Warm shoes should be comfortable, stable, light and beautiful. Finding a universal option that meets all the requirements is not so simple.
Puffy boots are almost weightless, they are extremely comfortable, warm and fashionable, their legs do not get tired during the day. The prototype of modern boots of this type appeared in the 80s of the last century. Then, not only shoes were blown, but also many elements of clothing. Today, the fashion for Dutik boots is back. Of course, in appearance they differ significantly from those worn 30 years ago. They ceased to be "marching", and became very pretty and suitable for urban walks.
What is the difference between such boots from all other varieties of autumn and winter shoes? There are a lot of differences. Blown women's boots are usually sewn from a material that does not allow moisture to pass through, so they do not get wet and also do not deform during socks, washing and drying.
The upper part is in most cases made of synthetic material, sometimes made of suede or fabric. Between the layers of fabric insulation can be placed (wool, down, synthetic winterizer or other special materials). Blown boots have a rather massive, thick sole, so they are warm even at very low winter temperatures, which are characteristic of our latitudes.
The "signature" element is Velcro. This is very convenient because it allows you to adjust the width of the shaft. A big plus of such boots is that, thanks to such fasteners, there are much more chances to choose shoes by the foot than, say, choosing narrow classic boots that should be tight-fitting. There are also laced models, which is no less convenient, and also quite stylish.
Men's inflated boots are, unlike women's boots, more practical shoes than fashionable, ideal for practicing winter sports. Due to their lightness, flexibility and elasticity, they are very convenient and comfortable. The corrugated sole makes them stable on a slippery surface (on ice, snow).
As for the negative sides of this shoe, it should be said that they are. If you buy blown boots made of artificial materials, you need to be prepared for the fact that in severe frosts their surface can crack. Another relative drawback of such shoes is its stylistic coloring exclusively in sports and street colors. That is, it is unacceptable to combine such boots with classic clothes, evening dresses or office suits. They will look good only if they select all the elements of clothing competently. Jeans, leggings, jackets made of synthetic materials (you can also blown ones), warm sleeveless jackets are perfect.
You need to choose puffy boots based on the climate in your area and the intended use of such shoes. If you live in latitudes where winters are severe, it is better to buy boots made of textile materials. Shoes made of waterproof material are suitable for wearing in conditions of high humidity.
In such boots for insulation, foamed elements are used that warm better than fur and leather, creating an air gap due to which the cold does not go inside and the heat does not go outside. In them you can walk on foot for at least a whole day without feeling tired. They are convenient for driving a car.
Unlike the colors of leather shoes, blown boots delight us with an incredibly wide range of colors that practically does not limit imagination - peach, bronze, purple, silver, milk, metal - and fill cloudy days with positive. Some materials give a special brilliance. Decorative stitching on the material can be different: it can be horizontal lines, cells or rhombuses.
It is better to buy such boots in trusted serious stores. Because of their popularity, many fakes of the most famous manufacturers (Adidas, Mos, DC Shoes) are on sale, which are difficult to distinguish from high-quality originals. Poor quality will only appear during socks when it is too late.
