Autumn is slowly coming into its own, and boots will soon become one of the most popular types of footwear. In addition to the well-known rubber boots, tarpaulin and wading boots are no less in demand. They can help out both in rainy weather and during the harvest season in the country. It is interesting to know a little more about these types of shoes
In 2010, Russians became the happy owners of a very unusual monument - a monument to tarpaulin boots! Bronze boots were installed in the city of Zvezdny in full accordance with the "classics of the genre": solemn speeches, poems and even an orchestra. "Kirzachi" weigh more than forty kilograms and to this day continue to delight the residents of the city. How did this seemingly inconspicuous product deserve such honor?
Is it worth making fun of the monument of the city of Zvezdny? Definitely not! After all, if you think about it, such shoes, which seem simple at first glance, have a rich history and are quite worthy of any “monument in life”. No wonder they are told about in Russian epics and perky ditties - for centuries, boots have been the constant companions of man.
A bit of history
Boots as such are a type of footwear that has a high bootleg. Their history goes back more than one decade. Mentions of boots made of morocco (goat skin) are found in Russian epics. Over the knee boots were especially appreciated during the Baroque era. Soldiers of the Soviet Army were given mainly yuft, chrome and tarpaulin varieties of boots.
This footwear gained the greatest popularity after the invasion of the Turkic nomads. She was used by them for riding. In the old days, few could afford boots, since they were quite expensive. These shoes demonstrated the status of a person in society and, more often than not, his belonging to the aristocracy, and therefore boots were welcome "guests" in every home. Even now it is difficult to imagine life without these wonderful shoes!
Scope of application
Wading boots, tarpaulin boots, galoshes and other products of this kind are nothing more than types of special footwear, which are designed to protect the feet and maximize the comfort of workers of various specialties. But such shoes are very popular not only among narrow-profile specialists, but also among “ordinary citizens” who are fond of fishing, hunting, gardening and other similar activities.
However, tarpaulin boots did not go unnoticed by fashion designers. Eccentric youth, who wants to stand out from the "gray mass", showing individuality, will certainly have more than one pair of shoes of this kind. Therefore, it is not surprising that marsh boots, tarpaulin boots, miners' and other very non-standard products can be seen in the most unexpected places.
Waders
One of the most popular types of safety footwear from various categories is wading boots. This is a type of high waterproof footwear designed for activities in high flood areas and in extreme flood situations. And also - this is the dream of every angler! They protect feet from dampness, plant burns and insect bites.
Swamp boots are made of various materials: PVC, rubber, neoprene, natural rubber, etc. The price is formed depending on the material. The most economical option is PVC or rubber wading boots, but they are not designed for long-term use. Much more expensive are rubber and neoprene boots, which are of excellent quality and remain in good condition for three to five years.
Kirz boots
Kirza is called a dense, durable multilayer fabric with a cotton base. It can be used for the production of a wide variety of products (covers for tablets, laptops, pouches, etc.), but it has gained the greatest popularity in the shoe industry. Kirz boots have already become the talk of the town and are widely known throughout the world.
There are many legends about this type of boots, and disputes about the origin of the material continue to this day. According to some, the word "tarpaulin" is an abbreviation that connects the two abbreviations "Kirovsky" + "plant". There, these products were produced in large quantities. The etymology of the word refers to the dialect of the inhabitants of the Olonets province and is translated as "a layer of frozen ground." But others believe that the word "kirza" nevertheless came from Finland, from the word Kirsi, which means roughly the same thing - "frosty soil".
The main purpose of the listed types of boots is to protect the feet from water, cold, dirt and mechanical stress, with which they do an excellent job and deserve their own monument.
