[Cz-L] Valinky and Kufaika

http://static5.depositphotos.com/1000597/516/i/450/dep_5164150-Valenki---russian-felt-boots.jpg
Valinky come probably from Siberia.
  You wear them two or more numbers oversize.
   The excess space filled out with rags or newspapers.
    The Russian put on a deer leather napkin. No socks.
     Air is the best heat isolator.
     Very warm but not good for dancing.
     Valinky go best with Kufaika coats.
