Today, women make many demands on boots: to be comfortable, practical, worn for a long time, do not require special care, sit well on the foot, look beautiful, fit the clothes, be fashionable. How to choose boots so that they meet all these criteria? Let's not dump everything in one heap, but analyze the issue in parts.

In terms of practicality

According to the material of manufacture, boots are divided into:

• leather
• leatherette
• suede.

The most practical and "long-playing", of course, leather. They are not afraid of dirt and slush, their feet are warm and comfortable. To determine if you really have leather and not leatherette, find an unsewn patch of leather and examine it from the back. It must be rough. In addition, the skin smells in a special way.

Leather boots are the most durable

Leatherette is also, in principle, a good option, but feet sweat in it and hopes that boots from it will last longer than one or two seasons are not enough.

Leatherette - a good option for one or two seasons.

Suede boots look very nice, warm the feet well, but get dirty quickly and require special care. Moisture is detrimental to them, so before leaving the house, these boots will have to be treated with a water-repellent agent in order to be protected from the sudden onset of rain. In winter, suede suffers from reagents that are sprinkled on roads in ice and slush. If you drive to work and to the store in your own car, then no problem, buy suede boots.

Suede boots are only for dry weather, and even better - for trips in the car

When choosing winter boots, you need to pay attention to the quality of the fur. Natural is always better. Artificial does not absorb sweat well, so it will not save you from frost. In such boots, you can even freeze your feet.

Faux fur can be passed off as natural. But the natural one, when pressed, instantly straightens and it is attached to the skin, and not to the fabric - by these signs you will recognize it. Also check if all parts of the boot are insulated with natural fur. It happens that manufacturers, in an effort to save money, resort to tricks: they decorate the top with them, and use them in the lower, invisible part (near the toe area). artificial fur. Such shoes wear out quickly and warm much worse.

Let's move on to the sole and heel. The best materials they can be made from are rubber, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride. They are durable and waterproof. Plastic has a bad reputation. The sole from it quickly bursts, the heel often breaks. If you are looking for boots with stilettos, opt for the all-metal version. in boots on high heels check the arch support: if the heel moves back when pressing on the instep area, then it is of poor quality. It is more convenient, of course, a small wide heel or its complete absence, especially during ice.

Stable heel best option for winter ice

Pay attention to the thickness of the sole. If the boots are winter, and it is thin - no more than 1 cm, this is not suitable for harsh winters. Test the glued sole for the quality of fastening by pulling it by the edge.

When choosing boots with a zipper, see if it closes from the inside along with the lining fabric. If so, your feet will always be warm. When choosing a model with lacing, pay attention to where it starts. The closer to the toe, the better: taking off and putting on shoes will be more convenient.

A few tips for fitting:

1. Try on the boot not on thin tights, but on the sock with which you will wear it (winter - with thick woolen, autumn - with cotton or synthetic).
2. Do not buy winter boots one size larger, as often advised. Even if you wear them with a warm sock, they still spread, and the foot will “float” in them.
3. It's okay if the shaft leather boots sitting tight. Natural material stretches over time.

How to choose boots in terms of beauty and fashion

Incorrectly chosen boots can greatly spoil the impression of the appearance of their mistress. Therefore, the model must be chosen taking into account the height, weight and shape of the legs:

1. With wide calves, avoid models with large belts, fur or catchy decor - they visually enlarge them even more. Do not try to solve the problem by purchasing boots with tapered tops. They will strongly pinch the leg, which can lead to health problems, not to mention a feeling of discomfort. You need a model with vertical lacing and knee length. Well slim legs boots with cuffs. They should be worn with matching tights.
2. If the calves, on the contrary, are thin, wide and 3D models- from "inflated" material or with corrugation - can only aggravate the situation. As soon as they are only a couple of centimeters wider than the calf, the thinness of the legs will become even more noticeable. Boots of light and bright colors are well suited for thin girls, which will make the calves visually wider. Tights in this case should contrast with the shoes.
3. What boots to choose with a short stature? In this case, it is better to avoid models with a square toe and an extended top. They make the legs visually fuller and wider.

The effect of long and slender legs will help create boots with a zipper or vertical lacing. If they also have a pointed toe, a small heel or a wedge - generally good.

1. A wide foot will be "disguised" by an almond-shaped or rounded toe. He will give the owner of the boots femininity and grace. Avoid straps and buckles around your ankles if you don't want everyone to notice your wide feet.
2. Having feet big size, models with narrow noses should be avoided and bright colors. rounded cape, dark color and the platform is ideal for them.

