Kuoma is a Finnish shoe brand that for 80 years has managed to win the trust of customers with its high-quality products, ranging from insoles to modern models of felt boots for all age groups. Valenki is the main product of the company, which is deservedly popular not only in cold Scandinavian countries, but also in Russia with its not less snowy and severe winters.

Composition and characteristics

Many specialists are working on the creation of Kuoma shoes. Every detail of the product is carefully thought out and tested.

Kuoma boots have a high-strength textile tops, impregnated with water and dirt-repellent composition. The sock of the shoe is reinforced with a durable insert made of genuine leather. The side parts have an inner layer of thin plastic, the purpose of which is to keep warm. Due to the closed-cell design, plastic does not absorb moisture. And even if you came in a snowdrift, the boots would dry out in just a few minutes. However, if you stay in the water for a long time, your shoes will get wet, since the moisture resistance of these boots is focused only on wet snow.

One of the key advantages of Finnish products is the presence of 3M-Scotchlite reflective strips of material that meets European standards. This is especially true in the winter with its short daylight hours.

Kuoma boots are equipped with a particularly strong and flexible sole. It is surprising that the grip improves in the process of wearing, in the very first days after purchasing shoes, it can even slide a little on the ice.

Also an important advantage of the boots of the Finnish brand - interchangeable insoles, which are enclosed in each box with shoes. Insoles are characterized by a rough bottom layer, due to which they do not roll under your feet.

Kuoma women's felt boots are distinguished by an unusually comfortable elegant shoe, in different models it has a different width.

Another positive feature of Finnish products is double-stitching in places most prone to abrasion.

It is worth mentioning some of the shortcomings of Kuoma felt boots.

  1. They have a fairly wide leg, so too thin legs with them will not look very nice.
  2. In children's models, the heel area will wear out pretty quickly, especially if the child is very mobile.
  3. In a warm room in these boots, feet sweat, because the material does not imply the presence of a membrane.

Types and models

Kuoma boots are presented in a number of popular models. Kuoma Lumikki - the optimal solution for severe frosts.

Kuoma Lady have the appearance of feminine boots of various colors, the design of which corresponds to modern fashion trends.

Also very warm and stylish model - Kuoma Crosser, which has two fixing velcro.

Kuoma Universal is distinguished by a thick polyurethane sole and a top made of natural felt.

The Finnish brand attaches great importance to the children's shoe line (Putkivarsi, Tarravarsi), which is created in accordance with the anatomical features of the children's foot. Reflecting elements with which felt boots are especially relevant for young customers. They feel comfortable thanks to the sole with shock-absorbing properties.

Valenoks are convenient for little mods because you don’t need to suffer for a long time with laces or lightning - their shoes require minimal effort. And the snow protection cuff is easily tightened with wings.

The company does not update the model line as often, but recently a new product appeared - Kuoma Lumikki for teenagers.Footwear has a special form of pads - not very wide, quite elegant, different from children's models.

Dimensions

In accordance with the length of the foot, Kuoma boots for adults have a size range from 35 to 50 sizes. As for children's products, this is the range from 16.5 to 37.5. As you can see, this is in some way different from the usual Russian sizes. Therefore, when choosing shoes should be based on the length of the foot, comparing it with the length of the insole. Those who neglect this condition risk to make a mistake in choosing the right size, especially if the shoes are ordered through the online store.

It is advisable to buy winter shoes for a child with a small margin (one and a half centimeters), because when he comes all the way, his fingers should not squeeze his boots with a cape. If you buy boots in the shoe salon, then do not be lazy to make in advance the preparation of the foot, corresponding to its length.

Colour

Initially, Kuoma felt boots were monotonous classical colors of the branch. However, in accordance with the requirements of the time, the brand began to produce products of various tones: from cold pastel to bright and saturated. Original and bold look neon colors. Valenki with a various print are popular, especially the patterns on white felt look graceful.

How to wear?

Kuoma boots are designed for dry frosty weather (temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius). They are not designed to be slurred, since the seams of the products are not glued and the shoes are not equipped with a membrane. Water repellent will protect your shoes from a small amount of water in the form of melted snow, but if you step in puddles, felt boots will inevitably get wet.

As for socks, wear wool or cotton products with the addition of synthetics (for example, elastane) under Finnish boots. Pure synthetic socks will cause discomfort - “cool” the foot.

Some caring mothers insert into the shoes of their babies another fur insoles on top of branded felted ones. However, in properly selected boots, a child, even sitting in a wheelchair, will have enough thick terry socks.

Since Kuoma boots do not have full-fledged air exchange (due to the plastic layer), you should not reinsure and put them on the baby at zero temperature. In addition, some moving children in this shoe will be hot even at minus five degrees.

How to care and wash in a washing machine?

If the Finnish boots have a little pollution, it will be enough just to wipe them with a soft damp cloth, and just wash the sole with a stream of water.

Most of this textile footwear can be washed in a typewriter using a delicate mode. However, if the top is made of polyamide, then only hand wash is desirable at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. Kuoma felt boots dry very quickly: after the evening wash, the products will be dry by the morning.

After several washes, do not forget to spray the products with an aerosol to restore water-repellent properties.

How to distinguish a fake?

Any brand shoes will inevitably try to fake, of course, Kuoma boots is no exception. First of all, pay attention to the price: Finnish branded products can not be suspiciously cheap, especially in season.

Valenoks should have a high-quality tailoring, the back and the nasal insert have a double delay. The quality label on the inner label of the shoe is necessarily the Finnish key-flag.

The main proof of the originality of shoes is a certificate for products.

As already mentioned, Kuoma boots have their own characteristic size range. If the shoe has a figure that does not correspond to the actual value, then you have a fake.

Cost of

In various shoe shops and shops, the cost of Kuoma boots varies. But, as a rule, it starts from two thousand rubles. For about the same amount you purchase products in online stores.The cost of Finnish footwear in the clothing market is somewhat lower (1,500–2,000 rubles), but there is a risk to get a fake for your money.

Reviews

Before purchasing any shoes, it will not be superfluous to know the opinion of her other buyers. So, reviews of felt boots Kuoma ambiguous. Some satisfied consumers praise the products of the Finnish brand, recommend it to their friends, arguing that it meets all the stated indicators.

According to parents, this shoe is very comfortable because even a two-year-old kid can wear it. Also, buyers positively appreciate the reflective elements on Finnish products. The children themselves are happy to wear these shoes, because they are very light (due to the textile upper) and comfortable. It is easy for parents and children to choose a color that they like: bright for girls and discreet for boys.

As the mothers say, an important plus Kuoma boot is that they retain their original, presentable appearance even after a couple of seasons of active exploitation - the nozzles do not get off, the products themselves are not deformed.
