What is the secret of the popularity of Filipok felt boots? These are practical, beautiful, comfortable and warm shoes. What else do you need in winter?
Felt boots "Filipok" are designed for the most severe Russian frosts. By purchasing these shoes, mothers and fathers can be firmly convinced that the legs of children will always remain warm. In the manufacture of shoes exclusively natural materials are used, therefore, even with a long walk, the "greenhouse" effect is completely eliminated. The legs will not freeze or sweat.
When sewing boots, natural felt and sheep wool are used. The molded sole is made of polyurethane according to the Anti-slip system, which prevents slipping and falling on ice. For added comfort and practicality, the front of the boot is fitted with a leather insert. This will protect the leg from getting wet, and the felt boot from premature abrasion and wear. In addition, a leather toe gives the model an additional appeal.
Another advantage of boots is their full compliance with the recommendations of orthopedists and pediatricians. After all, correctly selected shoes are the key to the correct formation of the foot. And this is very important when it comes to a growing child’s body.
Shoes should be comfortable.Especially winter, when the felt boots are worn on warm tights and socks, here every detail should be thought out to the smallest detail.
Comfortable shoe - one of the undoubted advantages of felt boots “Filipok”. The high rise of a felt boot and a wide bootleg make it easy to wear these shoes even for children with a wide leg. A woolen insole with a thickness of 3.5 mm will help maintain heat inside the felt boot even at the lowest air temperature. Some models for extra warming have a sheepskin lining.
It is very difficult for children, especially small ones, to cope with a complex fastener. The curved zipper allows you to fasten your felt boots easily and quickly.
Valenoks are of medium height, so they are perfectly combined with different clothes: tights, leggings, warm pants, overalls, etc.
With traditional Russian shoes, modern felt boots retained a similarity, perhaps, only in the main material and title. Outwardly, today's felt boots resemble, rather, beautiful, stylish boots. Largely due to interesting decor options, bright colors, original models, etc.
The Filipok trademark offers the richest choice of various models for girls and boys of different age. Valenoks are designed for different weather conditions. Thin felt felt boots are quite enough for regions with warm winters. In areas with harsh winters, you can not do without warmed models with natural sheepskin inside and trimmed with rich fur trim on the outside.
As for decorative design, its diversity makes it easy to choose a beautiful model for every taste. Felt boots for babies are most often decorated with snowflakes, Christmas trees, boats, cars, toys, flowers and funny animals.
For older children, boots are decorated with leather straps, inserts from other materials, beautiful embroidery, floral ornaments, etc.
In addition to applications and embroidery, boots are often decorated with fur pompoms, bows, lacing, contrasting color fur, metal jewelry, etc.
The color scheme of boots is also quite diverse. Practical, restrained colors come to the fore: gray, beige, navy blue, black. There are brighter, more saturated colors: lingonberry, pink, orange.
How to choose according to size?
When buying boots for the first time, it is best to find out in advance how shoes should fit exactly in size.
- Valenoks should be easily put on and removed.
- When walking, boots should not fall off their feet.
- In the gap between the heel of the child and the back wall of the boots, the finger of an adult should fit freely.
- When walking, fingers should touch the front of the felt boots.
Incorrectly chosen shoes (too tight or too loose) not only interfere with the child's walking and cause discomfort, but also cause disturbances in the formation and development of the foot.
To determine the correct size, you need to circle the foot of the child on a sheet of paper. Then, to the result obtained, add 1.2 cm (“for growth” and margin for a warm toe). Then compare this figure with the dimensional grid and select the closest size.
It is dangerous to make too much stock "for growth". The leg freely dangling in the felt boot is not fixed, and this can lead to injuries when walking or running. The child has to constantly raise his fingers to keep the boots on his leg. This leads to a constant stress of the foot, the child gets tired, and the walk does not give any positive emotions, except fatigue and irritation.
Too tight shoes lead to constant pain, impaired gait, posture. Moreover, narrow felt boots squeeze the vessels of the legs, and therefore it seems that the shoes are too cold and the feet in it are constantly freezing.
