima - soft, ultra warm traditional shoes of the peoples of the Far North, and boots - comfortable fur boots, more familiar to the eyes of the inhabitants of the central region. How are they different?
Pima is much easier than high fur boots due to the fact that the same reindeer skin acts as a sole, although it is taken between the hooves of an animal due to its natural rigidity. For this reason, Pima is not recommended to wear at temperatures above fifteen degrees, in order to avoid damage to the product. They will not survive the effects of salt and reagents, with which the streets of large cities abound. By and large, pima by external signs are the same boots, only from fur, while high fur boots have a reliable sole made of rubberized material or polyurethane.
Also, pima and high fur boots are distinguished by decorative elements. Pim ornaments are much stricter in their significance, they symbolize spiritual commandments and perform the functions of guarding the host against various misfortunes.
Features and benefits
Advantages of boots from deerskin are indisputable: due to the specificity of the structure of fur, hairs create microscopic air chambers that provide perfect heat conduction. In such shoes frost is easily tolerated to minus fifty degrees. The boots are very soft, comfortable, pleasant to the touch and have a beautiful appearance.
According to their purpose, they are distinguished:
- Women;
- Masculine;
- Baby.
Female models are different from male models. In the first case, the patterns are intended to protect the keeper of the hearth, her family and home from unclean forces, and the ornament of men's boots contributes to good luck in hunting and field work. As a decoration of children's shoes, there may be images of hare ears, which characterizes spontaneity, fearfulness and the need to listen a lot.
Colors
High fur boots or Pima mean shoes with fur outside. As a rule, the characters are not processed with dyes, since the patterns are also made up of fur fragments. The most expensive and exclusive models are the boots of white color, since among the deer there are rare individuals of pure white color. But the models of other colors will not be a cheap pleasure, as often Pima is handmade.
High fur boots can have both dyed fur and natural fur. Accordingly, the price of the painted boots is somewhat lower, but this has practically no effect on the quality of the goods.
Where can one buy
The easiest way is to place an order in the online store, but if you can buy it with an opportunity in the North, it will be much better. In this case, you gain confidence that you get these boots, and not the Chinese fake. Also in the northern regions there are workshops for sewing shoes made of deer skins.
