Waterproof sneakers

The main feature of waterproof sneakers is the material from which they are made. The top of the shoe is a synthetic multilayer material, leather, raincoat fabric or membrane coating. Winter options are lined with fur.

The sole for such shoes is made of polyvinylchloride materials that are resistant to low temperature. The sole also has a high tread for stability and heat preservation.

The fashionable technology used by manufacturers is Core-Tex: such shoes do not let moisture in, removes sweat outside, which means that the feet of the owner of such a pair will be warm and dry.

Waterproof sneakers can be for different times of the year and goals:

• Autumn-spring models - have a light insulation, the sole can be both high and low. The weight of these sneakers is more than that of summer models. Made of both leather and its substitutes and synthetic materials.

• Winter - overpriced models with fur and high relief tread. The material for such sneakers is leather or raincoat fabric.
• For running - made of water-repellent materials. The sole here is straight and light, so that the run will be easy and easy.

When choosing waterproof sneakers, the following aspects are taken into account:

• waterproof - sneakers should protect from moisture. The choice of material depends on the function of your sneakers. For running, a membrane coating, raincoat fabric is well suited. For walks - breathable skin.

• sole. We pay attention to stiffness and tread. The softer and better the sole bends - the less the risk of slipping. An anti-slip coating is ideal for the winter version. Next, we look at the relief of the platform. If you buy shoes for active pastime and training, then the more relief the sole is, the more convenient it will be to run.Do not forget about the instep support for proper load distribution. Many manufacturers resort to such an addition as anti-slip rubber spikes. They can be right on the sole or removable.

• ventilation. Shoes should be not only waterproof, but also breathable. If your shoes will consist only of synthetic materials, then the "greenhouse effect" is formed. There is no need to talk about water resistance, because the foot will be wet and uncomfortable anyway, which leads to various diseases.
• insulation. An important component for winter sneakers.

Another feature that may come in handy is the presence of reflective elements. In the dark and twilight, this feature will allow you to remain visible, which means it is a plus one to your safety.

Shoes should sit comfortably on the foot. To choose the right size, choose shoes in the afternoon, when the legs are slightly swollen. Do not forget that winter shoes are worn with a thicker toe, so do not get carried away with the “back-to-back” options.

Naturally, high-quality shoes should look appropriate - without unnecessary glue, scratches, protruding threads and other troubles of production defects.

1. In order for the shoes to serve you for a long time and not lose their qualities, you need to dry them well after each run.
2. To prevent the shoes from producing offensive odors, use a foot deodorant. Wash your insoles more often and ventilate your shoes.
3. Ideal when you have a pair of replacement sneakers. For the thrifty - this pair may not be so expensive and high-quality, but it should still protect the feet from moisture.
