Shoe stores are now overcrowded. Many people, mostly women, look, feel, try on, consult and buy shoes. Sales girls scurry with boxes back and forth. The shopkeepers are satisfied with the revenue tally. There are no discounts. Because - the season. If you are not one of the thrifty and prudent girls who buy winter shoes in advance, in the spring and at a discount, but remember that you have nothing for the winter, only at the moment when your feet start to freeze in autumn shoes, read our tips for choosing warm winter boots. However, sensible girls can also familiarize themselves with them.

Are they fashionable?

Here they are, fashion winter boots, stand on the shelves, high and low, leather and suede, red and green, with round and pointed toes, with and without heels. Which ones to choose? Of course, you will be interested in those boots that you like externally. Someone is guided by their own taste, someone strictly follows fashion trends.

This winter - the well-known high "jockey boots" with low heels, into which jeans are tucked in, as well as super-glamorous boots from Ugg, which look wild and stylish at the same time. The latter will undoubtedly be appreciated by your fashionistas, but men will absolutely not understand. The squeak of the season is suede boots with suede-covered heels. Dandy girl cowboy style is also in vogue. Both pointed and round noses are welcome.

As for the decoration, here the more incomprehensible, the better, while pretentiousness should not prevail over sophistication. Popular blotches from fur, buffalo skin, crocodile skin, ostrich, snake. Decorations made of buttons, brooches, felt, pearls, diamond-shaped appliqués, embroidery, leather lace have not gone anywhere, they have only become less pretentious.

As for color, all shades of green and brown will be fashionable. Sensual burgundy, pink, orange, the color of ripe berries will also not lose their relevance. The traditional black color will be enlivened by the play of textures.

With or without heels?

Generally, in winter it is not recommended to wear boots with heels higher than 4, 5 cm, and even more so with a stiletto heel. But if you are not afraid of the danger of breaking your arms and legs after an unsuccessful walk on the asphalt covered with a thin crust of ice, or you move around the city exclusively from the car to the store (home, office) and back, please - nice men's look boots with stilettos are at your service. There is also a compromise option: buy shoes with wedges or stable medium heels for every day, and something higher for a Sunday trip to a restaurant.

By the way, flat-soled boots, so fashionable today among the younger generation, are also not the best option. Firstly, they, to put it mildly, do not lengthen the legs too much, and secondly, they contribute to the development of flat feet. In addition, when walking, there is a feeling as if you are moving on your heels. So a small steady heel or wedge heel is the golden mean for winter.

Is this really leather?

Let's say you have chosen trendy leather winter boots. How to tell if it is really leather? The easiest way is to hold your hand on the material. The skin will definitely get warmer, but the leatherette will remain cold.

If the "skin" shines unnaturally - this is one of the signs of a lack of quality. Some people know how to distinguish leather by smell and hairiness. Alas, this gift is not given to everyone.

There is another way to check the authenticity of the material, but I'm afraid the sellers will misunderstand you: clicking the lighter near the boot - the skin will not care, and the leatherette will remain tan. If you have already bought leather boots, but still cannot calm down about their authenticity, wet your shoes with water - real leather will immediately absorb vodu and darken.

Size matters?

Be wary of buying boots in size and size, and even fitting on nylon tights, without a sock. Squeezed into tight shoes, your feet will freeze in winter, since there will be no "gap" for warm air between the toe and the fur. So feel free to measure the 38th instead of the 37th and the 40th instead of the 39th, especially since in winter shoes the difference of one or two sizes is almost invisible to the eye - the grace of your legs will not suffer.

What else to check?

Check your heel to see if it slips off, if it's holding on tightly. See if the outsole is glued well. Those who think that only a stitched sole will last a long time are mistaken. Modern adhesives hold the sole so tightly that it does not need additional reinforcement. Conversely, "left" shoes, stitched with cotton thread and glued with bad glue, can fall apart in a week. The best "sole" materials are polyurethane and thermoplastic. It makes no sense to describe them - it is better to ask the seller to demonstrate examples of both.

If someone advises you to check the quality of the shoe, torturing the boot with the connection of the toe and heel, feel free to answer: "Nothing of the kind! In my favorite online magazine" Cleo "they write that a good boot should only bend slightly in the front part, where the foot bends when walking."

How to care for suede?

And why didn't you listen to your mother and aunt Lena, who in chorus dissuaded you not to buy this impractical suede? After all, it is not at all for our winter, slushy, dirty, with streets sprinkled with salt! But she is also so noble, soft, cozy, feminine, elegant … How can I understand you! But since you have connected your life with suede boots, you will have to take care of them properly.

I will say right away - black suede, earlier than suede of all other colors, breaks down, becomes whitish, loses its appearance. Brown and green shades that are fashionable this season will last much longer in this sense. But they also need an eye and an eye. Along with your new boots, immediately purchase from the store a special suede brush, water-repellent spray and suede paint of the desired color.

It is undesirable to wash the suede. It would be more correct to hold it over steam for a few minutes, and then brush it with a special brush. If the boots are badly "crushed", wash them with soapy water and ammonia. And do not be lazy in the evening to treat the suede with a moisture-repellent spray, because in the morning your efforts will be in vain - the spray will not have time to absorb. Does the suede lose color? Paint in a spray bottle will be used. Place clean boots stuffed with paper on a spread newspaper and "pollinate" the parts that have lost their brightness. Dry - will be as good as new.

If the winter is dry and dusty (it also happens), and your suede boots are constantly collecting dust, do this: first treat them with a water-repellent spray, and then, when dry, spray with an antistatic agent.

How to take care of your skin?

If your choice is leather boots, there will be fewer problems than with suede, but this does not mean that there will be none at all.

It is advisable to clean leather boots two to three times a week. To do this, you need a brush and quality cream. Low-quality creams have a pungent smell of a chemical solvent, and high-quality ones practically do not smell. Do not forget that at least ten hours must pass from the moment you clean your shoes to their publication. Only then will the cream be completely absorbed and will be able to protect the shoes.

Never place wet boots under the battery to dry. Let them dry at room temperature. Unpleasant odors from shoes can be eliminated by wiping them with a piece of cotton wool soaked in hydrogen peroxide. For the same purpose, a solution of potassium permanganate is also used.

And most importantly, remember - no sponges for shoes can replace cream and a brush. In addition, low-quality sponges soaked in glycerin will give the shoe a shine for only a couple of minutes, and then make the shoe a dust collector that terribly annoys its owner.

In general, choose your shoes thoughtfully, consider carefully, take care of them carefully, and then your legs will feel warm and comfortable, and you yourself will stand firmly and beautifully on your feet even in snowfall, in slush, even in frost in fashionable winter boots Antonio Biaggi.
