How to choose shoes?

For the cold season, warm and reliable shoes are required. Among the many models for the winter, shoes stand out - a shorter, more comfortable alternative to boots, which can be easily combined with skirts, shorts and dresses, as well as with the office style.

It is very important to choose the right shoes so that they meet all the requirements and can last a long time. To do this, pay attention to the material from which the shoes are made.

There is a certain list of rules by which we choose shoes.

• First of all, you need to determine the type of shoes: heels (low or high), with fur, with spikes on the soles, for sports events, on a flat sole. The choice of model depends on the style of clothing and on the occasion - where it will be shoes.

• Winter is famous for its icy conditions, so winter shoes should have a stable sole or heel - the ribbed surface of the sole will help to remain on your feet even on the most slippery road.

• The sole should be thick enough so that the foot in the boot does not freeze.

• The material from which the shoes are made is a very important factor for the durability and thermal abilities of the shoes. Natural materials are preferred - leather, suede, fur, but the leader, of course, is genuine leather.

• To distinguish natural from artificial material, find the unbroken part of the boot: a leather substitute has a fabric base, while a natural one does not. In addition, a piece of leather material in the form of a brand name of a brand is attached to genuine leather shoes.

• Another way to distinguish natural from artificial material is to press a little toe on the boot.If the material quickly straightens, then this is genuine leather; if a dent remains, then this is an artificial material. In addition, a pleasant smell comes from genuine leather, and it remains warm for a long time. Artificial leather, as a rule, emits cold.

• Suede shoes are very warm, but need careful and regular maintenance. If the choice is limited to suede boots, you must remember that this material is extremely dislike reagents and dirt on the road. From this, the material loses its color and erases. The best option for wearing suede boots is the use of shoes to find most of the time in the car.

• The inside of the shoes should consist of natural fur - then the leg in such shoes will not freeze. Faux fur does not create full comfort for the foot - it either freezes it, or, on the contrary, creates too hot an environment due to which the foot heats up and sweats. It is not difficult to determine where the faux fur is and where not, you need to push the villi apart and see: if the fabric is visible, then the fur is artificial, if you see the skin, then the fur is natural.

• It is also worth checking that the fur is located throughout the inside of the shoe - you need to especially inspect the toe area.

• For outdoor activities, you should buy shoes in specialized stores. These shoes are also suitable for winter fishing, long exposure to air and long walks. The boots are endowed with special insulation membranes that do not allow the foot to freeze even in the most severe frost, but it will be hot in the room in such shoes.

• When choosing winter warm boots, it is important not to make a mistake with the size. You should not buy shoes back to back - it is better to choose a free option so that you can put on a thick toe. Moreover, to maintain heat in the shoe should be a certain amount of air.

• Be sure to pay attention to the details: on the seams, how to fasten the lock, on the laces, on the insoles, how all the details are sewn, and so on. It depends on all the details how long the boots will be able to maintain their basic functions and appearance.

• Women's shoes are often made with heels of various heights. For convenience, it is better to choose models with a rounded toe - such shoes will not squeeze your toes and the foot will feel free and will not freeze.

• The choice of shoes should depend on the convenience and comfort of the foot, so you need to try on two shoes, because it can be a little larger than the other. In this case, you need to equal the size of the leg, which is larger. Also, make sure that the shoes do not pinch or rub the shaft. Do not be shy and try on shoes with wool socks to exclude the possibility of squeezing your legs (and this, by the way, leads to the appearance of corns and corns).

• Trying on shoes, walk around a little and feel how the shoe sits on your foot. Genuine leather tends to stretch a little when worn and take the shape of a foot.

• It is necessary to pay attention to the sole of the shoe - it should be made of rubber, rubber, TEP or polyurethane. It is better not to choose shoes with a sole made of plastic material - such a sole will not be able to properly warm in the winter months.

• The shoe manufacturer also needs to pay attention - it must be reliable and tested. Read reviews on the Internet, learn more about a particular brand, and also try to buy boots for the winter in specialized stores with a large assortment and rich experience.

Sports equipment for skiing has a huge assortment and a lot of thin walls when choosing.

The best skate shoes should have the following features:

• be high, at least to cover the ankle to avoid injuries during movement;
• have acceptable rigidity to also protect the foot from all kinds of damage;
• should be selected strictly according to the size of the legs;
• pads should ideally fit all the features of the foot (width, size, possible deviations from the norm, and so on);
• fastenings and fasteners of boots should be maximally suitable for equipment, as well as not seize and be as functional as possible.

When choosing skate shoes for children, you should not choose a model for growth in order to avoid injuries. Children's shoes are less stiff, so as not to damage the fragile bones of the child and prevent deformation.

As for female models, they are usually a bit wider in the calf area. On some boots, a special upper volume regulator is placed so that the athlete herself can adjust the size.

Experts also advise not to save on shoes when choosing equipment for winter outdoor activities and sports - poor-quality shoes can cause injuries and damage and, accordingly, worsen the health of the legs and the whole body.

Children quickly grow out of shoes, so every season they need a new pair. The best boots for children in winter should be:

• comfortable (ideally suited to the individual characteristics of the legs - size, width);
• light so that you can move around without difficulty;
• breathable so that the baby’s leg does not sweat;
• non-slip to avoid injury and damage to ice;
• water-resistant so that the foot is not wet in wet weather and allows greater wearing comfort;
• warm - many shoes are equipped with special membranes that contribute to the preservation of heat, but of course, the presence of natural fur is never superfluous;
• easy to care for, because children rarely make sure not to get dirty. It is best to choose material that can be easily cleaned with soap and a damp soft cloth or sponge.

When choosing children's shoes for the winter, you need to pay attention to the following:

• so that the leg does not freeze, you can’t buy shoes, which is called end-to-end - it’s better to buy shoes on the floor, one size larger. Also pay attention to the toe of the shoe - the best option is a rounded, wide toe: it definitely will not squeeze the baby’s toes;
• shoes should be well fixed on the leg and not hang out - for this, all kinds of straps, fasteners, rivets and others are used;
• it is necessary to take into account the child’s opinion - he should like the shoes and be comfortable for his feet, otherwise he will simply refuse to wear it;
• high-quality boots are the key to healthy legs, so when buying, be sure to pay attention to all the details: seams, linings, locks and so on;
• it is better to choose a model with removable insoles, especially if the child’s legs tend to sweat - in this case it will be easier to wash and replace them.

When choosing shoes for the winter, pay attention to everything - quality, price, appearance, comfort. Remember that choosing the right shoes affects both the health of your feet and your well-being and mood.
