About snowboots

This type of children's shoes are great for wearing in a humid environment, whether it's late autumn, winter with sleet or early spring. Among their useful characteristics: the ability to withstand snow slurry, cold puddles, thereby protecting children's feet from moisture and keeping warm.

Snowboots structure

1. The shoe is the bottom part of the shoe.It is usually made of high-tech rubber that does not crack or stiffen in the cold and is flexible.
2. Shaft - this part is made of textile material, among the properties of which are water repellency and breathability. A membrane coating is often used to improve the shoe's resistance to wet environments.
3. Filling - it is this part of the structure that is responsible for heat. The insole in such models most often has three layers: the first one removes cold, the second one regulates humidity, the third one, adjacent to the foot, warms. The inner layer of the shaft is usually made of natural six, which also does not allow the legs to freeze.

The average temperature regime at which snow boots can be worn is from 0 to -20 degrees, although some manufacturers declare comfort even at lower temperatures, up to -30 degrees.

Benefits of snowboots

• Non-slip outsole, grooved guarantees excellent grip even on ice-covered areas;
• The use of additional fasteners to improve the fit on the leg of each child, these can be Velcro, lacing, snakes with tightening;
• Easy to clean: the most soiled part of the shoe is made of rubber, which is simply washed under running water or cleaned with a damp sponge / cloth;
• Such shoes can be dried near heating appliances, they will not be deformed or covered with stains;
• Snowbutts are often versatile, sitting well on legs with both low and high insteps.

Flaws

• Most models do not have a very hard heel, which will not allow you to choose shoes with a margin, as it will threaten the deformation of the child's foot. The disadvantage is leveled by strict selection by size.
• With a low height of galoshes, shoes are not suitable for use in deep puddles.The membrane above the head will quickly get wet and moisture will penetrate inside.

Selection Tips

The main advice concerns where to buy snowboots. Most often, the choice is made via the Internet, but it is important to remember that you need to buy shoes only after trying on a child. Since a mismatch in size can distort the children's foot, and not a sufficient level of sole flexibility will make wearing such shoes uncomfortable.

It is also worth assessing the climate and temperature regime in which it is planned to wear snowboots. So in regions with frosty winters, it is worth giving preference to models that are more resistant to cold. And frequent snow porridge or the presence of puddles requires you to choose shoes with a greater height of galoshes.
