In this article we will consider what is the "secret" of their warmth and how to choose the right felt boots for a child.

1) Natural sheep wool. The warmest felt boots are made from 100% natural sheep wool, without impurities of synthetics. Valenki Kotofey are made of merino wool; dense felt with a thickness of more than 4 millimeters is used. It perfectly absorbs moist air inside the shoe, which makes the child's foot always dry.

Parents, remember the unpleasant sensations - being in winter shoes indoors (in a store, in a hospital, in a shopping and entertainment center, but you never know where) the leg sweats a little and becomes wet. Going out into the cold, the legs freeze even faster. This does not happen in felt boots. In Kotofey felt boots - 100% feet will be dry and warm. Don't believe me? Buy and see for yourself.

What else does a mother need so as not to worry about the health of her baby? Buy high-quality and warm shoes for the child and wear them from November to March, without worrying that the baby's feet will freeze while walking on the street.

2) Size and completeness. When choosing any children's shoes, the main thing is to choose the right size. Because winter shoes are worn from November to March, i.e. almost 5 months, then choosing the right size is necessary taking into account this period. As practice shows, a stock of 1.2-1.5 cm is enough for a child to carry boots all winter. Before buying, you need to measure two feet of the child and already start from this when choosing the right size.

Depending on the completeness of the legs, it is necessary to choose the completeness of the shoes. Usually the fullness of 3 in felt boots Kotofey fits on the middle leg of the child. If the leg is thin, then you can look at narrower models with a fullness of 1 or 2.

Accordingly, for a wide leg or with a high rise, it is necessary to select a model that opens wide. It is very important that the sales assistant of the store where you buy the shoes knows about these features. In this case, he will be able to find the right model.

In Kotofey felt boots, the size of each insole is measured and indicated in the product description.

3) Convenience of dressing. The following fasteners are often used: Velcro straps or zippers. There may be several stickies. Kotofey produces models for boys with three Velcro straps. There are models with one wide Velcro.

Zipper on felt boots is from the inside, from the front and from the outside. The first option is the most popular. In felt boots for babies, the manufacturer uses two zippers, such shoes open wide and a child's leg of any fullness can be shod without problems.

4) Outsole. You won't notice much difference between a TPE sole or a special polyurethane for winter weather. It seems to some that in some models the sole is lighter, but its main function is to keep the child's feet warm. All soles in Kotofey winter shoes do an excellent job with this task.

5) Design and appearance felt boots. Of course, the color of children's winter shoes is matched to the color of the jumpsuit or winter suit. Less often, the color of the cap. It is difficult to recommend something here, because each mother has her own taste and each parent chooses at his own discretion.

Felt shoes are unique in their properties. Sheep wool, from which felt is made, reliably protects from the cold, preventing small legs from freezing. So best shoes for children for the winter - felt boots. How to choose the right pair from a variety of modern models of traditionally Russian footwear? All information about felt products, which will help you choose the perfect footwear for the winter, will be provided by the employees of the Dochki-Sonochki online store.

Selection rules: which boots are better to buy for a child

Felt is a warm, natural and wonderful material. Sheep wool perfectly warms, but at the same time breathes, so feet do not freeze or sweat in felt shoes. Rustic rolled felt boots can be worn even at home - your feet will be comfortable. However, the classic felted model is suitable only for suburban spaces: they do not remove snow there, do not sprinkle the roads with reagents. For urban conditions, modern manufacturers produce models with rubber soles, with a comfortable fastener and an attractive design.

Boots for the winter for a child are an excellent choice. For such shoes to wear well and serve for a long time, follow these simple rules:

• buy them one size larger, because natural felt usually shrinks;
• do not dry the wet steam near central heating batteries and open fires (it may lose its shape, warp and shrink);
• clean off the dirt only after it has completely dried with a dry hard brush, always along the pile, so that the model will continue to look great;
• do not wear in the rain, do not allow children to jump in felt boots in puddles.

Important!

Boots are not suitable for thaws and slushy winters. Felt shoes get wet quickly, so you should wear them in cold weather. The optimum temperature is not higher than -5 ° С.

Modern felt boots are not dull old man's shoes, children's models are made of multi-colored felt, decorated with amusing appliqués, beautiful embroidery, and delicate edging. As, for example, the blue Elegami pair for boys with Velcro fastening in the form of a cute puppy face.

conclusions

Felt boots for toddlers have all the necessary qualities of a winter shoe. They are reliable, warm and safe. Natural material provides comfort for baby feet. Designers have created bright and cute felt models that are able to create a mood and make a kind of stylistic addition to the children's wardrobe. What kind of felt boots to buy for the winter for a child, our consultants will tell you.

Valenki are warm and comfortable shoes. They are worn in remote villages, in cities, and in respectable villages. These winter shoes are made from felted wool. Better than sheep. High-quality felt boots keep their shape well, do not get wet for a long time, absorb and evaporate moisture. They are warm and comfortable even in severe frost. It is believed to be curative orthopedic shoes since felt boots sit on the leg, taking the shape of the foot. I was struck by the story of a man whose leg healed surprisingly quickly after a serious fracture. The person who told it to me did not take off his boots "day or night" until the leg healed. His old grandmother, who was ninety-five years old, had strong healthy legs. She thanked her favorite self-made felt boots for this.

The choice of boots

Before choosing felt boots, you need to decide why they are needed. Whether it will be everyday winter shoes (instead of boots), shoes for walking in nature, a tribute to fashion, or "shoes for fun."

Of course, it is worth considering how much money can be allocated for the purchase. Especially if you want to buy interesting designer models that are expensive. Such felt boots are decorated with embroidery, fur, appliqués and even rhinestones.

When choosing felt boots, you need to take into account the features of hand felting or machine (factory) production. Felt boots are not felt boots. As well as felt boots with a zipper (there is no such production technology), with seams, insulated from the inside with fur or other material. It is a mistake to take the trendy Finnish boots Kuoma (Kuoma) and warm boots for real Russian boots.

Self-made felt boots(broken, hand felted) experts consider the only "correct". The traditional felting method has survived to our time, but it is gradually being replaced by the industrial one. It began to be increasingly attributed to folk crafts.

Factory boots(machine rolls) sin in that they are often simpler, rougher and colder than self-rolls. Often made from wool with various impurities. Modern felted-felt production is capable of producing high-quality felt boots from selected semi-coarse wool without any impurities. But they also lose to self-rollers.

Gray felt boots... Experts consider only gray felt boots to be "natural". They are the warmest and fit perfectly on the leg.

White felt boots... There was a time when white felt boots were made only from selected wool of white sheep. Now they take light thin wool of certain sheep breeds. Such boots of natural color will be both beautiful and warm. Their price is higher than that of the grays.

Charcoal black felt boots(especially factory-made) are usually dyed. For this, they do not always use natural paints... Poor quality dye can cause allergies and produce an unpleasant "chemical" odor. Self-made felt boots are often made of very dark natural wool. Then they will be "almost black".

Felt boots are comfortable for the city with a waterproof rubberized sole... I like the option better with galoshes... Especially when there is not dry sparkling snow under your feet, but a wet mess. Or you have to walk on a road treated with caustic reagents. I advise all friends to buy not familiar black galoshes, a transparent silicone... They are soft and have a tenacious tread, which is important in case of ice.

Boots with a shortened boot are sometimes called " home". They are often worn in cool environments.

We buy felt boots

1. Good felt boots are elastic, of medium hardness and with a good smell. Too soft felt boots poorly "stand", lose their shape when worn and can quickly disheveled. The masters call them " unsatisfied». Hard felt boots rub and squeeze the leg. The inner surface of any felt boots should be smooth, without bumps and irregularities. It is good if there is some correspondence in the shape of the heel of a person and the heel of boots.

A well-made felt boot quickly straightens when it is bent and then released. Or they squeeze hard. The heel and edges of the foot at the boots should also be springy and not wrinkled. Not all felt boots pass the test for elasticity, even in a warm room. A good felt boot should be slightly springy. They say that some craftsmen get great felt boots, the tops of which can be rolled into a tube, after which they instantly straighten.

Boots should be warm, but not heavy.

Before buying, you need to check the wall thickness by touch. There should be no obvious bulges or thinner spots on the bootleg. The heel and sole in high-quality felt boots are more dense. Without this, a hole will eventually fray on the heel, on which you will have to put a patch.

When buying, pay attention to the symmetry of the boots. Be sure to try them on on both feet.

There should be no unpleasant smell. This is, first of all, a sign of poor quality raw materials and manufacturing. Plus, wet wool stinks more. If the new boots have bad smell, then it is unlikely to wear off.

When buying felt boots, connoisseurs take a lighter with them. They quickly pass the flame over a small part of the felt boots. Natural wool gives the same smell as a burnt feather of a bird from a pillow, feather bed or down jacket.

The size... Boots should be larger by the size of the shoe. You can measure the length of the foot and add 1.5 - 2 cm. When wearing, felt boots are trampled in width and sit down, decreasing in length. Factory felt boots sit more, therefore, when buying them, they sometimes add up to 3 cm.

I would advise buying felt boots one size larger than yours. Sometimes a difference of two sizes is advised. It's too much.

Often they use a table that contains the size of the shoes and the size of the boots. The difference between them is 12 units. For example, size 38 shoes - size 26 felt boots. There are two exceptions: shoes size 39 - 40 - felt boots size 27, shoes 41 - 42 size - felt boots size 28. The most popular female size felt boots - 26th.

