Fashionable rubber boots
Features and Benefits
Rubber shoes as everyday shoes have been in demand for many years. If once a few years ago such boots were worn only by children to run through puddles, or grandparents to work in the garden, now the situation has changed. This shoe is at the peak of its popularity. Fashionable rubber boots are worn to work or school, they can even be seen on the catwalks and in glossy magazines.
Why have they become so fashionable? They have a number of advantages:
- in wet weather, this is the best option for protection against moisture - no other material compares to rubber;
- such shoes are unpretentious in care, they can be cleaned in a couple of minutes;
- rubber is a durable material;
- modern technologies make it possible to make shoes with a wide variety of colors, patterns, logos.
To these advantages, it is worth adding the availability of such footwear items. - rubber is much cheaper than suede, textiles, and even more so natural leather. These boots also have a significant drawback - the material does not allow the skin to breathe.
Model rubber boots are most often used in the demi-season, when there are no severe frosts, and precipitation and puddles appear frequently.
Varieties of models
Women's rubber boots can be chosen in various designs for almost any purpose.This is not only a classic version with a high top and a rounded toe, but also many other designs.
Models with heels will practically not differ in shape from classic leather boots. But they have much more options for execution - from strict dark colors to bright color prints.
Boots with high soles made of polyurethane or foam rubber provide additional protection against puddles and slush. And the relief basis serves as the increased coupling with a surface and will not allow to slip.
There are options for women's rubber boots with insulation on fur, natural fabrics or synthetics. But it should be borne in mind that rubber itself does not serve as a good insulation, so in severe frosts such shoes will not effectively retain heat. In general, these boots are not recommended to be worn for more than 3 hours in a row, as they do not let air through to the skin.
There are shortened ankle models that do not cover the shin, there are options with zippers or lacing. Separately, you can consider boots, in which the base to the ankle is made of rubber, and the lower leg is made of suede or artificial leather.
materials
Not all modern models are produced from natural or synthetic rubber. This material itself, despite all the advantages, is quite heavy, which reduces the comfort of shoes when worn. And the absence of pores blocks access to the skin of oxygen. Therefore, today other more efficient materials are used, and boots are traditionally called rubber boots. Among them is polyurethane foam, which is much lighter than rubber. Thanks to him, it is possible to produce shoes without seams, therefore, it will be stronger and more durable.
In addition to rubber and polyurethane, some other materials are also used.For example, the lower leg can be made of leather or suede.
Maintenance and care
Both rubber and polyurethane are unpretentious in leaving. Therefore, shoes made of them are less demanding on their content than leather, suede or textile. But, nevertheless, rubber boots must be wiped off dirt and dried after each use. If they have an insulated lining, then it is also necessary to monitor its dryness in order to avoid debate and the formation of fungus.
