Children's winter boots

For your child you always want only the best. And if it is also the warmest, then the parent’s pride and joy simply has no limits. How not to get lost in the variety of firms, models and even colors? How to make the right choice, without compromising the desires of the child, we will understand in stages.

Even in the process of choosing shoes for the smallest legs, her highness fashion constantly intervenes. And it concerns not only future women of fashion, girls, but also boys-robbers. And if it comes to purchasing winter shoes for children of primary school age and teenagers, there is simply nowhere without fashionable trends.

• Orthopedic. Footwear for children, designed not only to correct any congenital or acquired physical defects, but also serves as an excellent prophylactic against a number of diseases of the foot, leg bones, calf muscles and even the spine.

• Membrane. These shoes are equipped with an inner membrane hidden between the upper soft, often textile, layer and lining, that is, the layer adjacent directly to the foot itself. This gasket protects the baby’s feet from external water ingress, and also removes natural fumes emanating from the baby’s body. They can easily be called waterproof shoes, which replaced the classic rubber boots.

• Sports. The most versatile model for teenage girls, for children aged 11-12 years. Often, children's winter boots of a sports type look as the modified, warmed sneakers or gym shoes. What is undoubtedly considered the peak of the fashion season. One of the subspecies of winter sports shoes are trekking boots. This almost universal view allows you to fix the foot as much as possible inside you, saving you from foot damage during ice. Possessing increased cushioning, the foot in trekking boots is not only convenient, but also safe in any season. For this type of children's winter boots, water-repellent, heat-insulating, wear-resistant properties are very characteristic, which makes them almost indispensable in the Russian winter.

• Insulated children's shoes are less common. Most often, they are designed to be worn during demi-season, or in the southern regions, where winters are milder and velvety. Their warmth is only the warming of the bottom of the boot. For example, a thick insole made of natural wool, or warming a thin strip from the sole to the ankle around the perimeter of winter shoes.

• The smaller the child, the happier he will be to various decorations on his winter boots. For example, very original look luminous botiki, with images of favorite cartoon characters. The main emphasis in the fastener of children's winter shoes is on velcro as the main means of fixing the foot, and lacing - an increase and decrease in the volume of the leg itself - for the convenience of the baby.

Of course, for children, parents always choose only the best. Therefore, in matters of materials from which children's winter boots are made, more often they opt for products made from natural materials. The market for children's shoes offers us a huge selection: from natural leather and fur to nubuck and suede, textiles, split with fur or wool lining. Of course, children's leather winter boots with natural fur are ideal for small legs, but not the most economical.

Every year there is a growing number of firms - manufacturers of children's shoes. However, the most popular and high quality ones do not give up their positions.

• Ricosta (Germany). In terms of the quality of materials used to make shoes for small legs, as well as the cut and tailoring itself, this trademark deservedly and confidently takes the first place. Firstly, only natural materials are used in the production. The sole of children's winter boots is so flexible and light that it can be compared only with the most expensive sneakers for adults.

• Ecco (Denmark). A very famous company that produces the most diverse shoes for children and adults. When purchasing children's winter boots, you should pay attention to the markings on the sole: Ecco Light indicates that this type of footwear is designed to be worn in regions with velvet (European) winter; Ecco without any extraneous addition can be worn in the harsh Russian winters. Also, this manufacturer uses in the manufacture of children's shoes only natural materials.

• Columbia (USA). Not less well-known sports company, which with great trepidation and responsibility relates to the production of children's winter shoes. At the same time, often, it is here that they are called insulated, despite their water-repellent and frost-resistant properties. Most consumers who buy children's winter shoes of this brand, note high depreciation, resistance to various kinds of pollution and very low weight.

• Viking (Norway). Very warm children's winter boots, designed for wide feet. Also, the company follows the tradition of making shoes from natural materials.

• Cuoma (Finland). The company, which produces original children's boots, refined and improved to more practical and resistant to all weather children's winter boots. The optimal temperature for wearing this brand of shoes is -10, with warmer weather, alas, the baby’s foot will be too hot and uncomfortable.

• Demar (Poland). One of the most economical manufacturers of children's shoes. The main model that they produce is quilted. Very wearable to the age of one year and older. Possess very comfortable non-slip sole. Very convenient fixation of the legs due to lacing, which also provides comfort to the leg of any fullness.

• Kapika (Russia). The company specializing in the manufacture of various children's shoes has already managed to establish itself on the good side and get a lot of fans. Children's winter boots Kapik comfortable to wear, have high-quality exterior and interior trim.

• Kotofey (Russia). Presented on the Russian market with a large number and variety of children's shoes. Manufacturers insist that they produce high-quality and prophylactic products. Every mother knows that children's winter shoes of this brand undergo strict quality control and have high wear resistance.

• Fairy tale (Russia). The models of the Fairy Tale brand have a wide range of children's shoes. It is distinguished by a comfortable shoe, high-quality materials, as well as an individual approach of designers and technologists to the production of a specific model for each season.

In order not to get lost in the varieties of children's winter boots, when choosing shoes, pay attention to the following points:

• The size of children's winter boots should be 1-1.5 cm longer than the foot length of the baby. Thus, the air vacuum is preserved in the shoes, providing additional warming;
• It is desirable that the shoes be made of natural materials.Leatherette can crack in the cold and create additional discomfort for the child in the form of frosting of the legs. Any artificial materials do not allow air to pass through, so that the foot may sweat, which will also eventually lead to freezing;
• Sheepskin is considered one of the best insulants. Of course, for an active, running and jumping kid on the street, this type of insulation will be superfluous. Therefore, the selection of interior trim winter boots for your baby should be selected on the basis of his personal qualities and activity. If the winter is not too cold, with wet precipitation, membrane shoes are the ideal choice;
• additional stability and heat preservation inside the boot are provided by a high-quality and thick sole. Also, it must necessarily bend well, not slip and be well glued or stitched. The insole in the winter children's shoes should not ride, wrinkle. The main requirement for it: "dead" fixation inside the boot.

Footwear for children, like drugs, have a craving for individualism. That is, what is good for one does not necessarily fit the other. Therefore, if you choose children's winter boots, if you rely on the feedback from “experienced” moms, then only taking into account the peculiarities of your own child and the funds of the family budget.

For example, the shoes of Ricost, on the recommendations of some parents, are very warm, which can be worn without any additional socks. However, the sole leaves much to be desired due to poor adhesion to slippery soles.

Columbia, in parental reviews and comments, often - on top. Ecstatic exclamations that they are cool, warm and comfortable, are replaced by sarcastic: boring shoes, there is nothing even to scold them.

A fly in the ointment is becoming increasingly common in the reviews of the Demarah. The approximate ratio of votes for and votes against this brand is about 50% in each direction. One of the advantages is the ease of care and the universal size of the tops, adjustable lacing. Cons: hypothermia legs with a sit-down (in a wheelchair).

Children's winter boots from the Russian firm Fairy tale have a classic look. The top is made of genuine leather, and the interior is artificial fur.

Bright red Demara boots with a wide top and lacing. Soft, warmed and pleasing to the eye.

Children's winter boots from Columbia look very sophisticated. High rubberized galosh, which distinguishes the shoes of this company from others, provides moisture and frost resistance. The lacing allows to fix a shin reliably.
