Women's and children's boots on the sole
Heat felt boots proven years of experience, however, their practicality has been questionable for a long time. Wet weather and reagents make it difficult to wear these comfortable shoes. Today, a solution to the problem has been found, because modern models have a solid base.
Features and benefits
The first boots appeared more than 2.5 millennia ago. Made from sheep's wool, they have excellent thermal properties, because they are a solid item. It is the absence of seams that provide this effect, which other shoes cannot match.
In addition, experts say that felt boots are useful shoes. Thanks to wool, excessive moisture evaporates, and the skin of the feet breathes.
Modern craftsmen replace sheep wool with dog, goat and camel. The latter is used for the manufacture of designer models.
Stylish boots decorated with embroidery, sequins and rhinestones. The most expensive models are felt boots, painted and embroidered by hand.
Types of soles
Rubber
Rubber outsole is characterized by high thermal insulation, softness and flexibility. In boots on such a sole, it is easy and comfortable to walk. The lack of rubberized models lies in quick wear.
Polyurethane
An alternative to soft and not too durable soles is a model of polyurethane. Polyurethane sole is not afraid of contact with reagents and puddles, however, the legs in such products will freeze faster.
Thick
The ideal material for the sole is a two-layer model. The top layer of the boots should be made of rubber, the outer - of polyurethane. In this case, the boots will be able to serve for many years.
Such a two-layer outsole is thick and heavy. The thickness allows you to wear felt boots even in wet weather, forgetting about the special galoshes, which many claim to look not very aesthetically pleasing.
Fashion models
Today, boots are extremely popular, they are given to relatives and friends, because the appearance conquers colorful and distinctive.
Homemade

With bullfinches

With lightning
Boots with zippers - an elegant product, resembling boots. There are supporters and opponents of this model, because on the one hand, lightning gives the product a more feminine look and facilitates donning, and on the other - causes loss of solidity. And after all, solidity is the key to high thermal properties.
Shortened
Shorter-length felt boots are extremely popular among women of all ages, because they do not limit movement. It is worth saying that shortened felt boots can be made from absolutely any models on their own, because felted wool can be easily cut to the desired length with ordinary scissors.

With laces

With ears

However, needlewomen and craftsmen went further, starting to roll decorative figures to the felt boot using the technique of dry felting. Ears such as wolves or cat families have become one of these figures. The designer's idea is complemented by painting on the foot in the form of the animal's face, in the area of the ankles the ears are set.
With fur
The fur is perfectly combined with felt and is actively used by designers and factories for the production of felt boots. Even artificial fur looks worthy of it, because, being at the top of the tops, it is not threatened with abrasion.

With obsoyuzkoy
Obsoyuzka in felt boots ensures their longer service life. Models with obsoyuzkoy are not afraid of thaw, because a strip of waterproof material protects the wool from getting wet.
