How to choose the right winter shoes?
Amazing numbers - 98% of all children are born with healthy legs. At the same time, two thirds of adults suffer from various deformities of the toes or the entire foot. The main reason is too small or too large a shoe size worn in childhood. Orthopedists warn: diseases of the spine, joints, neuralgia, and cardiovascular dystonia arise from wearing the wrong shoes. With the current selection, it is quite easy to choose good shoes for any budget. Many people ask why buy boots for a child for 2-3 thousand for one season. The fact is that cheap shoes are rarely made according to all the rules for making good shoes for children. It is very important how the load on the muscles is distributed when walking. The development of the organism as a whole depends on this. Legs are an important part of the body and should not be skimped on. Fortunately, domestic manufacturers also have something to brag about - a little more, a little more, and our shoes will be in no way inferior to overseas “things”.
THREE IMPORTANT FACTORS: length and fullness of the foot, arch
Length. Place your child's foot on a piece of paper and carefully trace it. Measure the length of your foot with a centimeter: from the bottom to the protruding part of the sock. Take this drawing with you to the store and give it to the consultant, even if the child is with you.
Completeness. Many companies produce shoes in three sizes: wide, medium and narrow. If your child has narrow feet, do not buy shoes with wide toes; remember that the load on the muscles is not distributed correctly. This is very important: the foot should not dangle inside the boot.
Climbing or lifting. The instep is the upper part of the foot that transitions to the lower leg. When the transition (at the front) is smooth, the slope is a high rise. It is not so easy to try on shoes with a high instep if the boots have too narrow a transition between the foot and the lower leg. Interesting fact: there are now a lot of Italian and Turkish shoes on sale, designed for narrow feet.
!!! The structural features of a Russian person's feet are completely different - wide and short feet, high instep, so shoes made in Germany and Finland, which have won the hearts of citizens in recent years, are more suitable for us. According to mothers who buy children's shoes, high-rise shoes are produced by the following companies: Kotofey, Kuoma, Superfit , and Norwegian Vikings . Narrow shoes: Ecco, Ricosta, Antelope , Vietnamese Vikings .
Criterias of choice
CHILDREN UNDER ONE YEAR OF ONE YEAR
Strong advice from experts: if a child is just starting to walk in winter, do not buy shoes “for walking” before the start of the season. Don't give in to the general seasonal panic: the choice of shoes in December and January will be better than in the fall, and you will also save on sales. It is impossible for a child of 6-7 months to try on winter boots properly, the leg muscles are not yet strong enough, the leg will “crumple”, and not a single boot will fit, except the wrong one (oversized). Buy fur booties for the first time - and felt boots (two sizes larger than at the time of purchase) for November-December. When the child walks confidently, then the time will come for “adult” boots. You still can’t guess the size; a child’s foot can grow three sizes from seven months to one year. For walking in a stroller, the ideal shoes would be felt boots - ordinary felt boots from the market. Has the child gone? The best shoes are leather boots with natural fur. If your budget allows, buy textile shoes with a membrane with a fur lining, but this is a completely unnecessary purchase for up to a year and a half. The child does not yet run around on walks continuously for 2 hours; he does not need the membrane. The first boots must have a small heel. This helps the foot develop properly and also shapes the gait. Fastener: zipper or Velcro.
CHILDREN AFTER A YEAR
TRYING ON: It’s best to try on shoes in the evening. Even a child's legs swell a little in the evening. Shoes can only be tried on while standing! In this position the foot is larger.
SIZE. The optimal one is when there is 1-1.5 cm (an adult’s finger) between the toe of the shoe and the child’s fingers. Empty space creates a warming effect, but if it is too large, the effect will be the opposite. When walking, the foot should move, it slides inside the boot - this is normal, that’s what the reserve is for. Shoes that fit tightly limit slipping, the toes are compressed, and blood circulation is impaired. The foot in the boot should be well fixed and not dangle. How many pairs of shoes does a child need? It is advisable to have more than one pair, and not at all because of lordly manners. Shoes have the right to rest; they must dry and straighten out. You can buy two pairs of shoes for “colder” and “warmer” occasions - for example, for trips in the car/shopping and walking. Many mothers buy felt boots for their own peace of mind.
The winter season begins on November 1 and ends on April 1. Therefore, if you purchased shoes, say, on January 1, the shoe warranty extends until the end of this winter season and covers the period of the future winter season until January 1.
UPPER MATERIAL
Leather, textiles
These materials are breathable and meet hygienic requirements. In addition, leather and textiles easily “sit” to the shape of a child’s foot. Remember that textiles will not stretch when worn, so you should not buy them in advance. Leather shoes will stretch a little in length. Cheap leatherette shoes are almost never used in the production of well-known domestic or foreign children's shoes and crack in the cold. How to spot faux leather: It's cooler to the touch and doesn't get hot when you place your palm on it. Also try looking for a loose piece of leather near the lock. If you can remove a thread from such a cut, then you have shoes made of artificial materials in your hands. The lock on the shoe should be covered from the inside with fur, not leather, otherwise the foot will freeze.
Care: dry at room temperature, not on a radiator. To make wet shoes dry faster, you need to wipe them outside and inside and stuff them with newsprint. Lubricate dry shoes with cream, especially carefully along the junction of the leather with the sole (where cracks most often occur). Keep in mind that without special treatment, any leather shoes will get wet in rainy weather!
