Vintage 1980s, ORIGINAL Valenki Soviet Russian Military Felt Boots, size 31. ? Size 31 (foot length / size in the photo). Very good vintage condition. ? In the Soviet Union, military personnel used special footwear to insulate their feet during service in cold conditions. One of the types of such shoes were felt boots. They were made of felted wool and had a high thermal insulation capacity. The main purpose of the felts was to store heat and protect against low temperatures. Usually they had a high lever, which was securely fixed on the lower leg. Felt boots provided effective insulation from the cold, allowing servicemen to keep their feet at a comfortable temperature in frosty weather. Such shoes were used in the army, border troops, and other military units, especially in the northern territories, where the winters were very harsh. Modern technologies and materials led to the development of more modern military footwear, and felt boots lost their popularity in military use. However, they remain part of cultural heritage and can be used in folklore and traditions. ?
