Each parent takes care that his child in the cold season is not influenced by weather conditions, in other words, so that the child does not freeze, does not get wet and that it does not blow out. If the body can be protected with a thick jacket, and the head with a hat, then the legs need good quality shoes. What to do if ordinary shoes do not protect the baby from dampness, and rubber boots freeze in the cold?
Everything is very simple. Especially for changeable weather conditions there are snowboots. This shoes represents ordinary puffy or felt boots with a kind of galoshes made of special non-freezing rubber. They not only protect the child well from all kinds of winter weather hardships, but also do not burden the leg and do not interfere with movements. The harsh Russian winters are exactly what Demar brand snow boots are perfect for. And thanks to the diverse range of companies everyone will be able to find a model to their taste among its range.
Features
Demar is a Polish company that has been pleasing its customers with quality and attractive shoes for 25 years. In addition to snow boots, they also offer a variety of rubber boots, which are already notorious among Russian consumers due to their bright colors.
Snowboats have not yet gained such popularity. So what is it and what is their advantage over ordinary shoes? The fact is that the sole of the snowboots is much thicker and more voluminous than the shoes we are used to. This makes them as useful as possible during the transition of seasons from autumn to winter and from winter to spring. They are literally created so that you can save yourself and your child from slushy winters or frosty late autumn.
In such shoes it is comfortable at temperature conditions from +5 to -30 degrees.
At first glance, snowboots are similar to the usual children's "dutik", which were quite popular several years ago. However, shoes of that time could not boast of a grooved sole with deep treads, which not only did not allow the foot to get wet, but also protected from slipping. This is extremely important for children's models, because little tomboys just do what they run and jump wherever they want. Well, of course, you can not do without a dense internal insulation that retains heat inside the boot and does not let cold air into it.
Typical snowboards consist of three layers of material:
for interior decoration, natural fur is most often used;
insulation that does not allow the feet to freeze;
outer fabric that does not allow wind and moisture.
Popular models
Demar shoes combine many qualities that are useful in harsh winters in our latitudes.
The rubber rim does not allow the foot to get wet, even if the snow on the boots began to melt or moisture got on them. Thanks to this, such shoes serve for a long time.
Wearing snow boots is easy and pleasant, the child will not feel constrained or uncomfortable in them. Even with severe frosts, natural sheep's wool perfectly retains heat.
If you get a dense felt insole from the boot, you will notice that there are empty cubes in the sole. This air gap does not allow the cold from the ground to rise inside the boot.
Snow storm
This model is very easy to visually distinguish from others thanks to the tight Velcro fasteners. They are easily adjustable for the width of the child’s legs, so the boot does not hang on it. For the upper inserts, nubuck is used - this is a natural waterproof material. Inside the boots there is natural sheep wool. The boot shaft is designed for a wide range of thickness of children's legs, so it can be adjusted.
In practice, Snow Storm performs very well.
This model has earned a lot of positive reviews from mothers of babies running along the winter streets in them. Convenience of fasteners is especially noted, because when a child just started going to kindergarten, it is unlikely that someone will tie shoelaces to him there.
But fastening Velcro does not take much time and any child will cope with them.
Joy
This model may not be suitable for everyone, but only for children with a low lift and a leg size of up to 25. This model is fixed with laces.
Now on the market there are only two color options - white and khaki.
Special large rings are sewn on the sides of the boot so that they can easily and quickly insert a cord and lace up the boot. In addition, tightening the lace on such rings is much easier.
Nordic
One of the most beloved models. Due to its limited color range - only red and blue - this option is more suitable for a boy. But provided a wide range of sizes from 25 (17 cm insole) to 35 (22.5 cm) sizes. The bootleg is made of a special textile material that is resistant to moisture. A flexible rubber sole does not cause discomfort and protects against slush and adhering snow. As a fastener in front of the boot is a snake.
Inside the Nordic model is a dense removable stocking made of two layers of special material and an aluminum foil insert.
These boots are designed for temperatures up to -35 degrees. Without stockings, they can be used as demi-season shoes. Their legs will not get wet in them, but without a stocking it will not be hot in them either.
Such shoes are not at all cold, nor slush, nor puddles.
Snow man
This model can rightly be called the most recognizable and popular among children. A wide variety of color options and a comfortable wide gum on the rise are its distinguishing features. The top of the boots can be fixed with a special lace with a clip.
However, negative reviews about this model pop up on the network every now and then.
For kids who are just starting to walk, Snow Man is a great solution, but parents of older children should refuse to purchase them.
During active games, a wide Velcro often interferes and fetters movement.
Toby
This model has only two snowboats - pink and blue, for girls and boys. The material from which the outer side of the boot is made does not leak moisture and is resistant to dirt. On the rise - a wide elastic band that fixes the shoe exactly on the foot. The inner layer of sheepskin is turned upside down.
Criterias of choice
Beautiful and comfortable children's shoes quite quickly won the hearts of children and their parents. Especially parents appreciated the fact that Demar shoes are double size. There is always a little space inside the boot, which allows you not to worry about the fact that by the spring the shoes will be small.
To choose shoes for a child by size, it is necessary to measure the length of his foot. Have your child wear socks and stand on a piece of paper. Circle his leg with a pencil along the contour, while making sure that the line does not peek out from under the foot, but does not climb under it. After that, draw two parallel lines touching the highest points (the heel and the thumb). Measure the distance between them. This will be the length of the foot. Add another 1.5 centimeters to this figure and determine the size of the legs by the size grid.
Review Reviews
Moms like snowboats because of their ease of maintenance. It is enough to rinse them with water or wipe them with a damp cloth so that the shoes return to their original appearance. Parents of older children note that Demar shoes are perfectly preserved even after a season of use. Thanks to this, you can wear them for the next year.
Children are happy with a wide variety of colors and patterns. Each baby can look stylish and unique even in cold winter weather.
Also many buyers celebrate high quality lining made of natural wool.
Children feel comfortable in such shoes even at a temperature of -20 degrees.
In addition, many customers note a decent price-quality ratio of shoes.
However, some users complain about the thickness of the sole of the shoe, as well as the complexity of the shoe of some models with removable galoshes.