Nubuck
The so-called disheveled leather has a slight hairiness effect. Nubuck is similar to velvet. The shoes are beautiful, but in our reality they are completely impractical. In nubuck boots you can beautifully ride in the car or walk around the shopping center. There is nothing to do on the Yekaterinburg street, decorated with slushy mud from the roads, salts and reagents. Unless you walk in exceptionally fresh and clean snow. Only extreme parents buy nubuck boots for children: these shoes require careful care and cannot withstand moisture.
Care: nubuck and suede are afraid of water, so they are usually cleaned with a special brush. Heavy stains can be removed with soapy water and ammonia. After cleaning, it is necessary to apply a water-repellent agent.
OUTSOLE, INSOLE
The sole of the boot or shoe should bend easily, this provides the effect of walking barefoot, and shoes with soft soles slip less. Bend the upper part away from the sole and check that the seam remains straight and that the glue is not coming off. Sometimes the sole is securely welded to the shoe. It is desirable that it be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or thermoplastic elastomer (TEP). These materials are non-slip. Also, the soles are made of polyurethane, it is light and flexible, but colder and more slippery. The insole is only fur. Any mother will be happy if in the store she managed to pull the insole out of a boot in order to measure the shoes in the absence of the child - or apply the insole to the foot of a fidget. You can be happy, but you can’t buy such shoes. The insole in winter shoes must be securely sewn (glued). In the manufacture of insoles, manufacturers use a variety of systems that reduce the load on the foot - for example, air-cushioned insoles.
On the sole or inside the boot in shoes of decent brands there are markings: three patterns of the shoe (upper, sole and lining) and three symbols next to them. The skin symbol means leather, the diamond symbol means synthetics, and the mesh symbol means other materials.
INSULATION
Fur
The fur should be natural so that the foot can breathe and not freeze: tsigeyka, mouton. All these are special methods of processing sheepskin fur. Synthetic fur is quite rare these days; it is distinguished by a characteristic shine; artificial fur is also shiny, natural fur is dull. How to determine: Unfasten the clasp and push the fur apart with your fingers - it should be on the skin, not on the fabric.
Care: Never place shoes on a radiator or heater, otherwise the leather will lose all its properties. Shoes with fur dry properly only at room temperature.
Membrane
A thin fluoroplastic film that allows moisture to pass through in only one direction—outward. It has a huge number of holes per unit area. These holes are very small in size, so water molecules in the form of steam pass through them, but drops (due to the fact that they are many times larger than molecules) do not pass through. Types of membrane materials: gore-tex, sympathex, ricotex, etc., they all have a different structure (for example, sympathex is a membrane without pores, moisture is carried through special chemical bonds) and work on the same principle. The membrane will work in any case, but it is better to help it - put tights or socks containing a certain percentage of synthetics (“stretchy”), or special thermal socks on the child’s legs. Shoes with a membrane are designed for temperatures down to -10; at lower temperatures they freeze. For cold winters there is a membrane + sheep wool option; it can withstand temperatures down to -30.
Care: do not dry on a radiator or heater, the membrane is destroyed. It is recommended to treat shoes with special water-repellent agents.
Gore-Tex membrane: Superfit (Austria), ECCO (Denmark), RICOSTA (Germany), Elefanten (Germany), Viking (Norway).
Sympatex membrane: Scandia (Italy). Antelope uses its own membrane, a-tech, and uses SPIRA-TEX (Italy) and KING-TEX (Taiwan) membranes.
Thinsulate
At the moment - one of the best synthetic insulation: lightweight, waterproof, durable. In terms of heat-protective properties, boots with Thinsulate can be placed on a par with boots lined with natural fur. Temperature: up to -30. Thinsulate boots are recommended both for active walks and for passive time spent outside, that is, a child lying in a stroller will not freeze either.
Thinsulate shoes are produced by Merrell , Mursu (Finnish), Kamik, I-GLA (Norwegian).

The dreamer's actions
Buying socks portends the successful achievement of what you want. The dreamer is firmly confident in his abilities and strives for perfection in everything.

Tsvetkov's Dream Interpretation
For an esotericist, the image has several different meanings. It may be associated with an upcoming trip or with changes in your personal life. If you dream that you are putting on a pair, then you can count on an improvement in your financial condition. If a woman dreams of buying a product, then this indicates her dissatisfaction. Her personal life is not going very well, which is something she would like to change.
If you put on a pair with holes, don’t count on luck being on your side. You will most likely be disappointed. Different colors of socks indicate acquaintance with dubious people.
What do you want?
Unlucky enough to change your socks in a dream? In reality, prepare for a serious family quarrel, including divorce. If you happen to change your socks, then in reality you will try to evade unexpected problems.
The dream book is also sure that changing stockings at night is a sign of renewal in reality. It’s even better if you decide to change out your holey knee socks and put on some nice shoes. This is a sign that your financial situation will soon improve significantly.
Why do you dream about white socks? dream interpretation
If you dreamed of white socks, many dream books interpret the vision as a quick and pleasant trip that will give you a lot of positive emotions and new acquaintances. But it is worth remembering that this interpretation is relevant if the socks are clean and white, not darned, otherwise the dream promises losses, problems, and illness.
Often, white socks on the feet symbolize the dreamer’s state of health and, if they are dirty and have holes, this represents emptiness, poverty and many ailments, even death. Somewhat less often, such a piece of clothing indicates the innocence and purity of the dreamer’s thoughts. But on the other hand, the dream warns that you should not be too trusting and kind, because envious and selfish people can take advantage of this.
