Annotation:

A distinctive feature of Kashgar's clothing, especially that of young women, is a penchant for bright colors. This particularly applies to footwear. Elegant red cloth boots with high heels and horseshoe heels are completely covered with geometric and floral embroidery in multicolored silk threads. A long, dense "comb" of red silk thread adorns the vamp, complemented by appliqués of finely crafted green leather.
