In the USSR, burkas were less common than valenki. And not least because of the higher cost and complexity of production. Since the late 1960s, this type of shoe has gradually gone out of fashion. But today burkas, decorated with embroidery, application and inserts of leather, are again gaining popularity.
Chuvyaks call soft open leather shoes without heels, which have long been worn by both men and women in the Caucasus and in the Crimea.
Coming from the South, vacationers often brought similar models. And today they are produced mainly as work shoes, as well as for folklore ensembles.
Farewell to Youth Bots! The Soviet shoe factories carried out and carried out the plan year after year. The industry produced millions (257 million in 1954) of pairs of shoes, but when he came to the shoe store with the hope of buying sports shoes, the young man often found only dull bots with the sarcastic name “Goodbye, youth!”

Soft bots were popular with older people with arthritis, because they were much more comfortable to wear than hard leather shoes. Maybe that's where the name comes from.
In general, the word bots endowed with an amazing variety of meanings. In addition to special computer programs, almost any demi-season shoes are called so. In the USSR, for example, rubber bots (bots) were popular, which were worn over shoes in wet slush weather.
From ordinary galoshes, they were distinguished by a high height, sometimes the presence of a cloth top and fasteners. Even models with high heels were produced. It remained only to put them on model shoes and you could safely go to the neighboring village for a disco.
