How to choose a winter footwear - how to choose the right winter footwear.
Folk wisdom says: who keeps his feet warm, and his head in the cold, he is always healthy. Therefore, shoes for winter should be chosen first, warm.
Naturally, one of the important criteria by which we choose shoes is the banal "like - do not like".In men, it turns into "convenient - not convenient," for women quite another - "fashionable - not fashionable."But whatever you choose, the convenience factor, especially for winter shoes, must be taken into account.
When choosing shoes, people proceed from their budget. Even a joke is known about this: in order to save on shoes, you need to buy a car. Those who do not ride a car, it is better to choose warm, comfortable, quality shoes that will withstand increased loads when walking, of course, such shoes will cost more.
Details
How to choose the right winter footwear? Begin inspection of your boots or boots from the insoles. Choose the best ones for which they are fur. If the insoles are leather, then your shoes will freeze in those shoes. In addition, the insoles in boots should be simply nested or sewn, and not glued. The shape of the insole in quality footwear is cut exactly according to the size and shape of the foot.
Next we examine the sole. The ideal option for winter boots is a rippled thick sole. In such boots you will not slide on snow, and, thanks to a thick sole, will not freeze even in the most severe frosts. The sole of the boot can be sewn or glued, it does not really matter, because now shoe factories in production use high-quality adhesives that do not bring shoe socks on all the time.
If the zipper or clasp is made of metal, then the links must be parallel to each other. The "herringbone" links indicate that such a clasp is of poor quality, and links from it will quickly fall out.
You should not buy boots with a seam, just above the toe. It is in this place that the boot carries a heavy load and will quickly break.
If you decide to buy boots made from pieces of leather, then choose one where the pieces are sewn on each other overlapping, then the seams will not tear quickly, and you can wear such boots for a long time.
Leather shoes
For severe Russian winters, many prefer leather shoes with natural fur. The problem is that in our time there are so many synthetic materials, similar to the skin, that it is practically impossible to distinguish by eye.
For this, there are several tests:
- It is necessary to put a palm on the material, in case it heats up, this is the skin, and if it remains cold it is a substitute.
- You can find a free cut of material near the clasp and see it from the wrong side. The back of the skin is tanned and looks like suede.
- If the fingernail presses strongly on the material, the trail will remain for a long time, if it is the skin and quickly aligns, if the substitute.
- If the material is pulled a little, the substitute will spring and the skin will not.
- In order to determine whether leather shoes or not, you can just sniff it. The skin smells, and the substitute does not, or has a synthetic smell.
Quality shoe
How to choose a winter footwear, so as not to be mistaken in quality? A good guideline for this may be price. Than boots are more expensive - so they are better. But this conclusion can only be made in a specialized large shoe store. If you buy shoes in a clothing market or in a small boutique, you can do the following: press your finger on the toe of the boot. The left dent should be quickly leveled, and the sock should take the original shape. This indicates a good quality of the skin.
Choose a women's winter shoes with quality fur, too, is easy if you know all the nuances. Fur should be thick, without bald patches and very evenly trimmed. If the attempt to pluck a few villi will be successful, then the fur is of poor quality.
If the boots are heeled, then it should be perpendicular to the ground. Then the mass of your body will be evenly distributed on the entire foot, and the heel will not be erased. For walking on the snow, it is not worth buying boots with a thin heel, such heels, bogged down in the snow, can break. It is better to choose a wider and more stable heel or wedge.
Children's shoes
The choice of children's shoes - this is a question that must be approached with all seriousness.98% of children are born with healthy legs, but at the same time, more than 60% of adults suffer from various leg diseases caused by deformation of the fingers or the entire foot. The reason for this is incorrectly picked up in childhood shoes. It can also cause diseases of the spine or joints, neuralgia.
How to choose a winter footwear for a child? Shoes for the child must be of high quality. Cheap low-quality footwear is rarely made by all rules. The load when walking on the muscles should be distributed evenly, because the development of a growing child's organism depends on this. Undoubtedly, children's boots should be very warm and of such size that they could freely dress on a warm sock.
Choose children's winter shoes, knowing the size, not difficult. But in any case it is better to buy it after fitting. If you do not know the exact size of the baby's leg, then circle it with a pencil or pen, placing it on a sheet of paper. The distance from the heel to the tip of the thumb and it will be the size. Going to the store for shoes for the child, it is better to take the drawing of the foot with him and show it to the seller.
The important thing in choosing a shoe for a baby is the properly selected completeness. With a narrow foot do not need to buy boots with too wide a toe, the leg should not hang inside the boot.
If the child does not walk yet, then buy shoes for walking is not worth it. A small, unformed still leg will crumple in such shoes. It is best to buy fur booties and boots, large in two sizes.
When the child goes, you can buy him a boot made of textiles on the membrane, with a fur lining. It is desirable that the first boots have a small heel, then the baby's leg will develop normally, and it will form the right gait.
