I bought also it at a souvenir shop that sold Crafts at the international airport.
The pattern on the slippers is “Arakhchi” which I wrote about in the article below.
The product name was “felt slippers shireest”. It’s 14 US$ (47,264 MNT, 2197 JPY).
Slippers are made using felt, which is famous in Mongolia as a raw material for crafts.
The main raw material for Mongolian felt products is sheep wool. Sheep are often raised by nomadic tribes.
Sheep’s wool is used for clothing and household items, and is used to cover yurts (mobile cone-shaped dwellings).
The reason why wool is so commonly used in Mongolian life is that it is a cold country.
The characteristics of wool products are as follows.
- Excellent heat retention
- Excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties
- Excellent deodorizing and antibacterial properties
- Excellent elasticity
From the above, you can see that it is a raw material that can be used in cold situations.
It can be said that wool has material properties that can be utilized to the fullest for slippers.
The good thing about these slippers is that the part that makes contact with the ground is covered with leather.
The edges are covered with a hard cloth to prevent the felt from fraying and breaking.
The leg openings are covered with cloth, but I like that they are made of leather that is not too hard. It’s not oddly shaped, so it’s easy to put your feet in.
