Winter sneakers

Today, many girls choose a sports style in clothes and do not want to give it up even in the cold season. For such ladies, shoe designers have specially developed stylish versions of winter sneakers.

The very name of the category "winter sneakers" suggests certain requirements for this shoe:

1. It must be waterproof. Of course, you can use water-repellent sprays, but it is much better to initially purchase a sports model, impregnated with a special composition.
2. Since you will wear sneakers on frosty days, buy a lined option. Some models for additional heating are equipped with special spirals on the battery, hidden in the insoles.
3. Winter sports shoes should have a thick sole. It should be as embossed as possible so that the shoes do not slip. In addition, additives must be included in the material that will not allow the sole to harden in the cold. Its thickness should be at least 1 cm.

Winter sports shoes (for example, for basketball or football) are designed to reduce the load on the spine and joints, to protect the athlete from injuries. These models have good cushioning, softening impacts: these are air cushions on the sole in the heel and toe. Ribbed outsole with water-repellent effect will increase traction. In addition, winter sneakers should be airtight so that no cold and moisture penetrate inside.

Running sneakers for the winter are distinguished by a reinforced heel and a flexible nose, with their toe lifted up.Typically, such models are made of suede, because it is softer than leather. The sole of such shoes is made not of rubber, but of high-tech materials.

Models should be as light as possible to protect your legs from overwork.

Sneakers for walking are similar to the previous model, but equipped with a thicker and flatter sole. Their toe is not so much pulled up (no more than 5 mm). Among this category of shoes there are miniature products with a narrowed cape, as well as a more brutal design.

Warm hiking shoes are an important part of a traveler’s outfit in winter. Such shoes are often made of membrane materials that do not allow moisture to pass in, but remove its excess to the outside. Models must reliably protect the ankle joint - for this they have a high, well-laced upper. In addition, the tongue is usually sewn not only at the bottom, but on the sides in the form of folds.

Orthopedic winter sneakers have been developed for people with special health problems. Some models have a special insole that reduces the load on the spine and distributes it over the entire surface of the foot, while others are equipped with an orthopedic sole that relieves stress from bones and joints.

Externally, such sneakers practically do not differ from ordinary sports shoes, have the same stylish design. However, these products have a wider nose with a stiff toe cap. The heel design, which fixes the foot in the desired position, must be rigid.

Winter sneakers are available in a wide range for children and adolescents. Their main purpose is to protect the child's legs from frost, so this shoe is usually high, has a warm lining and an insole that must be removed.

In addition, it is convenient to fill narrow jeans or leggings in high insulated sneakers, and it will be difficult to get snow inside shoes.

Fashionable models, designed not for sports, but for everyday wear can also have a high wedge or platform.

Sneakers with fur always look stylish, which blend perfectly with the down jacket. Fur trim can decorate only the edge of the top, while another insulation is provided inside (fleece or bike).

As for the decor, sneakers are most often decorated with a company logo. Some models are equipped with decorative braid, original zippers. Youth winter sneakers are often decorated with spikes and rhinestones. Quilted fragments from water-repellent material are also popular.

A popular model, especially among extraordinary young people, as well as a children's and teenage audience, is LED sneakers that glow effectively in the dark.

In the production of high-quality winter sneakers, Gore-Tex high-tech material is also used, which is a membrane located between the top layer and the lining. Such shoes repel water, retain heat and have excellent ventilation.

A great solution for warming sports shoes is a neoprene toe.Soft neoprene is an artificial microporous rubber that fits snugly to the foot, retains heat and protects against moisture. Importantly, this wear fabric prevents the growth of fungus and bacteria. But, it should be noted that, compared with Gore-Tex, neoprene is worse permeable to air.

For those who are going to wear sneakers at fairly low temperatures, designers have specially developed options with a warm lining. For this, the following types of insulation are used:

• Good quality synthetic fur warms perfectly, allows the skin to breathe and maintains a presentable look for a long time.
• Sherpa - a material that imitates faux fur with suede (from different sides). It also has high thermal insulation properties.
• Prima Loft Silver is a synthetic analogue of fluff that protects against moisture and dries quickly. Shoes on such a lining are light and tiny, since a thin layer of material is enough to warm.
