Valenki Boots

To Russia with Love

The 300-year-old line of Russian footwear — originally used by peasants — is making a comeback. The boots, a cross between galoshes and Uggs, have removable rubber on the bottom and an inch to a quarter-inch of wool throughout, which means they could keep your feet warm even in Antarctic temps. They are suitable for men, women, and children and come in neutrals like black, brown, and gray, so they’re as flattering as they are functional. And if you fancy your booties a bit shorter, just take a knife and whack them down to size (seriously). If only there were such simple solutions for your other problems.