Any woman wants to look relevant, to be in trend. Therefore, I would like to know what will be fashionable in the 2015/2016 season in order to take this into account when choosing boots.

To the great joy of the beautiful half, this year the designers made sure that everything is combined in one model at once: beauty, fashion, comfort, practicality.

Now you can find an option that fits all the things in the wardrobe. Winter and Autumn boots, in which you can go to work, and for a walk, and to the market, wear it under a dress, and under a skirt, and with jeans - a dream that has finally come true. And now more specifically.

Autumn pleases us with the last days and already reminds us of the upcoming winter cold. Winter frosts can come unexpectedly, so it’s worth preparing for them now. Not for nothing they say "Prepare the sleigh in the summer ...". The same can be said about winter shoes. So that snow and ice do not take you by surprise, think carefully about purchasing winter shoes today.

The shoe market offers us a lot of options for winter boots for every taste and color. However, the choice is not always successful. Very often, colds and viral diseases occur due to freezing, including lower extremities. So that your legs are always warm and comfortable, and winter frosts did not frighten you with their severity, listen to our advice on choosing reliable and warm winter shoes.

Any fashionista knows that you need to keep up with fashion at any time of the year and winter cannot be an obstacle to elegant high-heeled shoes. However, listen to your logic and think about what is more important for you - health or the ephemeral concept of fashion. Warm waterproof boots can also be beautiful and emphasize your dignity. Therefore, first of all, pay attention to the quality and good quality of winter shoes.

So, first of all, let's dwell on the material from which the shoes are made.

Leather

Of course, there can be no better material than genuine leather. Leather is perfect for winter slush and frost. Leather perfectly takes the shape of the foot, so in leather shoes you will be, above all, comfortable and comfortable. Being a natural material, leather is practically impervious to moisture, so you can be sure that your feet will not get wet. A very important plus is that the skin perfectly retains heat.

With all the above benefits, leather shoes will not only keep you warm and protect your feet from moisture, but will also serve you faithfully for several seasons.

The cost of winter shoes genuine leather can be quite high, however, paying once, you will give your feet comfort and warmth for several seasons.

Natural suede

Natural suede is an excellent material for sewing shoes, including winter ones. Outwardly very attractive, pleasant to the touch, it makes any shoe model more refined and airy. Compared to natural leather, suede is not as practical to wear. In wet weather and slush, traces of salt or just dirt may remain on it. Suede, in fact, being leather turned inside out, also protects well from moisture, but moisture definitely does not benefit it. But at the same time, suede shoes can also be warm and quite comfortable.

Today, footwear manufacturers offer special protective products for suede boots- moisture protection, stain remover, tint sprays and many others. With these products, you can easily care for your suede shoes and keep them in good condition.

Leatherette

Leatherette is a good alternative to genuine leather, but not in the case of winter shoes. Leatherette can pass moisture, and this is fraught with wet feet and a cold. Such shoes will quickly crack in the cold, and in places of folds they can even break completely. As for warmth, leatherette shoes are unlikely to warm your feet. The only advantage of faux leather shoes is their price. However, it is worth considering whether it is necessary to pay, albeit less, for shoes that will serve you for only one season ..?

How not to make a mistake

Modern artificial leather is very similar to natural. Sometimes even professional retailers can't tell the difference between leatherette and genuine leather. At first glance, they are very similar, both in appearance and to the touch. However, there are a number of ways that, in 80% of cases, will help you distinguish leather boots from leatherette shoes.

When you put your hand on the shoes, you will feel warm - this is genuine leather. Leatherette is always cooler to the touch.

One of better ways identify fake is to check slices. Pay attention to the places where back side material. Genuine leather has a slightly hairy underside, while leatherette usually has a fabric backing.

The smell test probably won't work - today high quality leatherette can smell like genuine leather due to fragrances.

Another sure way to check the skin for naturalness is to use a needle. At the puncture site, genuine leather will spring a little, while artificial leather will leave a mark in the form of a hole.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to insure yourself against a fake. Therefore, to buy a new pair of winter shoes, go to a specialized store or shoe salon. The market assortment in most cases turns out to be an outright fake. And who wants to be deceived ..?

Winter shoes should have a warm lining and fur. Therefore, do not listen to the seller, who convincingly says that modern faux fur warms no worse than natural. Natural fur will allow your feet to "breathe" and protect you from freezing, while artificial fur is more likely to cause increased sweating on your feet. Faux fur will “knock off” faster and only a thin lining will remain of it. In a word, natural fur has an undeniable advantage over artificial fur. How to check fur? Spread it with your fingers: if it is on a fleecy basis - natural fur, on fabric - artificial.

