Material selection.
First of all, we must look at the materials from which the upper part of the boots and the inner one are made.
Suede.
Very beautiful suede shoes. Matte pile gives this material a special attraction. If you are moving mostly by car, then safely buy such boots. But if you often walk the streets in winter or in bad weather, suede shoes will quickly lose their attractive appearance, since this material is unstable to street chemicals, and even ordinary puddles and slush for such shoes are contraindicated. In any case, proper care and careful attitude will significantly extend the life of shoes from suede.
Genuine Leather.
The advantages of genuine leather are obvious. Compared with artificial, it is more resistant to wear, has less thermal conductivity (legs will be warmer), legs will sweat less in it. A good quality leather is sometimes hard to distinguish from genuine leather. If you can find the unsplit edge of the material - carefully inspect it. At a natural skin there can not be a fabric lining, it is an attribute of that before you footwear from kozhzama.
Undead.
The boots - winter boots with fur on the outer part - have become incredibly popular a couple of seasons ago. Fur gives these boots a special, incomparable charm. This shoe is also found on the heel or without it.
Treads.
If you prefer mini-skirts and tight jeans in clothes, then you will use boots-boots. These long, above the knee, boots are demanding for your wardrobe and you will not wear them with any clothes, so it is not practical to call them shoes. They do not fit, for example, to long skirts or wide trousers, as they close their legs almost completely and such a combination is simply meaningless. Also, the jackboots often have a very high heel, which is inconvenient for those girls who spend a lot of time "on their feet" or driving. These boots are also on a flat sole, but in appearance they often lose to boots with high heels.
Secrets of fitting.
The fitting of boots should begin with standing up, trampling, trying - whether there is a boot where there is a new shoe, whether the feet do not take down and whether the toes rest on the toe. If not, then the fullness and size of the boots fit you. There is a very common opinion that boots for winter should be one size larger than yours. This is only partly correct. In too tightly seated shoes, the fur inside gets caught, and does not keep the heat properly, but after all the shoes wear out over time, so too loose shoes will become even freer. The choice of the density of the boots should be depending on whether you wear thick woolen socks or thin kapron tights.
Inspection of shoes: good boots or not.
Interior finishing.
The best material for the inner surface of winter boots is, of course, natural fur. It has a number of undeniable advantages over artificial fur: legs will not sweat and get wet, provide sufficient air circulation (the legs will "breathe"), better keep the heat. Artificial fur is deprived of all these qualities.
To determine the quality of fur, you need to pay attention to the following signs - natural fur thick and dense, if it is pressed - quickly straighten. Spread the nap with your fingers and carefully inspect the material on which the hair is located: the natural fur will be visible skin, and the artificial - the fabric backbone. Do not believe the words of the seller, who convinces you that the tissue base is "this is such a new technology." The fabric is much less dense than the skin, and in boots with artificial fur, the feet will freeze much faster.
Also, the cunning of manufacturers who use natural fur not on the entire inner surface of the boots, but only at the top, is lined with an artificial fur lining the area of the sock. Because of this sock, the warmth in winter boots will also be less.
Lightning, ornaments of boots.
Now carefully check the lightning - close and open it several times. Lightning should slide easily and without a hitch, it should not get a fabric lining or fur edges. Also from the inside, the lightning itself must be covered with a special lining, which will ensure better preservation of heat. If you want to choose boots with lacing, then the closer the lacing is to the toe, the easier it is to adjust the height of the rise of such boots, which increases the convenience of wearing them.
The clothes with which you will wear boots also play a role. Decorative brushes and rivets on boots can be, if you plan to wear them with a skirt or short trousers. And if your main clothes for the winter - it's pants or jeans, then these jewelry, firstly, will not be visible, and secondly, they can catch on to them or even break away. Check the quality of rivets, trying to twist and tear them - they must hold tightly, like poured. And the brushes should not have adhesive residues, which indicates a low quality of manufacturing.
Sole.
Pay special attention to the sole of your boots. It can be fastened with glue or thread, and can be cast, making up one whole with the boots. The thickness of the sole is also an important factor: the thicker the sole, the warmer the boots will be. Of course, women's boots usually have a lower thickness of the sole than men's, but it should be noted that in boots with a very thin (less than 1 cm) soles, the feet will not have heat. The most stable outsole is made of rubber, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride are also used - these materials do not get wet and are best suited for winter weather conditions.
