Autumn boots should be in the wardrobe of every lady. Such shoes will not only warm you in the cold, but also favorably emphasize your image. What demi-season boots to choose? There are four main styles of shoes in this category. These are: ankle boots, ankle boots, boots and over the knee boots. Boots are considered shoes that have an ankle height from the middle of the calf to the knee. Boots above the knee are called over the knee boots. Ankle boots are shoes with a single leg, the height of which is below the middle of the calf. Ankle boots are low shoes, most often with high heels, ankle-high or slightly higher. Which demi-season boots to choose is a matter of personal taste. The height of the shaft and heel should be in harmony with your height and body shape. If in doubt which model to choose, try different ones.
How to choose baby boots?
Children's shoes differ from the adult in many ways. It will be useful for any parent to learn to distinguish autumn boots from boots. Boots for babies do not have the adjustment of the rise and leg fullness. The presence of Velcro or lacing is a sign of shoes. The boots, on the other hand, have a solid bootleg that is up to the middle of the calf or slightly lower. Choosing baby shoes should be primarily in the light of convenience. Please note: for preschool kids, demi-season children's boots with zippers should be purchased. The thing is that it will not be easy for a small child to cope with stocking boots.
For the spring-autumn season, manufacturers of children's shoes offer membrane or leather options. What to choose: natural material or modern technology? Leather boots are durable, sit perfectly on the foot and do not get wet. Membrane shoes provide good thermoregulation and excellent hygroscopicity. It is difficult to say that one material is much better than another. The worst option is baby shoes made of leather substitute. Such material does not breathe, wears out quickly. Leatherette products are the cheapest, but also short-lived at the same time. It is extremely undesirable for children to buy such shoes.
Quality check
Suppose you went to the store and already found the demi-season boots that you like. How to understand how good the selected pair is, not being an expert? Inspect each boot carefully. Smooth seams, the absence of hanging threads - these are signs of quality. The sole should also be flat and symmetrical on both boots, it is good if it is sewn, and not just glued. And most importantly, the chosen boots should not have any unpleasant odor, if, of course, you buy natural shoes.
Secrets of proper fitting
In most people, the legs swell during the day. We advise you to go to the shoe store after lunch. In the fall, a common occurrence is frost. Therefore, it is better to buy demi-season boots with a small margin. You can try on a sock. How to try on demi-season boots? Be sure to walk in your chosen shoes. If during this mini-defile you feel uncomfortable, try measuring another size or model.
When buying children's shoes, it is also necessary to try on. Many babies cannot accurately describe their feelings in words. Shoe your baby and insert your finger near the heel. Try to carefully push your foot forward as far as possible. The boots are perfect in size if mom’s finger fits easily between the heel and the back of the shoe.
Natural and artificial materials: what to choose?
Demi-season women's boots today are made not only of leather and its substitute. Equally popular options are natural and artificial suede, as well as fabric and other synthetic materials. It is worth noting that not only the cheapest models can be unnatural. Boots made of synthetic materials can now be seen on the catwalks, where collections of many famous designers are presented. Remember the simple rule: for everyday wear, it is best to choose leather boots with solid soles or low heels. To attend celebrations or short walks, you can choose fashionable boots made of non-natural materials, made in a bright design.