Today, many manufacturers use the technology of "combined fur". In this case, the fur on the top is artificial, and on the foot is natural. Also, fashionistas know the “European” model - the shaft is lined with fabric, the foot is natural fur. This variation makes it possible to wear a winter boot that fits the leg to the top, while not making it very voluminous. Such tailoring techniques have their advantages, but for cold weather it is still better to stock up on high boots with natural fur along the entire height of the boot.

As for winter shoes for men, men's high boots are extremely rare. They are usually chosen by dudes and fashionistas, and in them, as well as in women's "Europeans", natural fur is only on the foot. The most popular model of men's winter shoes - boots just above the ankle, with natural fur.

Sole

The sole is an important component of reliable winter footwear. Pay attention to the material from which it is made (rubber, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride - they are all waterproof and quite wear-resistant), as well as the thickness. According to the standard, the thickness of the sole should be at least 1 centimeter. A thin sole will freeze through and is unlikely to protect you in frosty weather.

It is worth paying attention to the relief of the sole. The more bulges, recesses and embossed patterns on the sole, the easier it will be for you to stand in ice. If you pay attention to professional sports winter shoes, you will notice that a custom-patterned embossed outsole is a hallmark of any well-known manufacturer.

It is easier for men both in summer and in winter. Men's fashion does not require wedges, heels or platforms. Women are not shy about high heels and platforms in winter period.

Modern winter footwear pleases with its diversity. If you are used to walking in high heels, no problem. Just take a closer look at the heel - it must be stable and reliable, and in no case can it be plastic. Give your boots a little test - put the shoes on a flat surface and press down on the instep. If the heel "moves" back - do not buy these boots, otherwise you will not have problems with slips and falls.
As for the platform or wedge, it should be tightly glued, there should be no glue residue at the joints, and threads should not stick out of the seams.

In any case, the choice is yours. However, remember that in ice it is still better not to wear high-heeled shoes and protect yourself from falls and fractures.

Fitting

Do not buy shoes without trying them on, especially winter ones! Remember that no two pairs of shoes are the same. Shoes from different manufacturers can differ significantly in size, therefore, when ordering boots of your 38th size online, you can actually get a Chinese 36th.

Try on both boots or shoes, walk around the store, sit in shoes. You should immediately feel comfortable. Do not listen to a consultant who persuades you to take shoes "back to back" with the understanding that "the fur will sit down and the skin will stretch." This is the biggest misconception. You should not be cramped in shoes, thumb should not rest against the toe, and the bootleg should not squeeze the leg.

It is also a mistake to choose shoes that are one size larger. When worn, your feet will not only be uncomfortable. Boots that are too big for you can deform your feet and cause you to fall. When choosing winter shoes, put on a warm sock for trying on, because in winter you will surely warm your feet.

accessories

Having tried on the models you like, and having decided on the choice, carefully inspect the boots again. Compare the right and left boot, check the strength of the seams, the absence of cracks and folds. Try to unzip / fasten the zipper several times - it should be unfastened easily and not "jam". Also pay attention to accessories - fasteners, buttons, buttons, chains should be well fixed. Feel free to ask the seller what material they are made of. Very often, decorative elements are overwritten or darken too quickly, which in turn gives an untidy look even new shoes.

Where can I buy?

So, what should you choose? Order winter boots in the online store or buy on the market? Or maybe sew shoes to order ..?

If you want to purchase a pair of reliable and warm winter boots, head to a shoe store. First of all, you will be able to try on the shoes you like in a comfortable environment, walk around the store and feel whether you are comfortable.
The help of consultants can sometimes be too intrusive, but sometimes it helps to make the right choice.

Many stores are direct suppliers of factory-made shoes, so they give a guarantee on it, which, you see, is very nice. If the manufacturer guarantees the quality of products and confirms this with warranty service, then you have every reason to trust the quality of this product. Moreover, by keeping the receipt, you can always return the goods within a certain time if for some reason it did not suit you or you changed your mind.

Many consumers mistakenly believe that shoes on the market are much cheaper than those sold in stores. Sometimes it can be even higher. But with regard to quality and reliability, it is better to think about it. When buying shoes on the market, you do not have the opportunity to complain in the future if the sole suddenly peels off during the first snow or the fur is erased after a week of wear.

