Children’s shoes, how to choose, where to buy

It seems that autumn in St. Petersburg has finally come into its own. Comfortable plus 10-15 changed to slightly above zero, cold winds blew out, and the sky is generously divided by rains. Choosing shoes for the autumn-winter period for your child turns into a real quest for every mother.

What shoes to choose so that the baby is not only comfortable in it, but also warm and dry? We deal with the manufacturer of children’s shoes “Kotofey”.

— Heat exchange… Each kid is different. And if one child in shoes of a specific model will feel comfortable even at minus 10, then another, wearing shoes or boots of the same model, may freeze to plus 2 degrees. That is why, in the same weather, different children are shod in different ways.

— Activity… Everything is simple here. If the conventional Helen is only a year old and she spends most of the walk in a wheelchair, she will need warmer shoes. But for the hyperactive Seryozha, who manages to slide down the hill three times, while his peers only once, shoes made of more breathable materials are suitable.

— Shoe size. Children’s shoes should be slightly larger than the foot… Ideally, there should be a distance of 1-1,5 cm between the heel and the back of the shoe. But in tight shoes, the child’s legs can quickly freeze.

— Insulate correctly… Felt boots with fur, two pairs of socks over warm tights – for a walk at minus 5 degrees, you see, this is too much. The legs of a child in such a “package” will first sweat and then freeze.

Perfect in this weather rubber boots… In rainy autumn, it is better to choose models with an inner boot. It additionally warms the legs. Moreover, it can be easily removed for drying.

When there are no longer puddles under your feet, but a real snow porridge, and the thermometer tends to zero, ideal option will snowboards… The lower part of these boots is made of high-tech EVA material: it does not allow water to pass through and remains elastic in cold weather. And inside the snowboats are insulated with sheep wool.

The hot summer in our region threatens to turn into a real Russian winter with all the ensuing consequences. However, the temperature drop, which is standard for St. Petersburg, is unlikely to be avoided. So in winter you need several pairs of shoes at once.

— Winter boots with fur… A universal option. Thanks to natural materials – leather and fur – a healthy microclimate is created inside such shoes. The sole of winter boots is non-slippreventing falls.

— Felt boots… When it’s “frost and sun” outside, you can’t find the best shoes. Felt upper provides excellent warmth, absorbs excess moisture inside. And the anatomical sole equipped with a deep protector makes this type of shoe comfortable for walking on the snow.

— Membrane shoes… Perfect fit for active kids… The membrane lining retains the heat generated by active walking. It also prevents moisture from entering the outside. In such boots, the child will not freeze in mild frost and will not get wet in the slush.
