In Tibet, Tibetan boots have played an irreplaceable role since ancient times. People also call them pastoral boots. The original boots and shoes are made of cow leather. The thick cow leather is used as the bottom, and the thinner one is used as the surface. The stitching of the bottom and the surface is made of cattle and sheep leather. The front end of the shoe mouth is decorated with cattle and sheep leather with wool. This kind of boots may be said to be the ancestor of Tibetan boots. However, after a long period of development and change, its descendants have become more exquisite, beautiful, reasonable and practical. They can adapt to the needs of herdsmen's production and life under special natural conditions, so they are very popular.

If you can match it with Tibetan boots, it's enough.