Moreover, think about whether you can normally try on shoes when there are a few more customers crowding around you? You won’t walk around the market in trying on shoes, and after taking a couple of steps, you are unlikely to determine whether you are comfortable.

Also, when buying shoes on the market, you run the risk of becoming a victim of fraud. In the turmoil of the market, you may be sold a low-quality product or, which sometimes happens, just a replacement.

Do you want to be different from others? Or do you just have a custom shoe size? Then you need a shoe designer!

Now it is becoming very popular to sew shoes to order, both summer and winter. First of all, custom-made shoes are a unique thing. You will definitely not meet the twin of your winter boots and, of course, you will feel like a million. By the way, about a million. Such pleasure is not cheap, so you have to fork out!

Owners of a non-standard shoe size or foot shape can also contact a shoe tailoring studio. If you're looking for a regular pair of winter boots in your size, rather than a piece of shoe art, this purchase will cost you less than the previous case, but you still have to fork out a little.

Care

So, the purchase is made, your wonderful warm boots are waiting for you on the shelf, which not only delight your feet, but also your eyes. Now it remains just to maintain them in proper condition, care for and, if necessary, repair.

Having bought a pair of boots, be sure to purchase a set to care for them. If you always keep your shoes clean, freshen them regularly and replace worn-out heels in time, your shoes will serve you faithfully for more than one winter.

Now there is a huge amount of shoe care products - creams, paints, water-repellent sprays, gloss sponges, etc. Remember that leather and suede shoes require completely different care and, accordingly, different products.

Replace your pads on time! In winter, shoes are most susceptible to mechanical stress, so do not be surprised if heels or socks wear out quickly - this is absolutely normal. Just bring your shoes to the repair shop on time, and this will save you from changing your shoes frequently.

We hope that our advice will help you enter a new winter season shod in reliable, high-quality and warm shoes that will not let you down in the harsh winter cold!

We wish you a good choice!

Winter, as always, comes unexpectedly. Therefore, many people make a purchase of winter shoes in a hurry, which is fundamentally wrong. Winter shoes should definitely be bought wisely, paying attention to every detail.

The stores offer the widest selection of shoes: with high heels and low heels, with thick and thin soles, smooth and embossed, with fur and membrane. What to choose? To keep your feet warm and comfortable to walk, you need to choose shoes for your lifestyle.

Material:

1. Genuine leather. According to experts, the skin is the most best material for winter shoes. In such boots it will be comfortable both in slush and in frost. The skin perfectly adapts to the parameters of the foot (fullness, width), repels moisture and retains heat for a long time.

If the quality of raw materials for the manufacture of leather shoes is high, then it will last more than one season.

The only downside to these boots is the price. But you should not worry: once you buy a pair of real natural leather boots, you will definitely forget about the cold weather for a couple of winters.

2. Natural suede. Suede shoes look chic and very sophisticated. It is soft, comfortable and warm. But, unlike leather options, suede requires special care. If you can safely walk through puddles in the skin, then stains and stains will remain on velvet suede from moisture, which are sometimes very difficult to clean, and often completely impossible.

To extend the life of suede shoes you need to stock up by special means: water-repellent sprays, spray paint, spray cleaners.

3. Leatherette. Its only advantage is its low cost. Yes, leatherette is similar to genuine leather, but only externally. Feet in artificial boots will freeze even with a slight frost, and any moisture will wet your feet. If the leatherette is of poor quality, then at low temperatures there is a possibility that the material will simply burst like paper. Such inexpensive option boots are perfect for one season, but is it worth overpaying?!

Now we face the question: "how to distinguish genuine leather from artificial." Yes, indeed, the industry does not stand still and it is quite easy for an inexperienced buyer to run into low-quality shoes. Even the smell of the skin learned to fake. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, there are a few little tricks:

• Genuine leather will seem warmer than artificial if you put your hand on the product;
• If possible, pay attention to the cuts. Genuine leather has suede on the inside (soft with villi), while artificial leather has a fabric base.
• Another way is to pierce with a needle in an inconspicuous place. On the leatherette, a small hole will remain from the puncture, but not on the natural one.

4. Fur. There is no winter footwear without fur. And to keep your feet warm, preference should be given to natural. No talk of sellers that faux fur is just as warm should mislead you. The substitute creates a greenhouse effect, which means that the feet will be wet and quickly freeze. Another disadvantage of this material is rapid wear. Faux fur wears out very quickly with constant wear.

