It's still summer, but many mothers are already thinking about winter shoes - after all, in the cold season, you also want to take long walks with your baby. But the main question arises: which shoe manufacturer should you prefer, what should you buy - boots with a membrane or with fur?

Many people wear regular boots with fur + wool sock. The fur should be uncut, then your feet will not freeze for a long time. It will be much warmer if the shoes are decorated with fur, i.e. fur both inside and outside.

Suede heats up less in the cold, so it is warmer than leather. But it should not be thin velor, but rough suede with fur.

High boots are quite comfortable - they are industrially produced in leather, inside natural fur, and outside - artificial. They are warm and comfortable.

In shoes with a membrane Gore-tex If you don't move, your feet will freeze. Gore-Tex is a highly porous polymer membrane. It is absolutely waterproof, but does not prevent the passage of vapors. The membranes are quite thin, so they are also protected by external and internal lining layers. The ability to “breathe” appears only when the air temperature on the inside of the membrane is higher than on the outside.

Shoes Ecco Gore-tex + thermal socks + movement = warmth guaranteed. This shoe also has a special CFS (Comfort Fiber System) insole. It guarantees not only air circulation, but also walking comfort.

U Columbia There are very warm boots, comfortable and non-slip. The option, although sporty, will not suit a fur coat or sheepskin coat.

Very warm shoes Lowa. For insulation, an optimized combination of polyester and polyamide materials is used.

Thanks to this, it retains heat for a long time and removes moisture outside. Special attention is given to women's shoes - all the structural features of the female foot are taken into account.

Shoes Clarks It may look unprepossessing, but for the winter down to -45 - just right! These winter shoes have a special design that ensures continuous air circulation inside, so your feet do not sweat while walking.

You can also purchase winter boots with a very warm inner lining. Hi-Tec; They are without fur, but their feet do not freeze down to -32.

The modern shoe market can provide many models that meet all these requirements. Read this article to learn how to choose the perfect winter shoes.

The main types of ideal winter shoes

To choose the perfect pair of winter shoes for yourself, you need to decide in what conditions you plan to wear them: will it be short runs from the entrance to the car, public transport or long walks through the winter forest. For each purpose, it is advisable to select the appropriate model.

Here are the most common options for winter shoes today, from which everyone can choose the ideal model for themselves:

  • boots;
  • uggs, dutik;
  • boots;
  • sneakers.

The main characteristics that define high-quality winter shoes are as follows:

  • material of manufacture;
  • the sole is dense and elastic, impervious to cold, non-slip on ice and resistant to abrasion;
  • insulation – natural or artificial, protecting the legs from hypothermia;
  • It is better to choose shoes for active pastime with a membrane that does not allow moisture to pass through.

For the changeable winter in Russia, when the snow that fell the day before turns into liquid porridge the next day and freezes overnight, covering the streets with a layer of ice, the first thing you should pay close attention to is the sole.

Thanks to the development of technology in shoe production, it was possible to create a sole that combines protection from cold, anti-slip properties and resistance to reagents.

For active recreation in winter period Preference should be given to boots or shoes with thick textured soles.

For additional thermal insulation and shock absorption, many famous brands use an additional insole made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Winter shoes with this layer become much warmer and more comfortable.

One of the most famous manufacturing companies, Vibram, makes soles for winter shoes from patented vulcanized rubber using high-quality materials; It is distinguished by its large thickness and complex tread pattern, making such a sole almost eternal.

Boots as ideal winter footwear

Mid-ankle boots with thickened, textured soles can easily be called the ideal winter footwear for unpredictable weather conditions. They are warm, comfortable, waterproof and non-slip.


When choosing the perfect winter boots, you need to consider some nuances:

1. Insulation

It is the inner lining that determines how warm the boots or shoes will be, so it is worth taking a closer look at it. For insulation, felt, fur (natural and artificial), and various modern high-tech materials are most often used. Among insulation materials made from synthetic fibers, Thinsulate and GORE-TEX occupy a leading position. Having them in your shoes ensures that your feet are protected from the cold all day long. Currently, there are many high-quality materials; you can search for information about them on the Internet or find reviews on forums to choose the ideal option for yourself.

