Warm and practical felt boots are a lifesaver in cold weather. Modern models embroidered with decorative elements have long become a stylish trend in the fashion world. Unfortunately, the material from which they are made is not particularly durable. The first thing that wears out is the sole. If you want to extend the life of your favorite shoes, the question arises of how to hem felt boots by doing it yourself.

Moreover, if in a night vision you heard a Russian song about these shoes, then this only speaks of nostalgia for the past and in no way affects the future. In any case, putting on felt boots and wearing them on your feet will bring profit and good luck.
Tips for caring for the product
In winter, when the weather is accompanied by a lot of precipitation, you should wear galoshes over felt boots.

When entering a room, felt boots should be cleared of adhering snow. You can put clean newspaper in them so that it absorbs excess moisture.
When wearing galoshes, due to strong friction, a tear may form at the heel, which is sewn up with thick threads. To avoid its appearance, it is recommended to hem the heels with a piece of leather.

Interpretation according to Miller
Miller's dream book gives felt boots a very unusual interpretation. If you dreamed that you were trying them on, it means that your plan will be successful.
If the chuni turn out to be a little small or unsightly in appearance, the dream book believes that you will have to work hard to achieve the goal. If you had to look for a pair of shoes, then in reality you will be looking for a way out of a certain situation.
The only negative thing comes from a dream in which you dreamed that you personally threw your felt boots in the trash - in this case, get ready for quarrels and showdowns with your family.
The easiest way
A modern and quick method is to glue the felt insole to the sole using a glue gun. A felt insole can be purchased at the store. It should be slightly larger than the foot of a felt boot. For repairs you will need a hot glue gun.
Gluing must be done with a slight approach to the heel and toe.
The process consists of two stages. Hot glue is evenly distributed on the felt sole, after which the workpiece is glued. For a stronger connection, you can coat both surfaces to be joined with glue. The main advantage of hot melt adhesive is its versatility. It is capable of gluing various materials. Disadvantages include the loss of strength that occurs with prolonged walking.
Appearance and color
The dream book believes that one can judge the near future by the appearance and color of felt boots. By the way, the dream will come true exactly if you had it on Monday.
Why do you dream about the cute white high boots that you see on your own feet? You are guaranteed success in any endeavor, and life, as they say, will be a full cup.
If young girls had a dream, then a marriage proposal may soon await them. If a woman had to buy white felt boots herself in a dream, then she will choose a worthy groom from many applicants.
But for a man to see a gray chuni is not very good. The dream book believes that in reality someone is trying to show him in an unsightly light in front of others. But wearing a black shoe is a good sign for everyone. The dream book promises a pleasant trip and meetings with friends.
When interpreting detailed dreams, you should definitely take into account that white felted boots always bring positivity, especially if they were given to you.
If you yourself gave someone such a gift, then probably in the real world there are some ideas that you are not able to implement. By the way, felt boots with galoshes symbolize complete protection from troubles and failures.
Interpretation of Vanga
If a person in a dream takes out felt boots from a closet, chest or pantry, then this promises him a fun holiday in a pleasant company or a trip. Especially favorable are dreams where shoes were inherited, for example, from a grandmother or grandfather - this speaks of the patronage of the family.
But torn shoes do not bode well: it usually promises serious illnesses, the extent of which can be determined by the condition of the felted shoes. Dirty products are a harbinger of losses and gossip.
The most cherished wish will come true in a short time for those who saw a beautiful pair of shoes.
Felt boots are a symbol of home and family, and if you dream about them, then you should pay attention to your relatives. Maybe it is at this moment that they need support and care.

The dreamer's actions
Why else do you dream about felt boots, your actions in the dream will tell you. For example, seeing felt boots on a shelf that you yourself hid is considered a very symbolic sign. Most likely, you are driving away some thoughts from yourself or avoiding solving the problem.
A dream in which you gave a warm blanket to another person has a similar meaning. Unfortunately, all problems will remain a dead weight if you do not take immediate action. But the dream in which you bought felt boots to wear them personally can be considered prophetic. It brings improvements in all areas of life.
Stages of work
Hemming felt boots with your own hands involves performing step-by-step actions. Before starting work, you should prepare the thread and the necessary tools. Safety precautions should be provided.
A respirator or mask will prevent lint from entering your airways.
Selecting Tools
When preparing for the sewing process, an important point is the choice of thread. You can purchase special threads designed for shoemaking. However, there is a way to make them yourself. To do this, you need to twist several silk or gray threads. They should then be waxed using substances such as paraffin, wax or soap. The thread is pulled through this material and it is covered with a protective layer. You can also use fishing line for hemming.
Tools you will need:
- Awl. It is necessary to make holes through which the thread will pass.
- Shoe hook. Reminiscent of a knitting knife, but made of durable steel and sharpened.
- Knife. The blade should end with a sharp end.
- Scissors.
Auxiliary materials include chalk or a piece of soap to create the contour of the sole.

How to make a shoe stitch correctly
To hem felt boots, it is necessary to perform the shoe stitch competently and carefully. Sequencing:
- Mark the seam line. It should extend at least 5 cm from the edge of the sole.
- The awl should be inserted into the place of the sole where the first stitch should be. You need to pierce from the outside in.
- Fold the thread in half. Apply the resulting loop to the hole made inside the felt boot.
- Pass the shoe hook through the outer hole.
- Place a loop on the hook.
- Pull the loop out.
- Make a second hole after 5-7 cm.
- Pass the hook through it from the outside to the inside.
- Throw the loop inside the felt boot over it.
- Pull the loop out.
- Pull the end of the thread remaining from the first stitch into it.
- Tighten the loop.
- Make a third hole and repeat the previous operations.
Upon completion of the process, the seam should be secured. To do this you need to make a few stitches back. Then tie the thread and cut it, leaving a small end.
It is better to keep the stitches short. This will ensure the strength of the connection.
Preparation
It is better to hem not completely new felt boots, but already worn ones with a formed mark. To prepare the material, the old felt boots from which the sole will be cut should be cut in half with a sharp knife to obtain a flat surface.
You should place a felt boot in need of repair on the selected material, trace its sole with chalk or soap, obtaining the outline of the future sole. Using a sharp knife, cut out the resulting pattern, retreating 5 mm from the edges to obtain an allowance. On the heel and toe, the margin should be a little larger. After fitting, use the pattern to create a second outsole. If you want to make a thicker sole, you can glue them in pairs or connect two identical parts and stitch them.

Binder
The cut piece should be basted to the sole. For convenience, draw a line on the outsole along which the seam will be laid. The thread for hemming is taken 4 times longer than the future line. First, stitches are made on the heel and toe, and the tightness of the fit is checked. This determines how well the sole fits. First, a puncture is made in the front part and the thread is pulled out with a crochet hook. A second loop is created nearby. The cut loops are tightly tied together. Then the heel is basted in the same way.
Sewing is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- Punch a hole with an awl at the site of the first stitch.
- Place your left hand inside the felt boot.
- Pull half of the measured thread through the hole using a hook.
- Punch holes along the entire outline.
- When pulling out the loops, pull the free edge of the thread through them with a crochet hook and tighten, getting a stitch.
To make felt boots comfortable to wear, you can add a small heel to them. To do this, using the made pattern, the heel is cut out and sewn on according to the same principle. You can sew a leather piece onto the back.
Secondary firmware at some distance from the first will give greater strength.
