High fur boots from Yakutia

• Unts are called winter footwear of the peoples of the Far North and Siberia, made of natural fur. Recently, high fur boots have become quite popular and have appeared in the fashion collections of many designers. The footwear got its name thanks to the peoples from the eastern part of Siberia and is translated as "boot".

• Siberian Evenks made high fur boots from deer kamuses, which represent the skin from the legs of an animal. The kamuses of other animals, such as arctic fox or hare, are used as decorations. Women's and men's high boots can be decorated with beaded embroidery, as well as cloth of different colors.

• Among the Nenets peoples, the fur boots were called Pims or Torbas. Such shoes could be high enough and could cover the entire leg. For sewing pims, they could use not only kamuses, but also leather from the forehead of deer.

• Among the peoples of the Khanty and Mansi, high fur boots were called kis. However, high boots-kis were also called demi-season shoes of Komi residents who were engaged in reindeer herding. Such shoes had a small top made of cloth or leather. They also began to call home shoes in the form of boots, which were worn by both men and women.

Today, for sewing such an unusual type of winter footwear, technologies are used that were used by northern residents many centuries ago. Currently, in addition to reindeer skin, fox fur is used, as well as the skins of arctic fox and wolf.

But all the same, the original models of high fur boots are made from reindeer skin, since it does not rub off for a long time.Due to the properties of deerskin, such shoes can be used in the most severe frosts. Real high fur boots are made by hand, so they fit perfectly on the foot.

The shoe lining is a greatcoat cloth that allows you to keep warm. The back of high fur boots is made of leather and is rather hard. This feature protects the shoes from premature deformation. To connect the soles of high fur boots and the main part of winter shoes, a special strip of leather is used, which is called a welt.

Felt is used as a sole for high fur boots, which is highly compressed. This technology additionally helps to keep warm. The decoration for high fur boots is beaded embroidery called bile. Painstaking and very beautiful handmade work makes each pair unique. In addition, there are high boots with fur patterns.

The factory of arts and crafts called "Sardaana", which has been producing fur boots from Yakutia for half a century, is the real pride of the Yakut people. The work at the factory is carried out in accordance with the best traditions and is designed to preserve the art and cultural traditions of the Sakha people. High boots of the "Sardaana" factory reflect the whole essence of the way of life of this people.

The store of Yakut high fur boots "Elley", which is located in Novosibirsk and sells products throughout Russia, helps to distribute the products of the factory. In the store "Elley" from the Yakut factories you can find not only high fur boots made of reindeer hide, but also high fur boots made of horse hide, as well as high fur boots with the use of other furs. It is this store that informs the public about what such unusual fur shoes of the northern peoples are, which draws attention to the history and culture of the peoples of Yakutia.

When asking how much high fur boots cost, you should pay attention to several factors. First of all, the cost is influenced by the quality of the material used, how well the dressing is done. The one whose skin was used also plays a role here. Today horse cumus high fur boots are very popular. They are considered the ideal combination of price and quality and cost no more than 15 thousand rubles. Deerskin high boots are much more expensive.

In addition, the cost of ounces depends on the decor. If it is hand embroidery with beads, then these shoes will cost a lot. But the most expensive models of high fur boots will be those that are completely custom-made according to individual measurements and from the most expensive furs.

High fur boots, which are sewn on conveyors and are produced by some factories in large quantities, will cost much less. But, most likely, the quality of such shoes will not be so high, they will become unusable quite quickly. Therefore, having decided to purchase high fur boots, you should not save and look for cheap options.