2. Upper material

Leather shoes are not cheap, but they will reliably protect you from the cold in winter and, with proper care, will last for more than one season. In addition, it can say a lot about the taste and style of its owner. Boots made of suede and nubuck, impregnated with water-repellent compounds, are less practical, but are also very popular and look very impressive.

Not as attractive, but more versatile are shoes made from modern synthetic materials designed for winter sports and just active recreation. Brands specializing in the production of such products are constantly looking for new solutions to make sports boots as comfortable as possible and suitable for different weather conditions.

3. Sole material

Many shoe manufacturers develop and patent their own sole materials that are flexible and wear-resistant. They do not have significant differences from each other, so it is difficult to single out and recommend the best brand.

Women's boots can be worn with thick leggings or tight jeans. A long sweater in a neutral color will help complete the look. color scheme and volumetric snood. The ideal outerwear for winter boots is undoubtedly a long-cut parka. However, much depends on the style of the shoes themselves: whether they are rough boots with tractor soles or an elegant wedge model, you should choose your ideal look accordingly.

No less ideal winter shoes are UGG boots and dutik boots.

These are one of the most comfortable, and therefore most popular options for winter boots. They have their advantages and disadvantages, and they have many fans among both young and older people.

UGG boots– soft boots made of tanned sheepskin with fur inside and a flat rubber sole. These are ideal winter shoes for those who prefer coziness and comfort, but they have a number of significant disadvantages. The suede surface of UGG boots does not cope well with moisture and reagents that cover the streets in winter. If you wear UGG boots every day in any weather, they will very quickly lose their attractiveness. appearance. In addition, the foot is not fixed in any way, which means that the load on the spine is distributed incorrectly, which can later lead to back pain and the development of flat feet.


To choose the perfect ugg boots, you need to pay attention to the following features:

  • Sheepskin retains heat well with a uniform layer of fibers - dense and thick;
  • a thin and hard sole will cause discomfort and provide poor protection from the cold;
  • the joints must be smooth, without protruding threads or traces of glue;
  • If you don’t want to get your feet wet and throw away your damaged boots, it’s better to wear leather UGG boots in the slush.

If you really want to wear only UGG boots, you can find a compromise - buy a model with a genuine leather upper and put an orthopedic insole inside. Certainly, original shoes American or Australian production is not cheap; the price of such a pair can be about $150.

With UGG boots you can create a stylish look in casual style by wearing them with skinny jeans or thick black leggings, long shirt or a sweatshirt and complement the look with a massive decoration.

Dutiki- These are inflated waterproof winter boots, the ideal winter footwear for unpredictable weather conditions. Another name for dutiks is moonboots or lunar rovers (eng. moon boot), obtained, obviously, due to the similarity with the shoes of astronauts. Previously, only children wore such boots, but their convenience and functionality allowed them to quickly migrate into the arsenal of shoes for adults. They keep feet warm and dry in slush and sub-zero temperatures, and also come in a wide range of colors.

Usually dutiks are made from raincoat fabric with water-repellent impregnation, from which down jackets are also sewn. Fur, fleece or GORE-TEX, which are in no way inferior to each other, can be used as insulation.

The big advantage of these boots is that they allow air to pass through well, preventing your feet from sweating and without losing their heat-saving properties. Dutiks can be called ideal winter shoes for long walks and for active recreation, and treatment with water-repellent compounds makes them indispensable during the snow melting period. In addition, caring for them is as simple as possible, compared to other types of winter shoes; You can just wipe off dirt from them with a damp cloth.

As for the layout to create an image, duttik fits well into a sporty style. Combining them with jeans is acceptable, but pairing these boots with leggings and a sweatshirt would be ideal.

Ideal winter shoes - boots

Boots are the most common and popular option for winter footwear; their choice is huge, so it’s easy to get confused when choosing your ideal pair.


Very often, unscrupulous manufacturers, saving on materials and technology, strive to sell low-quality goods at a price many times higher than its true cost.

In order not to fall for various tricks of sellers and buy truly high-quality shoes, always consider the following parameters:

1. Quality of material

Certainly, Genuine Leather- an ideal material for making shoes, both winter and demi-season, but even it does not guarantee the durability of the product if production technologies are not followed and low-quality raw materials are used.
