Woolen spinning and weaving, a wool felting, processing of a leather, shoe making were a common crafts. The Botlikhs had a brisk trade with the Transcaucasia and Northern Caucasus.

Their national clothes were of the Daghestanian type. The complete set of a men's costume included a shirt, trousers, beshmet, the Circassian coat, sheepskin coats and hats and felt cloak. Footwear was made from leather, felts and wood. Women wear a shirt, trousers, a dress, a headdress and scarves.
