Children’s leather boots

Kolham, or leather shoes, are like lokpa robes in that they are made of animal skins. The hair must be scraped off completely when making boots. These boots keep the feet warm in cold weather. Monks also wear such boots in winter. The soles of these boots are made of many layers of cloth or leather and the shaft is wide and long. Such boots are not water resistant, so when the boot is soaked with water, it is hard to dry and hard to wear due to its stiffness. The kolham mentioned here is a children’s kolham, which has the same style and is made the same way as other kolhams.
