Demar snowboards: description, models, tips for choosing
Each parent makes sure that his child is not exposed to weather conditions during the cold season, in other words, so that the child does not freeze, get wet and does not blow out. If you can protect your body with a thick jacket and your head with a hat, your feet need good quality shoes. What to do if ordinary shoes do not protect the baby from dampness, and rubber boots freeze in the cold?
Everything is very simple. There are snowboards especially for changeable weather conditions. This shoe represents ordinary inflated or felt boots with a kind of galoshes made of special non-freezing rubber. They not only protect the child well from all kinds of winter weather adversities, but also do not weigh down the leg and do not interfere with movement. The harsh Russian winters are exactly what Demar brand snowboards are perfect for. And thanks to the diverse lineup of the company everyone can find a model to their liking among its assortment.
Peculiarities
Demar is a Polish company that has been pleasing its customers with high-quality and attractive footwear for 25 years. In addition to snowboots, they also offer a variety of rubber boots, which are already well-known among Russian consumers for their bright colors.
Snowboots have not yet achieved this popularity. So what is it and what is their advantage over ordinary boots? The fact is that the outsole of snowboots is much thicker and more voluminous compared to our usual shoes. This makes them as useful as possible during the transition of the seasons from autumn to winter and from winter to spring. They are literally created so that you can save yourself and your child from a slushy winter or frosty late autumn.
In such shoes it is comfortable at temperatures ranging from +5 to -30 degrees.
At first glance, snowboots are similar to the usual kids' dutik that were quite popular a few years ago. However, the shoes of that time could not boast of a grooved sole with deep protectors, which not only prevent the foot from getting wet, but also protect it from slipping. This is extremely important for children's models, because little tomboys do nothing but run and jump wherever they want. And, of course, you cannot do without a dense inner insulation that retains heat inside the boot and does not let cold air into it.
Typical snowboots are made up of three layers of material:
natural fur is most often used for interior decoration;
insulation that does not allow feet to freeze;
Wind and moisture resistant outer fabric.
Popular models
Demar shoes combine many qualities that are useful in the harsh winter in our latitudes.
The rubber rim prevents your feet from getting wet, even if the snow melts on the boots or moisture gets on them. Thanks to this, such shoes serve for a long time.
It is easy and pleasant to wear snowboats, the child will not feel constrained or uncomfortable in them. Even in severe frosts, natural sheep wool retains heat perfectly.
If you take a thick felt insole out of your boot, you will notice that there are empty cubes in the sole. This air gap prevents the cold from the ground from rising to the inside of the boot.
Snow storm
This model is very easy to visually distinguish from others thanks to the dense Velcro fasteners. They are easily adjusted to the width of the child's leg, so the boot does not dangle on it. For the upper inserts, nubuck is used - this is a natural waterproof material. Inside the boots there is natural sheep wool. The boot shaft is designed for a wide range of children's feet thickness, so it can be adjusted.
In practice, Snow Storm performs very well.
This model has earned a lot of positive reviews from mothers of babies running along the winter streets in them. The convenience of fasteners is especially noted, because when a child just started going to kindergarten, hardly anyone will tie his laces there.
And fastening the Velcro does not take much time and any child can handle them.
Joy
This model may not suit everyone, but only children with a low rise and leg size up to 25. This model is fixed with laces.
Now there are only two color options on the market - white and khaki.
Special large rings are sewn on the sides of the boot so that you can easily and quickly insert a lace into them and lace up the boot. In addition, it is much easier to tighten the lace on such rings.
Nordic
One of the most beloved models. Due to its limited range of colors - only red and blue - this option is more suitable for a boy. But a wide range of sizes is provided from 25 (17 cm on the insole) to 35 (22.5 cm) sizes. The bootlegs are made of a special textile material that is resistant to moisture. And the flexible rubber sole does not cause discomfort and protects from slush and stuck snow. There is a snake as a fastener in the front of the boot.
Inside the Nordic model there is a dense removable stocking made of two layers of a special material and an aluminum foil insert.
These boots are designed for temperatures up to -35 degrees. Without a stocking, they can be used as demi-season shoes. They will not get your feet wet, but without a stocking it will not be hot in them either.
Such shoes do not care about cold, or slush, or puddles.
Snow man
This model can rightfully be called the most recognizable and popular among children. A wide variety of color options and a comfortable wide elastic band on the instep are its distinctive features. The top of the boots can be fixed with a special lace with a clip.
However, negative reviews about this model continually surface on the network.
For toddlers who are just starting to walk, Snow Man is a great solution, but parents of older children should refuse to buy them.
During active games, the wide Velcro often interferes and hinders movement.
Toby
This model of snowboots has only two colors - pink and blue, for girls and boys. The material from which the outer side of the boot is made does not allow moisture to pass through and is resistant to dirt. On the rise - a wide elastic band that fixes the boot exactly on the leg. The inner sheepskin layer is tucked up on top.
Criterias of choice
Beautiful and comfortable children's shoes quickly won the hearts of children and their parents. The parents especially appreciated the fact that Demar shoes are double-sized. There is always a little space inside the boot, which allows you not to worry about the fact that the shoes will be small by the spring.
To choose the right size for a child, you need to measure the length of his foot. Ask your child to put on socks and stand on a piece of paper. Trace his leg with a pencil along the contour, while making sure that the line does not peek out from under the foot, but also does not climb under it. Then draw two parallel lines for the highest points (heel and big toe). Measure the distance between them. This will be the length of the foot. Add another 1.5 centimeters to this figure and determine the size of your feet using the dimensional grid.
Review overview
Snowboards are popular with moms because of their ease of maintenance. It is enough to rinse them with water or wipe them with a damp cloth for the shoes to return to their original appearance. Parents of older children note that shoes from the Demar company are perfectly preserved even after a whole season of use. Thanks to this, you can wear them for the next year.
Children are pleased with a wide variety of colors and patterns. Each baby can look stylish and unique even in cold winter weather.
Also, many buyers say high quality natural wool lining.
Children feel comfortable in such shoes even at -20 degrees.
In addition, many customers note a decent price / quality ratio of shoes.
However, some users complain about the thickness of the sole of the shoe, as well as the difficulty of shoeing some models with removable overshoes.