European models are presented on the market, where only the foot is covered with natural fur, and the top is made of fabric or artificial material from the inside.

Sole

When choosing a sole, you should pay attention to two aspects: thickness and material. The thickness of the sole must be at least 1 centimeter, otherwise the feet will freeze. As for the material, you can find several options in stores: rubber, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane. Any of these materials do not pass water and do not wear out very quickly.

Also important is the pattern on the sole. The more convex and embossed it is, the better. The smooth version was not created for winter at all. Even on non-slip ice, you will feel like you are on skates. It is very dangerous.

Also, do not choose winter boots with high heels. Perhaps they are beautiful and very elegant, but it will be very difficult to walk through snowdrifts and snow-covered streets. If you still decide to buy high-heeled boots, then choose a thick and stable option. And you can easily check whether you will fall on the ice: placing the boot on a flat surface, press on the middle. If the heel “moves off” to the side, then you are guaranteed to fall.

Sample is required!

It is better not to buy winter shoes without trying them on. Size chart varies greatly among different manufacturers. Therefore, by ordering your favorite size 37 boots in the online store, you can get the 35th. Moreover, fullness in the area of ​​​​the bootleg may also not be suitable.

It is better to try on boots in the evening, when the legs are a little swollen during the day. Otherwise, there is a risk that you will not fasten your boots after work. Shoes should not sit tight. You should feel comfortable in it. Hoping that the skin will stretch and the fur will take on is just stupid.

Buying shoes one size larger is also not advisable, as this leads to foot health problems. The most optimal thing is to try on the sock with which you plan to wear shoes in winter.

Zippers and buttons

The zipper must be easy to open and close. All lines should be even, and there should be no protruding threads.

It is best to buy a winter new thing in a specialized store. There you can try on several sizes and understand which one is yours. Take a walk and see if the pair is comfortable or choose something else. The online store loses a lot in this regard.

To get the right winter shoes, you need to seriously approach her choice. After all, not only mood, but also health depends on its quality. So choose winter shoes need right.

Unfortunately, today even a purchase in a large store of a well-known manufacturer can turn into a disappointment. The following simple recommendations will help you buy shoes that will last more than one season.

How to choose winter shoes?

• Appearance. All parts of the shoe must be tightly fitted to each other. Even a slight visible negligence in execution: a stain, a scratch, a crease or protruding threads and glue serve as a signal that there may be more hidden defects.

• Material. When choosing winter shoes it is better to give preference to natural leather. It retains heat better, is durable to wear and calmly tolerates deformation. Faux leather can crack or blister in the cold. If the manufacturer uses combined materials, then it is better that the upper of the shoe is made of synthetics, and the bottom is made of natural material. You can distinguish leatherette from genuine leather by touch: fake leather is cooler. Fur is also better to choose natural. It is warmer than artificial. You can distinguish faux fur by its shine, natural fur is more matte. In any case, the insole should be made only from natural materials.

• Sole. Most often, the sole is made of rubber, polyurethane and PVC. All these materials are waterproof and wear-resistant. Important role plays the ribbing of the sole. The more teeth and protrusions on it, the more confident you will feel on a slippery road. Make sure the sole is firmly sewn or glued. Don't give up glued shoes. Today, manufacturers use a very strong adhesive that can replace the firmware.

• Heel. Many women, even in winter, can not do without heels. For winter shoes, a plastic heel is not the best solution. Check the heel for strength, inspect the junction of the heel with the sole.

It is important to keep your feet warm to avoid colds and viruses. Every day of autumn is getting colder, it's time to think about purchasing warm and reliable shoes. After reading this article, you will learn how to choose winter shoes, pick up right size, and what materials you should pay attention to when buying.

Being fashionable is certainly good, but you should not put a sense of confidence above warmth and comfort.

How to choose the right winter shoes (materials)

Quality winter shoes are expensive! Save on material is not worth it. If you have a modest budget, don't worry, you can always find a profitable alternative.

• Leather;

Genuine leather shoes are not cheap, in return you get reliable protection from frost, moisture, slush and snow. The leather perfectly adapts to the shape of the foot, increasing the comfort of movement.

Your feet will not get wet, which means they will not freeze.

Having paid only 1 time, having bought a good leather shoe model, you will no longer think about the cold for several seasons in a row. (Provided that the leg no longer grows).

• Suede leather;

Did you know that natural suede is more expensive than leather, the incident is that many people think that suede is inverted leather. In fact, this material is called "split".

Natural suede, made from the last layer of deer skin, and it is used only in the expensive brands clothes of the world.

