Shops and boutiques offer a wide range of winter shoes from well-known brands.
We decide: for what purposes is a new thing needed? Walking around the city, walking with children in the park or maybe for an extreme hiking trip?
What should be winter shoes?
In the photo: Graceland women's winter boots What is the first thing you should pay attention to when choosing shoes for the winter:
- on the quality of materials;
- on the sole - it should not let the cold through, not slip and be wear-resistant;
- winter shoes should preferably have a membrane that protects against getting wet;
- for modern insulation.
Materials that are used for the production of winter shoes
In the production of shoes for the cold season, they usually use:
- genuine leather;
- suede;
- nubuck;
- textile;
- nylon fabric.
Each of these materials has its pros and cons.
shoes from genuine leather, of good quality and with water-repellent impregnation will protect your feet from cold and dampness. However, you don’t need to walk in it all day through puddles and loose snow: in the end it will get wet, and then it will dry for a long time. In such shoes, you can walk along the paths cleared of snow from home to the subway, and then to the office.
A good solution for bad weather is combined shoes, which incorporate rubberized "galoshes". If the outer material of such shoes (suede, textiles, nylon) is treated with water-repellent impregnation, then slush and dirt will not be terrible.
Many well-known manufacturers produce membrane shoes, for example, Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex winter boots provide the most effective protection against getting wet.

Water and snow remain outside and do not penetrate inside, while moisture in the form of perspiration can easily come out. Thanks to the thermally insulated lining, the shoes reliably protect from the cold, making them ideal for various outdoor activities.
For example, the very warm and stylish Haglofs Krylbo GT high boots for cold weather combine a Gore-Tex membrane.

Modern technologies make it possible to create such a sole that combines 3 main qualities at once: it does not let the cold through, does not slip and does not crack from frost and reagents.
If you choose shoes for winter outdoor activities, then pay attention: the sole of such shoes should be thicker than regular shoes, with a deeper tread.
Often, manufacturers supply such shoes with an intermediate insole made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). It simultaneously plays the role of a heat insulator and a shock absorber. Shoes with such an insole are much better protected from frost.
Also in winter shoes, the patented vulcanized rubber sole of the world leader in the production of soles - Vibram is often used. The composition of its components is impressive, and the tread has a complex pattern - all this makes such shoes very wear-resistant.

The Vibram sole was invented in Italy back in 1937. Shoes with Vibram soles will immediately be noticed on the store shelf thanks to the yellow octagon - a kind of "gold" standard in the world of footwear for all types of outdoor activities.
What kind of insulation should be in winter shoes for sports?
Modern technologies have made it possible to abandon the use of natural insulation, which has been used for centuries in the manufacture of winter shoes - fur and wool.
In the photo: Adidas CW Adisnow children's winter boots with Primaloft insulation Well-known brands use Thinsulate and Primaloft synthetic insulation in the manufacture of sports winter shoes. These materials with high heat capacity and low weight are expensive. But they save even from the most severe frosts and are not afraid of moisture.
Insulation for winter shoes for the city
For urban winter footwear, natural wool, fur, textiles and sometimes down are used.
For example, women's shoes from the new Rendez-Vous by Giorgio Fabiani winter collection are made from high quality materials. The upper part of the boot top is made of soft double-face - single-layer leather, the front side of which is a suede or smooth surface, and the wrong side is natural fur. The exclusive of the models is the technology by which the Bottom part half boot

The two-layer bottom of the boot protects the feet from cold, moisture and keeps its shape better, while the single-layer upper provides lightness and a soft fit.
Reinforced heels protect Giorgio Fabiani midboots from trampling and getting wet, preventing the suede or leather on the heel from touching the ground.
The welt that connects the sole and the upper is made of genuine leather, not textile, as in the models of other brands. The leather welt protects against wetting, warping and premature abrasion, plus it is less soiled and easier to clean with your usual leather care products.

Models of men's winter shoes
Russian winter would not be written about in poetry and prose if it were not so severe and unpredictable. Shoes this season in Russia are waiting for special tests: either frost to -30 degrees, then sleet, then slush, then caustic reagents on the roads. At the same time, there are not so many shoe manufacturers who would be guided by our winters. There are even fewer options for winter models that would fit under an office dress code. Nevertheless, there are high-quality men's shoes for 50 degrees of frost and our changeable winter. The main thing is to know where to look for it, and what kind of shoes a man wants to buy. For everyday wear in the cold season, there are several options:- "Work boots" - a universal option for harsh winters: powerful, warm, high on thick soles. These are familiar to everyone from the models of Timberland, CAT, Patrol. Suitable for those who spend a lot of time on the street and are not burdened with a dress code.
- "Duck boots" - so named because their noses resemble either duck beaks or paws. The front part of these models is covered with a rubber layer, due to which the shoes become resistant to moisture and more durable. Optimum "duck boots" for regions with big amount rainfall and European winter, for low temperatures it is unlikely to fit, as well as a business suit.
- Sports shoes - will survive any bad weather and warm in the cold. Their advantage is that it is on such models that manufacturers most often experiment, introducing new technologies and synthetic compounds into production. Often, models of sports shoes are equipped with special valves for ventilation and a layer that retains heat. Suitable for casual wear.
- Shoes with fur are a rarity and shoes "for an amateur". Look like classic male shoes, only with thick soles and with fur trim inside. Perfect for a classic suit and fit into the business dress code.
- Classic boots are the best option for those who are forced to comply with the dress code, but are not brave enough to buy shoes with natural fur. Such models are made of genuine leather, with fur trim inside. They are taller than shoes, but under classic trousers in fact they are no different.
How to choose high-quality winter men's shoes
Now that the desired model is selected, you can start shopping. The main thing is to know how to choose a men's winter shoes. Experts recommend paying attention to the following points:
- Material. If the shoes have to live in a harsh winter, genuine leather or nubuck will do. These materials are durable, able to retain heat and tolerate deformation well. Suede is not so practical, in winter it will get dirty and suffer from reagents, and the leather substitute will quickly crack or tear in the cold. You can distinguish leatherette from natural material by simply touching it: artificial leather will be cool to the touch, and real leather will be warm. For greater confidence, it is better to check the cuts: the inside of the leatherette will be fabric, and the real leather will be fleecy.
- insulation. Only natural fur is not afraid of severe frosts. If you push it apart with your fingers, you will see a fleecy base, the artificial material has a fabric base. Quite often, manufacturers deceive buyers by decorating the visible inside of the shoes with natural fur, and socks with artificial fur, so the owners of such winter boots constantly get cold toes.
- Sole. The best men's winter boots will only have soles that are thicker than one centimeter. Anything that is thinner will not warm in winter. The ideal materials for this shoe element are rubber, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride - they do not let water through. But not leather: it slips very strongly in winter, just like any smooth non-grooved sole.
- Size. It is better to choose winter shoes one or even two sizes larger. Firstly, it will be possible to wear boots with warm socks, and secondly, it will be better for the thermoregulation process to take place, and the feet will not freeze for a long time.
- Price. Obviously, the warmest winter shoes cannot be very cheap. The low cost should alert more than please. However, you can still save on purchases by using a service that works directly with suppliers. The Ferlenz online store is just that, so you can buy shoes on this site a little cheaper than in most other stores.
