Annotation:

Men’s hunting footwear with tall tops of harbor seal skin, fur outside. The sole is sandal-like, of bearded seal skin, fur inside, with edges turned up. A leather strip inserted in the seam between the top and sole made the footwear impregnable. The footwear is fastened on the leg with long belts both sides of the sole and a passing braid in the upper part of the top. Abstract by V.V. Gorbacheva
