“keep your feet warm, your stomach hungry, and your head cool” - Russian proverb My friend Alisa’s Russian winter boot company, Aka Culture Valenki. “valenki are over 300 years old. traditionally they are handmade by Russian peasants; historically they were worn by everybody, from infantry soldiers to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. part of the soldier’s uniform, valenki — some say — are responsible for Hitler’s defeat in Russia during World War II because they warmed the soldiers’ feet during the brutal cold of Russian winter.” I just got a pair for my birthday. If you’re interested, feel free to use the friends discount— fmfrsa5007— which discounts the boots to $75.
