Misinformation edit
"In Latvia any sneakers are still called botas after the Czech footwear company Botas, whose produce was one of the few foreign brands of sneakers available during the Soviet occupation." As a Latvian, I can surely say that this sentence is inacurate. This is just funny, because nobody says like that not now not in the past. Botas (latv. botes) are called so rather because of the russian word boots (рус. боты) corresponding to any type of heavy or warm winter boots. 87.110.58.117 (talk) 17:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
