Children's boots

Buying children's shoes is a very important moment for all parents. After all, for a child, you need to choose warm, comfortable, and strong products. The most difficult task is the choice of boots, since winter shoes should not only be warm, but also not very heavy, and with the right sole so as not to harm the child.

The advantage of children's boots is their variety. Thanks to a wide range, you can choose the perfect shoes for your child.

• booties - these are shoes for babies who do not yet know how to walk, such boots come without a hard sole. This is a holistic leather or textile product with fur insulation, it perfectly protects the baby's legs from the cold;

• snow boots - these are boots that have a three-layer structure: they have polypropylene on top, a membrane under it, and inside a removable felt boot made of wool. Such shoes are considered very practical, as they protect against frost, do not get wet and are quite light;

• leather boots with natural fur insulation - such boots can be made in different model variations, they are considered not very practical. Many people think that genuine leather is a great solution for winter shoes, but it is not very suitable for children's boots. Leather shoes are heavy for a child, in addition, they get wet quickly and do not withstand severe frosts, in winter they are simply cold;

• the latest in children's fashion are considered ugg boots. They have a wide, rounded toe, a loose fit and a warm fur insole. But for all their attractiveness, they cannot be called suitable shoes for a child, because they do not have good fixation for the foot. Prolonged wearing of such shoes can lead to foot deformity;

• boots - These are low warm boots made of hard leather or leatherette. Their feature is the presence of a tongue, lacing and fur insulation.

In order to choose the right boots for your child, you need to take into account his age, features of the foot and the shoes themselves, and in order not to make a mistake, we offer some useful tips:

• first of all, for children, you need to buy boots only from natural materials, because most artificial ones do not let air through and the child’s foot sweats quickly;
• do not buy heavy shoes, it puts a strain on the spine and can ruin not only the gait, but also the posture;
• children's boots must be with an arch support, because the child's skeletal system is in the developmental stage and shoes without an arch support can lead to foot deformity;
• pay attention to the sole: it should not be thin so that it is not cold on the snow. In addition, the sole should be elastic, bend well, so that the child can move comfortably in it.After all, a very hard sole gives a load on the foot, the legs quickly get tired. Also, the sole should have good cushioning properties with a good tread so that the boots do not slip on the snow;

• to choose the right size, after the child puts on the boots, try sticking your finger inside the shoe near the heel. If the finger is in, then the size is correct. In no case should you take boots back to back, because they will disrupt blood circulation in the limbs, and the child will freeze. In addition, the child's foot grows, and in a few weeks such boots will reap;
• it is very wrong to buy winter shoes for growth, if they hang on the leg, it is difficult for the child to walk, and the instep support is almost never used, because the leg simply does not fall on it when walking;
• for high-quality children's boots, the insole is not removable;
• when buying winter models, try with your hand if there is a heater in the toe of the boot. Often unscrupulous manufacturers insulate only the bootleg;
• consider not only the length, but also the width of the foot so that the shoes do not turn out to be narrow;
• don't forget about lifting. For children who have it high, it is better to buy boots with Velcro and laces, refuse shoes without fasteners and with a zipper.

When choosing boots for a child, first of all, choose comfortable models and colors that will be in harmony with outerwear. If the boots you like are not combined with the jacket, then just pick accessories to match them.

Today, children's fashion is rich in a variety of children's models of winter shoes. The most popular are:

Such models are especially in trend today, because they always look great on the legs of a child. A feature of the high boots is fur on the outside and a warm lining with an insole inside. These shoes are considered the warmest and most stylish, but they are difficult to care for, especially if the child is active and often gets dirty. The ability to get wet is also a negative feature.

Children's luminous boots are also popular these days. They come in two types: shoes with a battery-powered luminous mechanism inserted into the silicone sole and sewn-in inserts with a phosphor effect that begin to glow in the dark. The first option is very impractical, since such boots shine until the battery runs out, and its replacement is most often not expected, because the sole is integral, which means that it is impossible to get the mechanism. Therefore, whether to buy such boots for your child is up to you.

High models of boots for children are also an ambiguous option for shoes. Although parents believe that the higher the boots, the better, in practice, such shoes are quite uncomfortable for the child, they prevent him from actively moving. High models of boots are better to buy for teenagers, but by no means for small children.

Otherwise, they are called membrane boots, they are made using the latest technology and today are considered the most fashionable and practical. The top layer of such shoes is textiles - it always looks beautiful. Inside there is a light membrane that protects from the cold, while allowing the child's leg to breathe. Inside the membrane shoes there is a fur or combined insulation. A feature of this type of winter footwear is lightness, breathable structure and frost resistance.

Thanks to modern designers and fashion designers, today there is a huge selection of different color variations of children's winter shoes. If pastel colors of boots prevail in adult fashion and blue, red and green are popular, then children's fashion is replete with a variety of colors.

The classic colors of shoes do not lose their relevance. So, white and black boots are popular, as before.

Parents often buy golden boots for their children. Many consider it vulgar and tasteless. But in reality, such options have a right to exist, you just need to take into account the fact that such shoes are completed with classic outerwear, such as sheepskin coats, coats or fur coats, but such models are not suitable for simple down jackets or puffy jackets.

Today, platform winter shoes are offered for children over eight years old, and many parents who are chasing fashion are in a hurry to buy such an accessory for their child, making a big mistake. Orthopedists categorically do not recommend platform shoes for children.After all, it negatively affects the formation of the foot and the posture of the child, in addition, it gives a strong load on the spine. Don't sacrifice your child's health for the sake of fashion.

Today, it is not easy for parents to decide on the choice of children's shoes, because if earlier shoes were sewn from leather and fur, today there are a lot of options for the material that is used when sewing. The most popular this season are the following materials for sewing boots for children:

• leather considered a classic option, its distinguishing features are reliability, strong structure, breathable surface;

• fur - it is used not only for internal insulation, but also for sewing high fur boots. As a heater, natural fur has many advantages;

• felt - natural material that perfectly protects from the cold and allows the leg to breathe;

• sheep's wool - it is used for sewing children's boots. It is also a natural and very comfortable material;

• polyvinyl chloride - This is a material that looks very similar to rubber, but much lighter. Boots made of this material are very light and durable, they do not actually get wet;

• crosslight - such a material is natural, but made in the form of a porous tissue, where each pore is filled with resin of natural origin. Shoes made of this material have no seams; they are made in the form of a one-piece boot with natural insulation;

• silicone is a light breathable material that perfectly protects against moisture and cold;

• artificial leather considered to be poorly breathable material;

• nubuck Today it is quite in demand for tailoring children's shoes. Nubuck is a polished leather, which, thanks to a special finishing method, acquires a smooth surface and softness;

• textile - it is used for sewing shoes for babies;

• polymer film (membrane) used to provide waterproofing, in children's boots it is located between the top layer and the insulation lining.

Children's fashion is not as strict as adult fashion, it allows you to combine different options for clothes and shoes. A child should always be bright, so such accessories will come in handy.

Some people think that style and fashion trends are the prerogative of adult fashion, but children's fashion has its own rules. Boots made of leatherette or piece leather can be worn under puffy jackets and down jackets. For fluffy fur coats or voluminous coats, it is better to take high boots or leather boots trimmed with fur. Silicone and crosslight boots are best worn with spring or autumn clothing: light windbreakers, raincoats.

In order not to make a mistake when choosing children's boots, be guided by your own taste, the recommendations of orthopedists and the advice of modern masters of children's fashion. Shoes are a very important and bright accessory that complements the best children's stylish looks. Buy only high-quality shoes for your children, because they are the most expensive thing that can be in our lives.
