Usually, everyone’s sneakers are associated with warm days: summer, early autumn, or the height of spring. Therefore, the phrase “winter sneakers” still somehow sounds unusual. In fact, what can warm them? However, modern models make it possible to flaunt in your favorite shoes, even in snowdrifts.
Most well-known brands that specialize in the production of sports shoes, necessarily produce a line for the cold season. Indeed, why give up the usual comfort just because snow fell outside the window!
What is the difference between winter sneakers and ordinary? The first is an insulated lining. As such, fur can be both natural and synthetic (the first is still better), wool, neoprene (this is such a new heat-saving material). Manufacturers do not forget about the tongue, it is also equipped with a stitch. The second is a special insole. She is also insulated. In general, high-quality models are quite capable of surviving the frost at minus 20 degrees Celsius. And so that the feet do not become wet from the melting snow, manufacturers impregnate the outer surface of the shoes with special water-repellent compounds.
Criterias of choice
Another important point that requires your attention when you choose your sneakers - winter soles should have sufficient thickness and corrugation. Otherwise, you will start to freeze and glide on the ice, constantly risking making bruises or (even worse) fractures.
It is also better to buy tall models, they protect against snow from entering the shoes. But whether they will be laced, Velcro or zippers does not matter. Here you are guided only by your own preferences.
Despite the fact that such shoes belong to the unisex category, winter men's sneakers outwardly look more restrained. And besides, they have design features that take into account the specific structure of the male foot. Choose usual jeans, down jackets, jumpers, sweatshirts as companions for this shoe - it’s warm and comfortable. Although modern fashion allows for very original combinations. With some courage, you can try on your favorite sneakers with draped cropped coats, velveteen or tweed jackets.
Female models, as always, are brighter and more elegant. Here, a wide variety of drawings, colors and decorative elements are used (for example, incredibly popular gold and silver spikes or rivets). All of the above is fully illustrated by the now fashionable winter
wedge sneakers. Sneakers (their second name) gained unprecedented popularity among beautiful ladies. The fact is that these sports shoes look pretty good with dresses and skirts. And skinny jeans or thick warm leggings seem to be specially created for them. Stylists offer a lot of interesting and original ideas for a winter wardrobe. You will definitely not be bored when choosing.
But no matter what shoes you like, winter models are still not designed to lower temperatures below 25 or 30 degrees. Therefore, in especially severe frosts, protect your health.
