From time immemorial, the Mongols were known for being excellent riders who had excellent animal handling skills. For riding was necessary appropriate shoes - with a high shaft (reaching the knee), a raised pointed top, with a heel, made of durable material.

Subsequently, the name “Mongolian boots” (or “Mongolians”) stuck to these products.

Traditionally, the Mongols made of natural yak leather, and insulated with dog fur from the inside. The shoes should have been as comfortable as possible for the rider: due to the thought-out height of the heel and the stiff heel, the foot did not tire of it all day long. A tucked sock was not only a beautiful detail, but also the necessary protection from the steppe sand. Mongolian boots were unusually warm shoes, because this was demanded by the climate of the inhabitants of cold latitudes. This shoe kept it warm even at very low temperatures (down to minus 40 degrees), and also kept the rider's feet dry.

Skilled craftsmen made boots according to certain rules. They sewed shoes with straight, very strong seams, which gave strength to the products. Initially, the boots did not have any zippers or lacing. To the leg, they fit snugly. By the way, the first time the Mongols wore wet, immediately after the masters finished their work - in this case, the shoes took the form of feet. Note that the heels did not in the least interfere with men while walking.
