Waterproof sneakers

The main feature of waterproof sneakers is the material from which they are made. The upper of the sneakers is a synthetic multilayer material, leather, raincoat fabric or membrane covering. Winter options are lined with fur.

The sole for such shoes is made of polyvinyl chloride materials that are resistant to low temperatures. Also, the outsole has a high tread for stability and heat retention.

The fashionable technology used by the manufacturers is Core-Tex: such shoes do not allow moisture to pass inside, bring sweat out, which means that the legs of the owner of such a pair will be warm and dry.

Waterproof sneakers can be for different seasons and purposes:

• Autumn-spring models - have a light insulation, the sole can be either high or low. These sneakers are heavier than summer models. Made from both leather and its substitutes and synthetic materials.

• Winter - overpriced models with fur and high relief protectors. The material for these sneakers is leather or raincoat fabric.
• For running - made of water-repellent materials. The outsole is straight and light, making your jogging easy and effortless.

When choosing waterproof sneakers, the following aspects should be taken into account:

• water resistance - sneakers must protect from dampness. The choice of material depends on the function of your shoe. A membrane covering, raincoat fabric is well suited for running. For walking - breathable leather.

• sole. Pay attention to rigidity and tread. The softer and better the sole bends, the less the risk of slipping. For the winter version, an anti-slip coating is ideal. Next, we look at the relief of the platform. If you buy shoes for active pastime and training, the more prominent the sole, the more comfortable running will be.Do not forget about the presence of an instep support for proper load distribution. Many manufacturers resort to such an addition as anti-slip rubber spikes. They can be straight on the sole or removable.

• ventilation. Shoes should not only be waterproof, but also breathable. If your shoes are made of only synthetic materials, then a "greenhouse effect" is formed. There is no need to talk about waterproofing, because the leg will be wet and uncomfortable anyway, which leads to various diseases.
• insulation. An essential ingredient for winter sneakers.

Another feature that can come in handy is the presence of reflective elements. In the dark and twilight, this feature will allow you to remain visible, which means it is plus one for your safety.

Shoes should fit comfortably on your feet. To get the right size, choose your shoes in the afternoon when your feet are a little swollen. Do not forget that winter shoes are worn with thicker toes, so do not get carried away with the "back to back" options.

Naturally, high-quality shoes should look appropriate - without excess glue, scratches, protruding threads and other troubles of a manufacturing defect.

1. In order for the shoes to serve you for a long time and not lose their qualities, they must be well dried after each run.
2. Use foot deodorant to prevent smelly odors from your shoes. Frequently wash insoles and ventilate your shoes.
3. Ideal when you have a pair of replacement shoes. For those who are economical - this pair may not be as expensive and of high quality, but it should still protect the feet from moisture.
