What's the perfect pair of boots for winter? A guide to cold weather.
The Polish winter can be very capricious. One has to be prepared for both the 15-degree frost and sudden warming resulting in rapid snowmelt. In such conditions, the choice of footwear for the weather outside is of particular importance. Frost and dampness are the opponents of comfort. Slush and road salt, on the other hand, can cause permanent damage to footwear. So what should a good pair of winter boots have? Which cut should you choose to feel comfortable and stylish? Here are some tips!
How to choose the best boots for winter?
When choosing boots for winter, thermal comfort is key. Especially when temperatures outside drop below zero. It is difficult to enjoy a winter walk when your toes are numb from the cold. Thermal comfort is influenced by a number of factors, including the type of materials the footwear is made of, the height of the upper, additional insulation or lack thereof.
Water resistance is no less important. Wet socks negatively affect the comfort of the wearer. Wet feet and freezing temperatures are a simple recipe for... cold! It's also worth remembering that soaked shoes deteriorate more quickly. Excessive moisture can cause the material to crack, the seams to come loose, and ultimately damage the shoe permanently. In a damp environment, bacteria responsible for unpleasant odours can multiply more quickly and are difficult to get rid of.
When choosing shoes for colder weather, it is also worth paying attention to the material of the sole. In winter, many pavements turn into an ice rink. In poor-quality shoes, it is therefore not difficult to "make an eagle". A sole made of high-quality plastic with grooves is able to minimise the risk of a fall.
The best boots for winter - in leather, eco-leather or another material?
Which winter boots will work best when the cold weather arrives? The type of materials from which they are made is of great importance. The most popular models are made of natural leather, eco leather or textile materials. What are the differences?
Women's winter boots made of natural leather are distinguished by, among other things, their price. Why is this solution the most expensive? Natural leather is one of the most durable materials used for footwear. Thanks to its high elasticity, it adapts perfectly to the shape of the foot. It is also characterised by excellent breathability. It is resistant to cracking and other damage, although quite demanding. Waterproofing is the first thing we should do after buying new natural leather shoes. However, the care of winter leather shoes is not complicated. You can find many preparations on the market that help to keep your footwear in good condition throughout the season.
Also very popular are boots, high boots and snow boots made of eco leather, which perfectly imitates natural leather. It is a material that is easy to care for and resistant to moisture, although less flexible and breathable.
What about footwear made from textiles? Are they good shoes for winter? Textile footwear will do well in late autumn or in the event of a snowless winter. Excessive moisture can cause them to deteriorate and get wet faster.
Warm or stylish? You don't have to choose! The times when winter boots were either comfortable or fashionable are long gone. Today's designers place the emphasis not only on wearing comfort, but also on modern design and attractive colours. You can choose from a wide range of styles - from classic high boots and elegant insulated boots to futuristic snow boots and striking glans.
