What do they look like?
From time immemorial, the Mongols have been renowned as excellent equestrians with excellent animal handling skills. For horseback riding, appropriate shoes were needed - with a high boot (reaching to the knee), a raised pointed top, with a heel, made of durable material.

Subsequently, the name "Mongolian boots" (or "Mongolians") was assigned to these products.

Traditionally, Mongolians were made from genuine yak skin and insulated with dog fur from the inside. The shoes had to be as comfortable as possible for the rider: due to the thoughtful heel height and hard back, the foot did not get tired in it for the whole day. And the rolled up sock was not only a beautiful detail, but also a necessary protection from the steppe sand. Mongolian boots were unusually warm footwear, as required by the climate of the inhabitants of cold latitudes. These shoes retained warmth even at very low temperatures (up to minus 40 degrees), in addition, they kept the rider's feet dry.

Skilled craftsmen made boots according to certain rules. Shoes were sewn with straight, very strong seams, which gave strength to the products. Initially, the boots had neither fasteners nor lacing. They fit tightly to the leg. By the way, the first time Mongolians wore wet, right after the craftsmen finished their work - in this case, the shoes took the shape of a foot. Note that the heels did not interfere with the men while walking.

Interestingly, during the period of the Golden Horde, boots were not divided into left and right - they were sewn in exactly the same way.

From the middle of the 18th century, Mongols began to be part of the uniform of the Cossacks. They differed in a slightly curved heel and had a yellowish, red or green tint.

Modern Mongolian boots are somewhat reminiscent of cowboy boots. But nevertheless, in general, they retained their original design (in particular, the original sock, high bootleg), colors and comfort. The felt sole additionally stimulates the feet and provides a gentle massage, which promotes good blood circulation.

Real Mongolian boots are made, of course, in Mongolia. These are handicrafts by talented shoemakers, not mass-produced. Each season they develop a new collection, changing colors and accessories (interestingly, each pair of shoes has a unique factory number). The only thing that remains unchanged is the high quality of the boots and, of course, their excellent ability to keep warm.
Models
The range of Mongolian boots is presented today by adults (both men and women) and children. Traditionally, these are products with a high bootleg, in some models the height is adjusted due to the fact that the top can be turned away, getting a wide fur trim, which looks very impressive. Some models are equipped with side straps that allow you to adjust the width of the boot, and this also protects the shoe from snow getting inside.

Mongolians are very popular among women today - many sophisticated women of fashion are crazy about ethnic style. Most of the women's models are decorated with hand-made embroidery, decorative seams, embossing, fur and other elements. Masters embroider ancient symbols with silk threads, which can mean beauty, health, success, wisdom and other qualities.

The sole of Mongolian shoes usually has a three-layer structure, which includes rubber and a felt layer (as an option, camel's wool). The sole is very thick, non-slip. Its strength is achieved due to the fact that it is simultaneously glued and stitched with nylon thread.

What to wear with?
As for the stronger sex, men usually wear Mongolian boots with jeans or stylish tight trousers. From above, such an ensemble will ideally complement a down jacket. A hat also in ethnic style will not hurt (as an option, it can be decorated with the same fur as the boots).
Women's Mongolians look great with jeans, leggings and tight-fitting trousers, which are usually tucked inside the shoe. Such a set looks especially harmonious if the clothes are decorated with embroidery, rhinestones, beads - as if they continue the ethnic theme of shoes.
Mongolian boots are successfully combined with turtlenecks, tight pullovers, but also loose sweaters that have some kind of decor.
Fashionistas love to wear these shoes with antique style dresses. But here it is important to adhere to the condition: the higher the bootleg, the shorter the dress should be. Courageous young ladies wear Mongolian skirts with midi-length A-line skirts. A long colorful skirt also looks original with this shoe.
A bold image (associated with someone with a horsewoman, with someone with a hunter) will harmoniously complement a fur handbag also in the Mongolian style. An excellent solution is also fur mittens.
As for women's high fur boots with a fur trim, they look gorgeous with a mini-skirt or a short dress.

The looks are based on a spectacular combination of brutality and femininity. Black demi-season boots in the Mongolian style are made in an elegant black color, they are distinguished by a characteristic wide bootleg and a pointed slightly raised nose. The model with a small heel is decorated with a decorative buckle on the side.
Wide boots emphasize the grace of a woman's legs. These slightly rude shoes are combined with a flared skirt in a small floral pattern and an elegant plaid jacket - a rather feminine and romantic outfit. There is a certain analogy with the image of a horsewoman - only a bicycle plays the role of a horse.
