Boots Kotofey

Every year it is becoming more difficult to predict what the winter will be like. There are changes in climate features. In winter, the weather can surprise with its diversity and waywardness. There are warm, similar to the spring days, there are severe frosts with snowfall, and it happens that it rains for several days in a row. You need to dress according to the weather, and not according to the season!

Enough practical advice. First of all it concerns children. Despite the fact that the calendar draws winter, it is better to initially look at the thermometer or look out into the street to know how to dress the child properly.

The same goes for the shoe issue. Unfortunately, despite the huge selection of children's shoes, not all products can withstand snowfall with frost or gray days with drizzle and porridge under their feet. Ever since ancient times we remember how comfortable and practical felt boots were. It would seem that felt boots remained in the distant past, now they can only be remembered or looked at their images on old photographs ... However, today the model range of children's winter shoes is presented by stylish and modern felt boots manufactured by Kotofey.

The Kotofey trademark has more than 70 years of history. Practically, the company was created back in 1935 on the basis of the Egoryevskaya factory. Over the course of six months, the equipment was selected and installed, the staff was recruited who received training, gained excellent experience and later became the foundation of the enterprise. Over its history, the company has known many ups and downs. The 90s were a particularly difficult period, the production of shoes was almost at the bottom. However, the company managed to stay afloat, withstand, develop further and reach incredible heights among many competing firms.

1996 was a key year in the history of the company. During this period, the Egoryev Factory signed a partnership agreement with the Italian company IGI. As a result, the Russian company was able to use high-quality Italian materials in production, thereby modernizing and improving its own model range. Employees of the company were trained abroad, for the production of children's shoes began to use new equipment and various innovative technologies. If the previously manufactured trademark products were among the cheap models, then in the future the Egoryevskaya factory began to produce high-quality and practical shoes for children and adolescents in the middle and above the average price range.

In 2001, the trademark Kotofey was registered, which belonged to the Russian enterprise Yegorievsk Obuv. The company logo has become an image of a running cat in boots and a hat with a wide brim.

From this moment TM “Kotofey” began to adhere to the following principles of work:

• a wide range of shoes and the annual renewal of collections;
• guarantee of excellent quality of manufactured products.

To date, the company produces about 3 million pairs of children's shoes per year. Only in Russia there are more than 120 mono-brand stores of this brand.

What is the feature of Kotofey TM felt boots? Why are shoes of this brand in recent times in high demand and occupies a leading position in sales?

Valenki "Kotofey" attract the attention of buyers with a number of characteristics, thanks to which they stand out among winter footwear of other manufacturers:

• for the manufacture of shoes used exclusively sheep wool, the composition is completely absent synthetic additives;
• wool perfectly maintains heat insulation inside a felt boot, suitable for various temperature conditions, including fierce frosts;
• protection from getting wet thanks to a solid sole and rubberized inserts in the toe and heel area;
• the inner form is fully consistent with the anatomical structure of the foot of the child;
• when creating children's boots, the orthopedic properties of shoes are taken into account, which contribute to the proper placement of the child’s feet inside the boots;
• Attention buyers are offered a wide range of model range and variety of colors, which makes it possible to choose models for both boys and girls.

Footwear manufactured by Kotofey firmly settled on the modern consumer market. High interest in products contributes to the development of a brand. New models are developed and produced annually.

All Kotofey TM shoes can be classified according to several categories:

• Purpose: from models for daily wear to holiday options.
• According to the dimensional grid: from nursery to teenage models.
• On seasonality or compliance with weather and climatic conditions: without insulation, with fur, on sheepskin, etc.
• By type of footwear: from stylish booties in the form of children's boots to warm boots.
• By design: laconic one-color felt boots, colorful models, options with decor (for example, with a snowflake, with a heart, with a cat, with a bullfinch, with a penguin, with a spider, etc.).
• On a fastener option: without fastener, on a wide flypaper, with one or with two lightnings.

In the distant past there were sad black-gray felt boots. Modern (both children's and adult models) delight customers with a variety of colors of the color palette. For the attention of consumers are offered monochrome models with decorative decoration in the form of applications or three-dimensional stickers, models of the combined type, combining two or more colors, models with prints on various subjects (children, sea, floristics, geometric shapes, etc.). Recently, valenki of TM “Kotofey” of white, black, gray, red, burgundy, pink, lilac, violet and other colors began to be in high demand.

Proper operation and storage of shoes increase its service life. For example, after a walk shoes should be thoroughly dried. However, you can not dry the boots on the batteries or other heating devices - drying should occur in natural conditions.

It is also important that the shoes match the size of the child’s feet, for this it is necessary to correctly measure the measurements from the foot of the baby. You should not pass the boots inherited from generation to generation, because each leg is individual.

TM "Kotofey" in every possible way helps its customers with a choice of shoes for children. On the official website of the company, each consumer can familiarize himself with the dimensional mesh of manufactured models of shoes for children and teenagers. For the convenience of users, it was decided to indicate three main criteria for choosing the required shoe size:

• size (declared by the manufacturer);
• metric size or foot length of the child;
• recommended insole length.

You should also take into account the fact that there are models that can be small, or, conversely, slightly more. Therefore, before making a purchase, it is important to familiarize yourself with the dimensional mesh of a specific shoe model or to clarify this information with the sales assistants of official stores or sales offices.

If initially TM "Kotofey" produced not very practical and wear-resistant models of children's shoes, then the price of such products was appropriate. After the start of cooperation with the Italian company and the use of high-quality materials and various innovative techniques, the quality, practicality and external design of the products significantly improved, which could not but affect the value of the goods. Today, shoes manufactured under the logo “Kotofey” are included in the category “products of the middle and above-average price segment”.

Having carefully reviewed the reviews of consumers who are owners of children's shoes manufactured by Kotofey, it should be noted that there are both positive and negative reviews. However, there are no completely negative reviews. In most cases, leaving their opinion about felt boots, users make comments on some of the flaws in the products.

In particular, the following factors are attributed to negative aspects:

• rapid loss of appearance (first of all, we are talking about products from light felt, which after a certain period of time loses its color and becomes not so attractive in appearance);
• the bulkiness of some models (this problem is especially acute among young mothers whose babies are just learning to walk).

Nevertheless, most of the reviews that are found in the Internet space are positive:

• wide range of;
• rich selection of colors;
• the presence of instep in most models;
• matching the criteria for "correct shoes";
• the naturalness of the materials used;
• anti-slip sole coating;
• practicality and high wear resistance;
• durability and reliability;
• stylish and contemporary design;
• affordability;
• the correct ratio of the criteria "price" and "quality".

In conclusion, it is worth noting that the boots of TM “Kotofey” deserve the attention of a modern buyer due to its characteristics and price loyalty.
