Winter is the current time for choosing warm shoes.
The range of this accessory is huge for both children and adults. Manufacturers do not stand still and come up with more and more interesting and original models. So little fashionistas can choose shoes for every taste.
Fashion Models
Shoes for children change in shape and material according to age characteristics.
If for babies under one year old shoes are used for insulation and are not necessarily wear-resistant, then for active babies the main indicator is their permeability. At the same time, for teenagers, shoes are a fashion accessory and a way of self-expression. But girls of all ages appreciate beauty in shoes.
The lineup is diverse:
- snowboots are shoes consisting of three layers: a detachable woolen boot, a membrane and a polypropylene layer. They keep warm even in thirty-degree frost.
- leather and suede boots - classics of the genre - are suitable for women of fashion, are not designed for temperature extremes, than they are inferior to other warm "brothers".
- Membrane boots - lightweight, waterproof and warm boots, produced using modern technologies. There is a warm fur lining inside.
- felt boots, felt boots - today they are full of colors and decorations, giving originality to their mistress. Therefore, girls are happy to wear such a Russian folk version of shoes.
- High fur boots - boots made of leather, the top of which is covered with sheep's fur, which provides warmth and comfort, relieving the child of damp feet.
- moon boot - boots in the style of an astronaut. They are lightweight and comfortable, their practicality can be envied, they are resistant to ice. Little beauties like these shoes - they are comfortable to run in and they are not limited by the number of colors.
Beauty lovers have their own delights:
- multi-colored - give the image of the child brightness and confidence. Girls like to wear shoes that match the color of their jackets or hats, which in turn helps to develop a sense of style and proportion. White, turquoise, silver colors of boots look fresh and stylish;
- with embroidery - sequins - one of the favorite adornments of little lovers of everything shiny. Also, girls love when their shoes are decorated with embroidery with all kinds of flowers, berries, heroes of fairy tales and cartoons;
- glowing - such boots are chosen by girls in preschool and young age, they are attractive and look bright, especially against the background of white snow. The secret of such beauty is the small bulbs built into the sole. It is worth noting that they will secure a night walk or an evening return home - after all, in the twilight it is difficult to notice a child on the road.
Fashionistas over 12 years old choose boots with heels.
But there is a more stable option - the platform. By combining the heel and the foot, the girl can feel confident and not be afraid to screw up on the very first bump. The main thing is not to overdo it with height. The optimal version of the platform for a girl is 3-5 cm. This version of the shoe keeps warm, due to the fact that the platform forms a greater distance between the feet and the snow. These models look more beautiful when their length ends at the knee, while it looks stylish and allows the girl to feel more feminine.
For parents, the orthopedic component of the shoe is important.
They can be not only a method of treating foot disorders, but also prophylactic support for a child's leg. They reduce the stress on the child's spine due to the correct shape of the sole. Children have a correct gait and a beautiful posture. This is the best first shoe for babies.
Length
The length of boots for women of fashion is very diverse - from short ankle boots to long knee-length boots.
In winter, you should pay attention to long boots so that snow cannot get into them and the child does not get his feet wet. But boots that are too long in height prevent the child from developing a gait. Acceptable and comfortable height for a girl is 15-25 cm.
Material
The most preferred material for a girl of fashion is leather. It is a natural, breathable product. Does not deform and does not allow moisture to pass through.
Suede is not much inferior to leather boots, but there is a minus - such shoes get wet and get dirty quickly. Needs constant cleaning and maintenance. That is, it is not practical for children.
Another material that has burst onto the shelves is polyurethane.
Most practical for kids. It is lightweight, waterproof and keeps you warm even in extreme cold. Another plus is the solid sole and boot, which increases durability. But there are also disadvantages - the sole on such boots does not always allow you to hold on steadily. It is designed for three seasons, depending on the temperature, only the lining changes.
Fur shoes - traditional felt boots and new items - ugg boots. They are warm and lightweight shoes. Minus of both those and others in water permeability. If you can still wear galoshes on boots, then this will not work with ugg boots. But natural and high-quality ugg boots are able to withstand the blow of slush.
Color and print
Shoes on the shelves are replete with various shades - from ordinary black to combined in several colors. You can choose shoes to match your clothes and your mood. Girls love bright things, and it is especially good if they look beautiful on the leg.
Light-colored shoes are suitable for older girls, but for younger girls, darker or motley shoes are suitable.
Little princesses love it when their shoes are "inhabited" by cartoon characters - princesses, animals; various flowers and butterflies. Everything that makes them different from the rest of the girls.
