The warmest types of footwear are used for everyday wear and tourist purposes.

- artificial;

When choosing any shoe, it is necessary to determine the conditions for its further use and the intended style of clothing. When choosing ankle boots made of genuine leather, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:
- quality of leather and fur dressing;
- reliability of fastening of the material and the clasp;
- uniformity of color;
- the inside of the boots should not have any pronounced scars and seams;
- the sole must be resistant to kinks, and also have a strong adhesive bond or stitching welt to the body of the boot.
But we must remember that the combination of genuine leather and fur is not always the best solution. For example, in conditions where systematic shoe care is not possible, it makes sense to use other warm shoes.
