Mongolian boots, known as gutal, are ideal for horse riding. They are spacious and the slightly upturned noses prevent the boots from being caught in stirrups in case the rider falls off his horse. The upturned noses leave enough air space to prevent the feet from getting cold in winter. Stiff and high shafts protect the wearer when walking in Summer's high grass or Winter's deep snow.
There are different types of boots used for different seasons and purposes. Normal high heeled soft boots, called boitog, are used mostly for hunting or long walking trips. In winter a fur cover, called degtii is put over the boots. The boots' heels can be soft or hard, low or high depending on the nature of their use.
Traditional boots are usually worn with felt socks made to the boots' shape. The upper part of the socks that come out of the boots are usually embroidered with silk, leather, various ornaments and applications.
Boots are made of the skin of cattle or, in special cases, skin of such wild animals as deer, wild goat or sheep. Shoe making is a long and tedious process and traditionally a female duty.
This special pair of boots are made using realistic Mongolian pattern texture, leather and fur covered with exquisite silk.

Great Boots, but I wish they were Copiable
The boots are fully resizable with a deletable resize script. Even though they are not modifiable for tint, the color they come in is good, like a faded red brocade. I especially like the little turned up toe tip, which makes them look really Mongolian. Great Deal for $L 50, though copiable boots would've been even nicer.
