How to choose boots

Before proceeding with the rating, we will decide what to look for when choosing felt boots.

2. Felt. The material must be dense and not less than 4 mm thick. Inside the traditional boots there is no additional insulating linings. Felt itself shows its qualities, in which you are guaranteed maximum heat in severe frosts.
3. Colour. Natural pure wool felt boots can have shades from white to dark gray. Bright colors are obtained by dyeing with chemical dyes, thus reducing their environmental friendliness and safety.
