traditional Russian felt boots "walinki"
in Gerd-Ruge-documented, there is a short report on a small company that produces near Moscow yet traditional felt boots. The docu can be read here (but probably only in the next few weeks):

you need to video edit. the part about the boot starts about 32 seconds at min 30.
these boots have originally no extra sewn soles (as some modern copies, you can buy today), but they were really only for the run made to properly cold (not wet) snow.
here are a few links to walinkis:
