Boots Nordman
It so happened that in our country nine out of twelve months are damp, rainy or frosty.
Therefore, the choice of suitable seasonal footwear for the whole family for many turns into an important and urgent matter. Shoes "Nordman", produced in Russia, are the best suited for climatic conditions and the vagaries of domestic weather. It began to be produced in Pskov in 2000, and fishermen and hunters were the first to appreciate the advantages of these shoe pairs. It was for these categories of Russians that the company produced the first series of safety footwear. In 2005, a line of children's and women's shoes appeared. Since 2013, footwear has been produced under the Nordman brand.
Features and Benefits
- Protection. The main task of all Nordman models is to protect human feet from dampness and cold. Rubber boots, felt boots and "quilts" are produced using exclusive technologies from durable and high-quality materials. Each new model is tested in several stages: first, the company's specialists, and then the first "test" buyers in natural weather conditions. A model is launched into mass production only if they are absolutely sure of its protective properties.
- Convenience. "Nordman" are comfortable and any model of men's, women's or children's collections meets all modern ideas about the right seasonal footwear.
- Design. Manufacturers are creative in creating pairs of shoes. Color solutions, experiments with the sole are varied and sometimes unusual. The appearance of the Nordman boots is easily recognizable.
- Durability. Due to the materials used (EVA and TPE), the boots will not be demolished. They will last more than one season. Moreover, such shoes do not require any special and costly care.

Material and color
"Nordman" boots are made of an unusual material - ethylene vinyl acetate, or as it is also called EVA. This material does not pass cold, has an extremely low ability to conduct heat. Thus, the body's own heat, generated by the human skin, remains inside.The material is lightweight, porous, so products made of it are not bulky, and it is easy to travel in them even over long distances. Paradoxically, boots for an adult sometimes weigh a little more than house slippers!
A number of Nordman models are manufactured from TPE-thermoplastic elastomer. It is a frost-resistant thermowell. It's heavier than EVA, but overall the shoe is pretty light too.
For all models where there is a fabric, it is 100% waterproof.
Warmed models are equipped with fleece or fur stockings - liners. These "stockings" are both removable and non-removable. The naturalness of the fur is out of the question, since Nordman footwear is still budgetary. But a competent combination of artificial fur with a considerable share (up to 50% in extreme models) of wool (felt) makes the earbuds warm and comfortable.
Rubber boots are mainly made of PVC.
The soles are seamless, elastic, waterproof. Some models of the men's collection are equipped with a deep protector and even spikes.
The color range of Nordman boots is quite extensive, especially for women's and children's collections. In addition to the classic black, gray and brown, you can choose reliable weatherproof boots in pink and light blue, blue and bright yellow. The designers of the company traditionally change color solutions every season.
How to choose?
Choosing boots "Nordman", you need to honestly answer yourself a few questions: where will you need to wear them, to whom and in what weather? Proceeding from expediency, you can safely stop your choice on one or another model.
- When it comes to buying shoes for a child, his age must be taken into account. Less mobile toddlers who take strollers can wear models with a thinner layer of insulation. Active guys who also love to run through puddles need effective protection from moisture. They can use "Nordman Kids" or a similar but cheaper model - "Nordman Sun". In addition, it is worth taking a closer look at the individual characteristics of the child's thermoregulation. Some have always warm feet and hands, while others are icy even in summer. In general, it is better not to wear snobuts if the thermometers have dropped below 10-15 degrees of frost, even if the child is active. For their EVA boots, the "extreme threshold" is higher - for mobile fidgets, it is minus 20 - minus 25 degrees below zero.
- If "Nordman" boots are purchased for hunting, fishing and outdoor activities, it is worth focusing on practical, specialized models. Classic and Active will preserve your health in nature.
- For everyday wear in urban conditions - almost all models of the women's collection and the model range for children are suitable.
For those who take the Nordman in their hands for the first time, it may be a little difficult to determine the correct size. The fact is that EVA and TPE shoes have a variable size. On the sole, they always write double values 25/26 or 29/30. How to know which size you are buying? The secret is in the peculiarities of production. EVA boots are cast at a very high temperature, and when they cool down and take the desired shape, size discrepancy is normal. Experts advise buying such shoes, as they say, "with a margin" - one size larger than necessary.
A double size means two sizes at once. Larger indicates shoe size, smaller indicates warm liner size.
For the little ones, it is better to buy boots and snobuts with non-removable insulation - it will be easier for the baby to change shoes on his own. For older children and adults, it can be fundamentally important that the insulation stocking can be easily removed and dried. Another detail: the fleece liner is slightly "colder" than the fur one. Consider the climate in your area.
When choosing their EVA shoes, it is important not to miscalculate the height of the rise. To a greater extent, this applies to children's models. In the Nordman collections there are pairs designed for the owners of legs with both high and low rises.
These boots are a real find for lazy owners, because the shoes do not require careful maintenance. It is enough to learn simple rules.These vapors must not be dried on a hot radiator or near an open fire (for example, by a fire). EVA material successfully copes with severe frosts, but is afraid of high external temperatures. During storage, make sure that the pair of shoes is not exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.
EVA boots are easy to wash, wipe clean, do not lose color saturation.
Reviews
Reviews of the boots "Nordman" are mostly positive. Mothers who bought such shoe pairs for their children are especially pleased. And in the conditions of rather mild winters of Central Russia, and in the harsh Ural frosts, these boots, felt boots and snobuts have proven themselves perfectly. The only thing that parents warn about is not to put on extra socks on the child, unless, of course, it is not minus 35 on the street. Because the baby's legs begin to sweat. But no one complains about freezing. Residents of regions with an unstable climate prefer to buy several models of Nordman boots at once - one for cold weather, others for a thaw.
Dozens of forums for anglers, hunters and extreme travelers are devoted to reviews of the men's collection "Nordman". The boots, according to their owners, fulfill their purpose perfectly. Everyone, without exception, notes the affordable prices for Pskov-made products (from 800 to 2500-3000 thousand rubles).
Women who wear Nordman boots assure that the shoes are solid and warm. But they want to see a wider selection of models and colors. And they also want to buy "Nordman" in a more elegant design. Manufacturers study and analyze all reviews of their products. Rational and creative proposals promise to come true in the coming seasons.
"Nordman" gives freedom of choice from childhood, because a person has the right to decide for himself where to go - to conquer the snowy plains or wade to the nearest island. In the right footwear that helps and protects, you can safely walk in the park or rush with friends on a wild boar. Where to go - people decide. "Nordman" simply guarantees them a comfortable hike and a successful finish.
