Boots for girls
Recently, boots have become a popular model of footwear for children, and this applies not only to boys, but also to girls. Despite their slightly rude look, they nevertheless look very stylish on little women of fashion.
Models
The range of children's boots is huge. And it should be noted that this season, elements of adult fashion are being introduced to children's collections as much as possible, in particular, urban style combined with the direction of the military. In this regard, it is quite logical to look in children's collections rude boots, reminiscent of military and tourist equipment.
For girls, not very high lace-up boots in the style of the 90s are popular, they give the image of a little fashionista a deliberate negligence. By the way, such models can be worn even in summer - they can be made of lightweight material and are often decorated with transparent or lace inserts.
Another fashionable option for girls' boots is slightly awkward models that evoke memories of the distant 60s. They are very practical and have an interesting design. Options with a rounded nose and a low platform that replace a wide heel look especially stylish. Note that the height of the platform in this case is thought out ideally for a child's leg. The original solution is boots decorated with fur pom-poms, so the decor smooths out the roughness of this shoe.
It is appropriate to put on boots for a girl as soon as she began to learn to walk.
Such models must necessarily have a hard heel to avoid ankle dislocation.
In this respect, boots are safer than knitted booties and textile slippers. In addition, the child will be more confident and correct in placing the foot.
As for shoes for the smallest fashionistas, it is better to choose shoes with Velcro - this is convenient, since the baby can put them on and off on her own. In addition, shoes for this age category are usually decorated with appliqués (floral and other ornaments) or images of cartoon characters.
Older girls (senior preschool age and schoolgirls) can already be offered models with a zipper or lacing, be sure to ask their daughter's opinion.
As for the height of the bootlegs, for spring and autumn, models that slightly cover the ankle are more appropriate. There are always more requirements for winter footwear. The best option is elongated boots insulated with fur.
Very comfortable footwear - orthopedic shoes that contribute to the correct formation of children's feet. They help prevent the development of flat feet or get rid of existing symptoms.
Recently, among children and adolescents, shoes on wheels have become popular, which contributes to the development of a child's physical activity. In this capacity, not only sneakers can act, but also boots (the so-called roller boots). In addition, boots for girls can also be equipped with LED lights, which is especially important at night.
Materials (edit)
Natural leather is the best material for children's boots. Soft and elastic (unlike leatherette), it does not impede ventilation, absorbs excess moisture and retains heat perfectly. In addition, when worn, leather shoes adapt to the peculiarities of the foot of their mistress, "remember" them, which allows you to avoid such a nuisance as calluses. By the way, therefore, it is undesirable to pass on the shoes "by inheritance" - even if the used shoes look great, they are already deformed by the foot of another child. As for artificial leather, it is permissible if the decoration and decorative elements are made from it.
Boots for girls made of patent leather look stylish and elegant, but such options are unacceptable for winter - at sub-zero temperatures, such material begins to crack.
Parents should be aware of some of the tricks that manufacturers often go for when they want to sell their shoes profitably.
Genuine leather can only be inside the boot, while the outside is replaced by a synthetic analogue. To get to the truth, look inside the shoe for a tag with icons that indicate the material of the upper, lower part and sole of the product.
The image of the skin is leather, the mesh is textiles, the diamond indicates other materials.
Also, sometimes, under the guise of traditional leather, unscrupulous manufacturers sell split leather - a raw material of poor quality, which is the inner part of the skin left after cutting the outer leather layer. The split is loose and heavy, almost does not stretch. Typically, this material is used to create lining for shoes and workwear. The boots, which are entirely made of split leather, are close in quality to leatherette products: they are hard, poorly ventilated, and are not worn for long. A child's foot in such shoes will always sweat. The bad news is that outwardly such second-rate leather is practically indistinguishable from natural. Therefore, buy boots for your daughter from trusted firms and do not rush to rejoice when you see leather goods with a suspiciously low cost.
Winter children's boots must be additionally insulated. The best option is natural sheepskin, which is very warm. For a not too frosty winter, products with artificial fur are also appropriate. The difference between these materials is very simple: synthetic fur has a shiny shine, which the natural analogue lacks. In addition, under the first one you can find a skin, and under the second - an ordinary cloth. The fur should be evenly distributed inside and have a medium pile length.
For late autumn and warm winter, it is optimal for a girl to purchase boots made of a membrane material that protects the shoes from getting wet. The membrane is a thin layer of fluoroplastic sewn between the top and the insulation.
As for textile boots, they are mainly light options for summer and early fall. Most often, jeans and linen are used for these purposes. Warmer models are made of cloth, drape, felt or felt. For a warm winter, many parents buy inflated boots for their schoolgirl daughters. The disadvantage of such shoes is that they get dirty easily, get wet and are devoid of a hard back. Girls who have not yet formed a foot (under 8 years old) should not wear such shoes too often.
The highest quality material for the sole of the boots is polyvinyl chloride and thermoplastic elastomer. As for polyurethane, it can break at low temperatures. The material should be plastic so that the sole flexes well when walking.
Popular colors
The universal colors of boots for girls are gray and brown, black and burgundy. However, brighter shoes attract the attention of those around them, including other children, and help the child to become more self-confident. So, girls' boots in wine and purple shades, as well as terracotta and olive models, look original. White shoes are always elegant and smart. And young women of fashion themselves adore pink in its various shades.
Brands
Considering brands that specialize in the production of children's shoes, we highlight the Turkish trademark Minimen, which for thirty years of its work has gained worldwide fame. The footwear of this company is distinguished by stylish design, quality and reliability. Models are developed in collaboration with European designers, resulting in products in the spirit of the latest fashion trends in the world of children's and teenage fashion.
Natural and synthetic materials of high quality are flexible and durable, excellent heat retention and moisture protection, are not subject to deformation.
Among domestic manufacturers of children's shoes, the brand called "Kapika" has won the trust of consumers. The company's products are sewn not only in factories in Russia, but also in Italy, Moldova, Turkey and large factories in China. Experienced technologists control the production process at all stages, the products comply with GOSTs.
Membrane boots occupy a worthy place in the range of Kapika children's footwear. Due to its unique properties, these shoes create an optimal microclimate for the child's feet and are an ideal solution for autumn dampness and winter thaw. The membrane looks like a sock inside the boot, not reaching the top, and protects the child's leg exactly where it is really needed.
Antelope is another well-known Russian trade mark aimed at children. The brand's products delight parents with an optimal price-quality ratio. The boots are made taking into account the anatomical features of a child's foot. The child's heel is securely fixed in them while walking, while the fingers are not constrained, which ensures good blood flow. Your daughter's legs will not get tired in the Antelope boots.
The fall models of the brand have, as a rule, flat soles and a rounded toe. The high top is comfortable for the rainy off-season. Winter options are distinguished by a thick sole and a nap lining. And the heel and toe parts of the shoe reinforced with inserts make it more wear-resistant.
What to wear with?
Modern shoes for girls are good because they are combined not only with everyday clothes (trousers, leggings), but also with delicate and elegant things. The secret of this compatibility lies in the lightness of the shoe material and the correct color schemes.For example, low-rise leather boots with a zipper with minimal decor in pastel colors (pink or beige), worn with a fashionable tutu skirt, will create a charming airy look that looks very stylish.
