Finnish children boots
Why exactly Finnish footwear has been in high demand and popularity for many years in a row? Largely because the Finnish climatic conditions are similar to the Russian ones: wind, frost, high snow cover.
Therefore, when purchasing winter boots for children from Finnish manufacturers, you can be sure of their quality, reliability and practicality. Today, several Finnish manufacturers of children's shoes are represented on the Russian market, including KUOMA, Reima, LASSIE.
Features of Finnish children's boots
Despite the fact that manufacturers from Finland offer customers a wide range of products, winter boots for children are the most popular.
The main criteria for high-quality children's shoes are their high heat-saving ability, lightness, high-quality natural and artificial materials, comfort and convenience, practicality and aesthetic appeal. All these requirements are fully met by children's boots from Finland.
Outwardly, they resemble the boots familiar to everyone since childhood: they also warm the legs perfectly, are comfortable and practical. The boots have a unique ergonomic design that allows even the smallest children to easily cope with putting on and taking off shoes.
Winter boots are designed for low temperatures. This allows them to be used in areas with harsh climatic conditions.
Among the features and benefits of Finnish footwear are:
- the presence of a removable felt insole;
- the presence of reflective stripes on the boots;
- toe and heel are additionally reinforced to increase durability;
- the widest model and size range.
The sole of the boots deserves a separate mention.It is made of flexible and durable polyurethane. The sole is high, grooved, does not slip, does not crack, retains heat perfectly. The sole is molded to the base of the boot. Therefore, the flow or formation of cold bridges in the joints are excluded.
The upper layer of the boots is made of textiles treated with dirt and water repellent impregnation. The inner layer contains heat-insulating plastic that prevents moisture from entering the inside of the boot, even if the outside is wet.
Another feature of Finnish footwear is bright, colorful, rich colors and contrasting color prints.
For added convenience, many models are equipped with snow-retaining cuffs, and some parts of the boots are double-stitched. All these little things ensure that the boots are completely sealed when walking in wet weather.
Models
Outwardly, the different models of Finnish boots are quite similar. They all have roughly the same design and a thick, stable outsole.
They differ from each other by a fastener: Velcro can be narrow and wide, there can be a different number of them. Boots can be made with natural or artificial fur. Different models differ from each other in colors and prints: for girls - these are brighter shades, for boys - more restrained.
In general, the range of colors is quite diverse. First of all, these are black, blue, black, pink, red, green boots. Stars, snowflakes, space elements, abstraction, fantasy patterns, flowers and animals are used as prints.
How to choose and care for Finnish boots?
Finnish boots are made in exact accordance with the size grid, that is, they cannot be “oversized” or “undersized”. But you need to buy them with a small margin (about 1-1.5 cm). This is the only way to ensure the "correct" operation of the boots. The boot will sit tightly enough on the leg without rubbing it, and the child will be comfortable and warm.
If Finnish boots are purchased for the first time, then you need to choose the best clothing option for them. After each walk, it is recommended to check the inside of the boot and the child's leg for freezing.
In warm weather, it is enough to wear cotton socks or tights under the boots. Thermosocks can be used at low temperatures.
Finnish boots are also comfortable because they do not require any special care.
For example, textile models can be machine washed in warm water. Remove the insole before washing. It is enough to wipe the rest of the boots with a wet cloth or wash by hand in case of very heavy dirt.
