Boots Kuoma

Kuoma is a Finnish shoe brand that for 80 years has managed to gain customer confidence with its quality products, from insoles to modern models of felt boots for all age groups. Valenki is the main product of the company, which enjoys well-deserved popularity not only in cold Scandinavian countries, but also in Russia with its no less snowy and severe winters.

Many specialists are working on creating Kuoma shoes. Every product detail is carefully thought out and tested.

Kuoma felt boots have a textile shaft of increased strength, impregnated with a water and dirt-repellent composition. The toe of the shoe is reinforced with a durable insert made of genuine leather. The side parts have an inner layer of their thin plastic, the purpose of which is to retain heat. Due to the closed-cell construction, plastic does not absorb moisture. And even if you stepped into a snowdrift, boots will dry out literally in a matter of minutes. However, with prolonged exposure to water, the shoes will get wet, since the moisture resistance of these boots is focused only on wet snow.

One of the key advantages of Finnish products is the presence of 3M-Scotchlite reflective strips made from a material that meets European standards. This is especially true in winter with its short daylight hours.

Kuoma felt boots are equipped with a particularly durable and flexible sole. Surprisingly, the grip improves during the wear process, in the very first days after acquiring shoes, it can even glide a little on ice.

Also an important advantage of Finnish brand felt boots is removable insoles, which are enclosed in each box with shoes.Insoles are distinguished by a rough bottom layer, due to which they do not roll underfoot.

Women's boots Kuoma are distinguished by an unusually comfortable elegant shoe; in different models it has a different width.

Another positive feature of Finnish products is double stitching in places most susceptible to abrasion.

It is worth mentioning some of the shortcomings of Kuoma felt boots.

1. They have a fairly wide leg, so too thin legs with them will not look very nice.
2. In children's models, the heel area wears out pretty quickly, especially if the child is very mobile.
3. In a warm room in such boots, the feet sweat, because the material does not imply the presence of a membrane.

Kuoma felt boots are presented in a number of popular models. Kuoma Lumikki is the optimal solution for severe frosts.

Kuoma Lady have the appearance of feminine boots of various colors, the design of which corresponds to modern fashion trends.

Also a very warm and stylish model - Kuoma Crosser, which has two locking Velcro.

Kuoma Universal features a thick polyurethane sole and a natural felt top.

The Finnish brand pays great importance to the children's shoe line (Putkivarsi, Tarravarsi), which is created in accordance with the anatomical features of the children's foot. For small customers, the retro-reflective elements with which boots are equipped are especially relevant. They feel comfortable thanks to the sole with cushioning properties.

Valenoks are convenient for little mods by the fact that you do not need to suffer for a long time with laces or zippers - their shoes require minimal effort. And the snow-protective cuffs are easily pulled by the wings.

The company does not often update the lineup, but recently a novelty appeared - Kuoma Lumikki for teens. Shoes have a special shoe shape - not very wide, rather elegant, different from children's models.

In accordance with the foot length, Kuoma felt boots for adults have a size range from 35 to 50 sizes. As for children's products, this is a range from 16.5 to 37.5. As you can see, this is somewhat different from the usual Russian size. Therefore, when choosing shoes should rely on the length of the foot, comparing it with the length of the insole. Those who neglect this condition run the risk of making a mistake in choosing the right size, especially if the shoes are ordered through an online store.

Initially, Kuoma felt boots were plain in the classic colors of the branch. However, in accordance with the requirements of the time, the brand began to produce products of various colors: from cold pastel to bright and saturated. Neon colors look original and bold. Boots with a variety of prints are popular, patterns on white felt are especially graceful.

Kuoma felt boots are designed for dry frosty weather (temperatures below 5 degrees below zero). They are not intended to be worn in slush, since the seams of the products are not glued and the shoes are not equipped with a membrane. Water-repellent impregnation will protect the shoes from a small amount of water in the form of melted snow, but if you step in puddles, boots will inevitably get wet.

As for socks, wear woolen or cotton products with synthetics (for example, elastane) under the Finnish felt boots. Purely synthetic socks will cause discomfort - “chill” the leg.

Some caring mothers insert another fur insole into their kids' shoes on top of branded felt. However, in properly selected boots, a child, even sitting in a stroller, will have enough dense terry socks.

Since Kuoma felt boots do not have full air exchange (due to the plastic layer), you should not reinsure and wear them to the baby at zero temperature. In addition, some mobile children in these shoes will be hot even at minus five degrees.

If the Finnish boots are slightly dirty, it will be enough to simply wipe them with a soft, damp cloth, and just wash them off the sole under running water.

Most of these textile shoes can be machine washed using the delicate mode. However, if the top is made of polyamide, then only hand washing at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees is desirable. Kuoma felt boots dry very quickly: after evening washing, the items will be dry by morning.

After several washings, do not forget to spray the product to restore water-repellent properties.

Any branded shoes will inevitably try to fake, of course, Kuoma felt boots are no exception. First of all, pay attention to the price: Finnish branded products cannot be suspiciously cheap, especially during the season.

Valenoks must have high-quality neat tailoring, the back and nose insert have a double delay. There is always a quality mark on the shoe’s inner label - the Finnish flag key.

The main proof of the originality of shoes is a certificate of production.

As already mentioned, Kuoma boots have their own characteristic size range. If the shoe shows a figure that does not correspond to the actual value, then this is a fake.

In different shoe stores and stores, the value of Kuoma felt boots varies. But, as a rule, it starts from two thousand rubles. For about the same amount you will purchase products in online stores. The cost of Finnish shoes on the clothing market is slightly lower (1500-2000 rubles), but there is a risk of getting a fake for your money.

Before purchasing any shoes, it will not be superfluous to find out the opinion of other buyers about it. So, reviews about Kuoma felt boots are mixed. Some satisfied consumers praise the products of the Finnish trademark, recommend it to their friends, claiming that it meets all the stated indicators.

According to parents, this shoe is very convenient in that even a two-year-old can wear it on their own. Customers also positively evaluate reflective elements on Finnish products. Children themselves are happy to wear these shoes, because they are very light (due to the textile upper) and comfortable. Parents and children can easily choose the colors they like: bright for girls and restrained for boys.

According to the mothers, an important plus of Kuoma felt boots is that they retain their original presentable appearance even after a couple of active use seasons - the spouts do not stray, the products themselves do not deform.
