Viltsaapad “Hüvasti, noorus!” / Felt boots “Bye-bye, youth!”

Viltsaapad on inspireeritud 60ndatel aastatel Nõukogude Liidus välja töötatud jalatsimudelist.

Kerge ja paindliku polüuretaantallaga, soojast vildist pealismaterjali ja pehmest kunstvillast voodriga saapad said laiemalt tuntuks hüüdnimega “Hüvasti, noorus”. Ilmselt tekkis nimi mugavate saabaste suurest populaarsusest vanemaealise elanikkonna hulgas. Tegelikkuses kandsid nõukogude aja totaalse defitsiidi tingimustes neid saapaid nii lapsed, noored kui keskealised.

Muidu lakoonilistele saabastele lisasid moeteadlikumad kandjad toona särtsu kootud pitsiliste sääristega või rahvusmustrites villaste sokkide ning sukkadega.
Järgnevatel aastakümnenditel hakati lihtsakoelisi viltsaapaid kaunistama ilupaelte ja erineva laiusega samettriipudega, varieeruma hakkas saapasääre kõrgus.

Vaatamata muutuvatele trendidele on need mugavad ja soojad saapad oma pisut hipsterliku stiiliga kantavad tänapäevalgi.

Sobivad tuppa ja õue, hommikul tervisesuplema või õhtul üle õue sauna minekuks. Alpidesse ja Munamäele. Niiskuskindla spreiga üle lastes saab ka sulalumes hakkama. Tald ei jäta põrandale musti triipe.

Universaalne mudel sobib nii naistele kui meestele. Väiksemad numbrid on mustriliste ilukantidega, suuremad ühevärviliste ilukantidega.
Saapa kõrgus on olenevalt suurusest 17-20 cm. Kontsa kõrgus 3 cm.

Felt boots are inspired by a footwear model developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s.

The boots, with a light and flexible polyurethane sole, warm felt upper and soft artificial wool lining, became widely known by the nickname “Goodbye, youth”. The name likely arose from the great popularity of comfortable boots among the elderly population. However, in the conditions of total shortage in the Soviet era, these boots were worn by children, young people and middle-aged adults alike.
Fashion-conscious individuals of the time added a touch of flair to these otherwise simple boots by pairing them with higher lace-knit leg warmers or woolen socks featuring traditional patterns.
In the following decades, the plain felt boots began to be decorated with ornamental ribbons and velvet stripes of varying widths, and the height of the boot shaft started to vary.

Despite changing trends, these comfortable and warm boots, with their slightly hipster aesthetic, continue to be worn today.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use – perfect for a morning dip or an evening walk to the sauna. Ideal for both the Alps and Munamägi. When treated with a water-repellent spray, they can handle slushy snow as well. The sole does not leave dark marks on the floor.

A universal model suitable for both women and men. Smaller sizes feature decorative patterned trims, while larger sizes come with solid-colored trims.
Boot height varies between 17–20 cm depending on size. Heel height is 3 cm.
