Designed to combat the extremely cold Russian winters, valenki were normally made from thick felt.[1] The term was later applied to women’s boots in leather that appeared in the second decade of the 20th Century. In the 19th and early 20th Centuries, ankle and calf-length boots were common footwear for women. Today[edit] Ukrainian folk costume featuring red leather Russian boots See also[edit] Boot.
