• Валенки (plural)
[va-len-ki]
• Валенок (masc.noun)
[va-le-nok]
🇬🇧 Valenki or felt boots
🔻 Valenki are traditional Russian winter footwear, essentially felt boots: the name 'валенок' literally means "made by felting".
🔻They are not water-resistant, and are often worn with 'галоши' (galoshes) to protect the soles from wear and moisture.
🔻The origin of valenki has been speculated to trace back to the traditional felt boots worn by nomads of the Great Steppe (including Southern Rus').
🔻The first modern valenki appeared in the early eighteenth century and became more widespread as Russian industrialization progressed, becoming cheaper and more accessible.
🔻Nowadays valenki are becoming more and more popular due to their ability to keep warm during strong frosts (minus 40'C), and the popularity of Russian trend.
❗There are some online shops which can offer you a wide variety of modern valenki! Сheck the link here ⬅️.
