Russian term or phrase: женские полуботинки
Do these differ in any significant way from 'tufli'? Basically, I have several general categories of footwear, and one of them is "zhenskiye polubotinki, tufli, tufli letnye". I am wondering if zhenskiye polubotinki and tufli should both be translated simply as 'women's shoes'.
