What are shoe boots for?

Before you begin to sew stockings in boots, you need to understand why they are needed and why shoes are sold on the market without them?

1. Protect the inside of the shoe from moisture.
2. Create additional conditions of comfort (warmth, convenience).
3. Do not constrain movement.
4. Practical to use.

Important! Often they are sold separately, since in the kit their value is minimal, and the seller receives practically nothing from the sale. The cost of such felt boots is affected by the material from which they are sewn, so it happens that instead of one pair of boots with inserts, you can buy two pairs, but without any additions.

What are shoe inserts made of?

For the production of shoe stockings, both natural raw materials (sheepskin, wool) and artificial (synthetic material) are used. Product quality directly depends on the material. For example, wool has excellent heat preservation properties and a maximum level of wear resistance. And with synthetics the opposite is true - the cheaper the raw materials, the worse the quality of the future product.

Important! Synthetic stockings do not allow air to pass through, poorly absorb moisture. From this we can conclude that they need constant care. And people who work as foresters and in road repair services are primarily puzzled by work rather than shoe polishing. Therefore, it is recommended to buy and sew insulation from high-quality, natural materials.

Additional recommendations

Fabric tabs, like many other products, cannot last forever. However, with proper use and familiarization with a few tips, you still manage to extend their life. Consider the recommendations in more detail:

1. Sew additional pieces of fabric to the heels on finished products, since the heel is the most vulnerable spot on socks, felt boots, stockings.
2. Sew the details of the pattern in a zigzag seam - it is the most reliable.
3. Wash them with ordinary laundry soap without adding acidic compounds.
4. After washing, dry under natural conditions (preferably outdoors).

Important! If your product is made from natural raw materials, it is recommended to wash it by hand or in a washing machine programmed for “gentle washing”.