We wear boots

Are becoming more and more popular designer models felt boots that look great with sheepskin coats and down jackets. Fur coats and coats (classic cut) with felt boots are not worn. Valenki look stylish with knitted items.

Before the first toe, it is worth deciding which felt boot will be right and which will be left. Let's fix it with some kind of mark. If there is a drawing, patch, etc., then in the future you can navigate by the pattern. In felt boots on each foot, the shoe eventually takes the shape of the foot.

We take care of felt boots

Caring for felt boots has its own characteristics. Wet felt boots are not dried on a radiator or by the stove, so that they do not become tough and lose their shape (along the leg). Better to put newspaper in them and dry at room temperature.

After a walk, you need to shake off the snow from your boots. More convenient with a broom.

Dirty felt boots are cleaned with a not very hard brush or slightly damp sponge (rag), but they are not washed. After washing, felt boots are deformed and lose their best qualities. When cleaning with a damp sponge, you can add any carpet cleaner to the water. There is another way of cleaning boots, which is rarely remembered. Semolina (cereal) is poured onto the contaminated places, rubbed into the felt, after which the brush is set in motion. This method is only suitable for light-colored boots.

Boots are a delicacy for. Before storage, they must be cleaned and all measures must be taken to prevent damage. For example, put lavender or a special moth pill into each felt boot.

Here are some recommendations that will come to your aid in choosing the right size, you will definitely love with all your heart these traditional Russian felted boots and you simply will not imagine your winter without them. So to get it right choose the size of boots need to:

1. Carefully measure the length of the foot in centimeters, its size will be the size of the boots. It turns out that if the length of your foot is 24 cm, then the size of the boots, respectively, is 24th. All measurements must be taken in an upright position of the leg, and for babies up to two years of age it is necessary to measure not only the feet, but also the girth of the calf;
2. If you are not sure about the quality of the measuring process, then you can use the following method. Subtract twelve from your usual casual shoe size. The difference that will turn out in the end will be considered the size of the boots. If you have size 37 feet, then the size of the boots will be 25 (37-12 = 25).

* All data on compliance with size for age given in the table are averaged. Each child develops at a different rate.

Even if the new felt boots seem to you a little large and not entirely comfortable, you can always put fur or felt insoles inside, making them warmer, cozy and comfortable.

What quality should natural felted shoes have?

In the process of choosing boots, it is very important not only to choose the right size, but also to pay attention to their quality. Buying felt boots, we hope for them beneficial features, durability and wear resistance, and all these qualities are inherent only in real felt boots - self-rollers made from natural raw materials, subject to all the necessary technological processes.

What you should pay attention to when choosing boots:

• It is preferable to choose handmade felt boots rather than factory production. In industrial conditions, completely natural raw materials are not always used, often synthetic impurities are present in it, which affects their quality, they are not as warm and comfortable as handmade felt boots. Factory felted shoes shrink when worn, but self-rolled felt boots do not;

• Natural wool (it doesn't matter sheep, dog or camel) is the most best material for felt boots, in such shoes the leg does not sweat, does not freeze, excess moisture evaporates naturally, ice is not terrible for such felted shoes, and even puddles in the presence of rubber galoshes;

• Boots should be moderately soft and elastic, not hard, so as not to chafe the leg. To check felted shoes for cruelty, it is enough to fold the nose of the felt boot to its heel and release it. If this process was easy, the felt boot quickly took on its previous shape, then it good quality... If it bends poorly and recovers poorly, it means that the felt boot is hard and it is better to look for another;

• Real high-quality felt boots should have a smooth and uniform material structure, both inside and outside. No scraps, bumps and other irregularities should stand out on their surface. If such defects are, as they say, "on the face", such self-rollers are unlikely to be worn for a long time;

• Boots made of natural wool should not have an unpleasant odor. A pungent sour smell may indicate that the wool from which they are made was poorly processed (it was poorly washed during the production process or was not washed at all). If you do not want your feet, socks and tights to acquire the same specific smell during the process of wearing, which can even intensify with moisture, you should not purchase such felted shoes. If you hold a lighter fire over natural felt boots, then the wool should emit the smell of a burnt bird feather.

Features of the choice of children's boots

1. Remember well and feel the boots in your hands. If the felt boot is too soft, it will not keep its shape, and if, on the contrary, it is elastic, it will be uncomfortable to walk in it.
2. If the smell of felt boots is unpleasant and harsh, it means that the shoes are made of poorly washed wool, and this is an obvious disadvantage.
3. You can buy such shoes in both natural and bright (unnatural) shades. But in the second case, you should pay attention to the stability of the dye, which is easy to check by running a damp cloth over the surface.
