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

What should be warm sneakers for the winter?

The very name of the category "winter sneakers" implies 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 version with a lining. 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 relief as possible so that the shoes do not slip. In addition, the material should include additives that will not allow the sole to harden in the cold. Its thickness must be at least 1 cm.

Kinds

Winter sports sneakers (for example, for basketball or football) are designed to reduce the load on the spine and joints, to protect the athlete from injury. These models have good shock absorption, softening the blows: these are air cushions on the sole in the heel and toe area. The ribbed sole with a water-repellent effect will increase grip. In addition, winter sneakers should be sealed so that the inside is not prone to cold and moisture.

Running shoes for winter are distinguished by a reinforced heel and a flexible bow, and their socks are bullied. Usually such models are made of suede, because it is softer than leather. The sole of this shoe is made not of rubber, but of high-tech materials.

Models should be as light as possible to keep your feet from overwork.

Sneakers for walking are similar to the previous model, but equipped with a thicker and flat sole. Their sock is not so much bullied (no more than 5 mm). Among this category of shoes are found as miniature products, with a tapered cape, and more brutal design.

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

For people with special health problems, orthopedic winter sneakers have been developed. 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 have an orthopedic sole that relieves stress from bones and joints.

Externally, these sneakers are almost the same as normal sports shoes, have the same stylish design. However, these products have a wider nose with a hard toe cap. Rigid should be the design of the heel, which locks the foot in the desired position.

Important qualities of such models are a lightweight sole, the use of natural materials that provide good ventilation, and a seamless inner surface.

Winter sneakers are available in a wide range for children and teenagers.Their main purpose is to protect the child’s feet from frost, so these shoes are usually high, have a warm lining and an insole that should be removed.

Children's models of sneakers should fix a limb well - shoelaces are better coped with than Velcro. It is desirable that the shoes were equipped with reflective elements. High-quality children's sneakers for winter have light weights, this applies especially to running models.

Fashion models

Winter sneakers can be low or high (completely covering the ankles) - the latter is important for reliable fixation of the ankle, which, in turn, is important for walking in slippery weather. In addition, it is convenient to fill skinny jeans or leggings into high-warmed sneakers, and it will be difficult for the snow to get inside the shoe.

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

Always stylish look sneakers with fur, which are ideally combined with a down jacket. Fur trim can decorate only the edge of the top, inside there is another insulation (fleece or bike).

As for the decor, the 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 a water-repellent material are also popular.

A popular model, especially among extraordinary young people, as well as children and adolescents, is LED sneakers, which effectively glow in the dark.

Material

Sneakers for winter are made of genuine leather and suede, nubuck and quilted waterproof textiles.

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

An excellent solution for warming sports shoes - neoprene sock. Soft neoprene is an artificial microporous rubber that fits snugly to the foot, retains heat warmly and protects against moisture. Importantly, this sock fabric prevents the growth of fungus and bacteria. But, it should be noted that, compared with Gore-Tex, neoprene is less breathable.

Note that these models are not designed for hard frost, but if you are constantly traveling by car in the winter, then these options are for you.

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

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

Colour

The color scheme of warm sneakers is wide enough. For our climate, the most practical models are dark tones, which are not afraid of the vagaries of the weather. Various products are able to revive such products.

White options always look fresh and catchy. If you prefer this color, choose a model from a washable material. If you are still constantly traveling by car, then feel free to buy such sneakers.

Young fashionistas will appreciate the pink sports shoes, which is the fashion trend of the current season. In addition, you can choose a model of beige and yellow, red and red, turquoise and lilac. Each of them will decorate your image.
