Noun

 * 1)  old-style boot or rugged shoe

Etymology
. Obscure etymology:
 * Per Vasmer, from, compare 'wind instrument', 'pipe'. The modern Russian сапо́г means shoes with a high top, what explains the similarity with the pipe. This etymology encounters phonetic difficulties if we take into account сопе́ть (sopet') as a source, because Old East Slavic or Old Church Slavonic don't have the form *сопогъ.
 * Per Menges, Vahros and Trubachyov, from Turkic languages, compare Proto-Turkic *sараɣ-, *sарuɣ- 'shafted shoes', modern Turkic sap 'stem'. This etymology has the same phonetic problems as Vasmer's etymology. In this case, it should be *сопагъ (compare from Turkic tavar or  from Turkic kalpak) or *сопугъ. Semantic difficulties also arise, in Old Church Slavonic it means 'sandals', 'shoes with tops no higher than the ankles', Turkic source originally suggests high-top shoes.
 * Per Lvov, from 'to tie, to bind'. According to Lvov and Semyonov, the original meaning is 'puttee, shoes, sandals',  compare dialectal  'fetters', colloquial  'tie in a knot'. In this case сапо́г from.

Noun

 * 1) boot
