Perm Factory Releases Boots for Cat That Conquered Manpupuner
A Perm factory created hiking boots named after the adventurous cat Milady.
The Perm footwear factory «Trek» has released hiking boots called «Milady» in honor of a cat that travels across the country. Her owner, blogger Anatoly Yerokhovets, told 59.RU how he travels with his furry pet and how they are preparing to conquer Everest.
The «Trek» factory was founded in 2004 in Perm and has two production lines: footwear and sewing. The factory«s main assortment includes ski boots, skates, hiking footwear, and sports shoes made of natural leather, as well as tubes and sleds.
The news about the new development from «Trek» was published by the Ministry of Tourism of Perm Krai. It was reported that the «Trek» footwear factory and traveler blogger from Sverdlovsk Oblast Anatoly Yerokhovets have created a joint project — a limited series of hiking boots named «Milady». That is the name of the blogger«s black cat, which travels everywhere with her owner.
«Milady» — Boots for Women
The «Milady» boots are designed for women, with the highlight of this model being a «paw print» imprint on the shin part. The footwear has a membrane that retains heat, a sole with anti-slip tread, and hardware with anti-corrosion coating.
The main feature of these boots is the cat paw print on the shin part.
A representative of the «Trek» footwear factory, Alexander Katlamin, told 59.RU that the idea to release a new collection of hiking boots emerged after Anatoly Yerokhovets participated in recording the factory«s podcast.
»He leads tourist groups. We talked with him about how there are often many girls in tourist groups, literally 15 out of 20 people,« noted the interlocutor. »During the conversation, the idea was born that we could create women«s hiking boots.»
The boots will be produced in various colors. The factory says that they have already received their first orders.
Cat Milady — Conqueror of 12 Peaks
Milady«s owner Anatoly Yerokhovets told 59.RU that the black beauty came into his life in 2021. The blogger saw an advertisement for a Scottish Fold kitten being given away »to a good home« and decided to take the little one for himself.
Anatoly himself is constantly traveling, so soon the young kitten became his partner in hikes. Our colleagues from E1.RU reported on this friendly tandem.
In a conversation with a 59.RU correspondent, Anatoly Yerokhovets shared that Milady has traveled with him even to the Manpupuner weathering pillars and covered 240 kilometers with him. Milady has conquered 12 Ural peaks, tackled the Dyatlov Pass, and climbed the Altai mountains three times.
Milady and her owner Anatoly are shown at the Manpupuner weathering pillars.
On hikes, the cat follows her owner; when she gets tired or cold, Anatoly tucks her inside his jacket. Once, Milady ran away in the mountains. Anatoly marked the trail and went to look for her. After five hours, Milady returned to the spot on her own, as if nothing had happened.
«The most unforgettable trip with her was probably to Manpupuner. It took us 10 days to get there, and it rained for eight days,» recalls the interlocutor. «The weather was a complete mess, of course, I carried her under my jacket. And the Altai taught her not to be afraid of water because there are many rivers and bridges there. When we camp overnight, she loves it, meaning she can run around all night and then come back in the early morning to sleep.»
In April or May 2026, Anatoly plans to go to Everest with Milady, and he also dreams of traveling to the Subpolar Urals and the Caucasus.