Our shoes are made from split wood, by the way, it is not so bad, the advantages include:

• ease;
• impermeability, subject to the use of impregnation.
• thermoregulation;
• comfortable wear in cold weather.

However, it is difficult to take care of split leather, you can often notice how traces of salt appear after walking, and after frequent use, peculiar lines form on the upper part of the material, which definitely does not decorate shoes.

• leatherette;

Everyone remembers from childhood, when my parents and I came to the market, and the sellers swore that this leather substitute was no worse than genuine leather. I will say, all these are fairy tales, leatherette shoes are still misfortune.

Synthetic material does not retain moisture well, lets your feet get wet, and then cracks. Bottom part shoes in the area of ​​​​the seam, stubbornly torn, despite the reusable self-gluing.

How to check leather shoes for naturalness

It is very difficult to distinguish leather from leatherette, even with proper skill. And for the average user, in the market, when shoes are so praised in the ear that you can go deaf, it’s almost impossible.

3 tips:

• Genuine leather gives off warmth in any situation, cool your hands a little, and then push them to the material. The leatherette will give off the outdoor temperature - you will not feel the heat.
• Pay attention to the cut of the material, small protrusions of the fabric remain near the seam, genuine leather will be a little fleecy.
• The natural fabric smells, but has a calm aroma, but the fake is strongly flavored, and its smell is cloying.

The most reliable way is to buy shoes in a special store, although the prices will unpleasantly surprise you.

How to choose the right FUR for winter shoes

Fur is no less important component of winter shoes than the upper material. It happens that when buying fur, it is so rich, fluffy, soft, and after a month nothing remains of it. This is how low-quality faux fur behaves.

Natural fur is determined simply, spread a few villi with your fingers, and shine a phone or a flashlight there, if you see fabric villi, then the fur is artificial.

♦ Important, choose only natural fur, it gives maximum comfort, while the legs do not sweat, they are just warm and comfortable. For cozy wear, choose winter high winter shoes with natural fur on all planes of the inside of the shoe.

Sole

For starters, the outsole material:

• rubber;
• polyurethane;
• polyvinyl chloride;

Any of these materials are good in winter weather, I give my preference to polyurethane, since it is the lightest of all, and there are no other differences.

It is much more important to pay attention to the thickness of the sole, at least 1 cm, otherwise, it will freeze through, and no fur will save you from the cold.

Further, choose a tread as diverse as possible so that there are as many recesses and bulges as possible, this aspect is most important for a slippery surface. There is only one conclusion, do not want to walk in a cast, choose a normal protector!

Also, men's and women's soles, no matter if it's a heel or a normal tread, should be soft. When a wheel is slightly lowered on a car, traction increases. The winter sole is selected according to the same principle.

How to choose the right size for winter shoes

You need to buy winter shoes in person and take a responsible approach to fitting, it is difficult to do this via the Internet. It is pointless to give a lot of advice, the main thing is to put on the model you like, and walk around the store a little in it, if it is quality shoes from genuine leather - it will NOT stretch, the fur will NOT sit down, therefore DO NOT listen to a consultant who wants to sell you a model that sits close to you.

Shoes should be small and rather big, be sure to measure on a warm toe, and to check, stick your index finger near the back, while not bending your toes, it must pass with little effort.

Quality, marriage and appearance shoes

For right choice winter shoes, it is important that you like them. Pay attention to the design, the quality of the seams, and compare both boots of the same pair. Try to find a few differences, quality shoes will never have them.

If the selected model is equipped with Velcro locks, laces, then check their quality as well, it will be good if you can detect a marriage without leaving the store.

For winter, choose dark models without bright decorative details, the more practical, the better.

Where to buy winter shoes

Everyone has 3 options to choose from:

— Market- a place with a bunch of fakes and sellers who "know everything." To find normal shoes hard, no service at all. In return, we get low prices.

— Online store- the quality can be absolutely anything, huge selection shoes at different prices. Also, there are disadvantages - it is difficult to choose the size and consider the signs of a fake in the picture.

— Special shoe store- high quality footwear wide range of, excellent service and the ability to try on without leaving the cash register, BUT high prices.

How to care for winter boots

You have already bought a pair of quality winter shoes, now you need to take care of them, how? Everything is simple, for example, the material is leather, go to any shoe store and already there you get a comprehensive set of shoe care.

Do not forget after the season, bring the shoes to the shoemaker, treat the surface with impregnation and put them in a secluded place without direct sun rays.
