Since time immemorial, the Mongols have been famous as excellent riders with excellent animal handling skills. For riding, appropriate shoes were needed - with a high top (reaching to the knee), a raised pointed top, and a heel made of durable material.

Traditionally, Mongolians were made of genuine yak leather, and inside they were insulated with dog fur. Shoes should be as comfortable as possible for the rider: due to the well-thought-out heel height and hard back, the foot did not get tired in it for the whole day. And the tucked-up sock was not only a beautiful detail, but also a necessary protection against steppe sand. Mongolian boots were unusually warm shoes, as this was required by the climate of the inhabitants of cold latitudes. These shoes retained heat even at very low temperatures (up to minus 40 degrees), in addition, kept the rider's legs dry.

Skilled craftsmen made boots according to certain rules. Sewed shoes with straight, very strong seams, which added strength to the products. Initially, the boots had neither fasteners nor lacing. They fit snugly to the leg. By the way, the first time the Mongolians wore it wet, right after the craftsmen finished their work - in this case, the shoes took the form of a foot. Note that heels did not interfere with men at all while walking.
