How to choose shoes?

For the cold season requires warm and reliable shoes. Among the many models for the winter stand out boots - a shorter, comfortable alternative to boots, which easily combines with skirts, shorts and dresses, as well as office style.

It is very important to choose the right shoes so that it meets all the requirements and can serve for a long time. For this you need to pay attention to the material from which the shoes are made.

There is a certain list of rules by which we choose shoes.

• First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of shoes: on the heel (low or high), with fur, with spikes on the sole, for sporting events, on a flat sole. The choice of model depends on the style of clothing and the reason - where it will be shoes.

• Winter is famous for its icing, so winter shoes should have a stable sole or heel - the ribbed surface of the sole will help you stay on your feet even on the slippery road itself.

• The sole should be thick enough so that the foot in the shoe does not freeze.

• The material from which the shoes are made is a very important factor for the durability and thermal abilities of the shoes. Preference is given to natural materials - leather, suede, fur, but the leader, of course, is genuine leather.

• To distinguish natural material from artificial material, find the unstitched part of the shoe: a leather substitute has a fabric basis, whereas the natural one does not have it. In addition, a piece of leather material in the form of a brand name of a brand is attached to genuine leather shoes.

• Another way to distinguish natural material from artificial material is to slightly press the toe of the shoe. If the material is quickly straightened, then it is natural leather, if a dent remains, then it is an artificial material. In addition, natural leather emanates a pleasant smell, and it stays warm for a long time. From artificial leather, as a rule, comes cold.

• Suede shoes are very warm, but need careful and regular care. If the choice is on suede shoes, then you need to remember that this material does not like reagents and dirt on the road. From this material loses its color and is erased. The best option for wearing suede shoes - this is the use of shoes to find most of the time in the car.

• The inside of the shoes should consist of natural fur - then the foot in such shoes will not freeze. Artificial fur does not create a foot full of comfort - it either freezes it, or, on the contrary, creates too hot an environment, because of which the foot heats up and sweats. It is easy to determine where the artificial fur is, and where it is not, you need to push the villi apart and see if the fabric is visible, the fur is artificial, if the skin is visible, then the fur is natural.

• It is also worth checking that the fur is located all over the inside of the shoe - a special inspection is necessary to subject the sock area.

• For outdoor activities should purchase shoes in specialized stores. Such shoes are also suitable for winter fishing, long-term outdoor activities and long walks. Boots endowed with special insulating membranes that do not allow the foot to freeze even in the most severe frost, but indoors in such shoes it will be hot.

• When choosing winter warm boots, it is important not to be mistaken with the size. Do not buy shoes right next to - it is better to choose a free option so that you can wear a thick sock.Especially to preserve heat in the shoes should be some air.

• Be sure to pay attention to the details: the seams, how to fasten the lock, the laces, the insoles, how all the details are stitched, and so on. It depends on all the details how long the boots will be able to preserve their basic functions and appearance.

• Women's shoes are often made with heels of different heights. For convenience, it is better to choose a model with a rounded nose - such shoes will not squeeze the toes and the foot will feel free and will not freeze.

• The choice of shoes should depend on the convenience and comfort of the feet, so you need to try on shoes for two, because it can be a little more than the other leg. In this case, you need to be equal to the size of that leg, which is larger. Also pay attention to the fact that the shoes do not pinch and do not rub the leg area. Do not hesitate and try on shoes with woolen socks to eliminate the possibility of squeezing the legs (and this, incidentally, leads to the appearance of corns and corns).

• Trying on shoes, be a little like them and feel the shoes sitting on your foot. Genuine leather tends to stretch slightly when worn and take the shape of the foot.

• It is necessary to pay attention to the sole of the shoe - it should be made of rubber, rubber, TEC or polyurethane. It is better not to choose shoes with a sole made of plastic material - this sole will not be able to warm properly in the winter months.

• Attention should also be paid to the shoe manufacturer - it should be reliable and tested. Read reviews on the Internet, find out more about a particular brand, and also try to buy boots for the winter in specialized stores with a large assortment and rich experience.