How to choose?
An important function of winter shoes is keeping warm, so the choice must be taken seriously.
First of all, this is the material from which the shoes are made.The ideal option is leather shoes with natural fur - it stretches and allows air to pass through, allowing the leg to breathe. No less warm materials are suede and felt.
There should be no foreign inclusions, cracks or stains on the material. Next, we consider the seams - there should not be any damage or breaks. It is also important to consider the zippers and Velcro on the boots, they should be intact and snug. In this case, the child must try to cope with them himself, because he will wear them.
It is important to consider the material for the insulation:
- natural fur is warm and lightweight, non-toxic material. To determine whether the fur in your child's shoes is natural, you need to move the fur apart and see what it is attached to. If this is a fabric, then this is not natural fur, but its substitute. If it is attached to the skin, then this is a natural material.
- tinsulate, isoft - a novelty among heaters. It is lightweight and allows you to protect the leg from frost even at -30 degrees, allowing the child to actively move. The popularity of this material is growing every year.
- membrane is the best material according to many parents. The demand for it is that the membrane allows you to regulate heat transfer, due to the small holes in the insole. This means that the child's leg does not overheat and is dry in any weather. Which is good for active kids.
The sole of the boots should be soft and flexible, with good tread to prevent falls on ice.
There should be no glue anywhere. The insole should be warm and preferably attached to the sole so as not to interfere with the child's walking. You should choose shoes with a small heel, in order to avoid flat feet in a child, or choose shoes with an instep support.
Next, we check the size.
There is a rule of "one toe" - the child puts on the boot pushing his toes tightly to the toe, and you push your toe between the heel and the boot. If the finger passes, then you are not mistaken with the size. Do not forget that winter shoes are worn with a warm toe, so you should not take them back to back. Trying on and buying is better done in the afternoon, because when you walk, your legs swell and become larger, which makes shopping in the morning difficult.
There is no need to buy shoes "for growth", the shoes will be uncomfortable and the girl will stumble and fall.
Taking into account the activity of children, it must be borne in mind that until the time when the shoes are in time, neither beauty nor warmth may remain from the boots themselves.
It is best to buy shoes in stores - there it is warm, and they will give a guarantee for shoes, and in which case there will be where to turn.
It is important not to forget that your future girlfriend is growing up. It means that it is important to instill a sense of taste and proportion from childhood. Colors and decorations can be any, the main thing is that they look beautiful and fit the clothes in which the child walks.
What to wear with?
Snowboards, moon boot, membrane boots - all these are sports shoes. Therefore, they look beautiful with bologna pants and children's ski suits.
Uggs, felt boots and high boots look cute with a children's fur coat and a long jacket.
Bright boots look good with jackets that are similar in color, or balanced with the image using a hat and gloves with a matching scarf.
Leather and suede shoes look advantageous both with coats and long jackets.
The main thing is not to forget about the sense of proportion, and to combine shoes with the outerwear of the child.
Reviews
Children's shoes are a frequently discussed accessory, because every parent worries about the health and comfort of their child.
So, many parents emphasize the practicality of membrane boots and snowboards. Highlighting durability, waterproofness and warmth in them. Another plus is the low price. At the same time, a minus of some models often sounds - an unstable sole, it can be difficult to stay on them in ice.
But ugg boots and felt boots, on the contrary, upset many parents by the fact that, despite their convenience, they quickly get wet.
Only laudatory reviews are assigned to the moon boot boots.The only thing you can find fault with is a low boot, so the snow quickly gets inside.
Classic leather boots carry positive reviews, but many parents simply feel sorry for giving such expensive shoes to their fidgets to be torn apart. These are shoes for going out rather than for everyday wear.
As for the clasp, opinions vary.
Some for a solid top, because it protects from snow, when others say that such boots are uncomfortable to put on, and the heel quickly deteriorates from constant pulling. Not many voted for Velcro, because over time, from constant getting wet and getting all kinds of debris, their effectiveness is lost. The most acceptable option is a zipper, but here is a minus - if it is located on the side of the boots, it quickly wears out and melting snow can get through it. The best option is a zipper in the front. And it is even better if an elastic band is stretched along the top of the shoe, which can be tightened using a special retainer.
The shoe line has always fascinated the "uneven breathing" to the shoes.
Today, the price and model variety is attracting more and more buyers. But at the same time, from a huge choice, it is sometimes difficult to settle for a quality option. Therefore, the choice of this element of clothing should be taken seriously, because the health of your child depends on the selected shoes.
