Orthopedic
Proper formation of the foot depends on the shoe. Orthopedic shoes stand guard over the health of the feet thanks to a special insole, sole and instep. Such shoes correctly distribute the load on the knees, making posture and gait better and easier.

Dutiki
A popular and fairly budget version of winter footwear for boys is dutik. These shoes are boots or shoes made of waterproof textiles or synthetic material, insulated with fur or insulation of a new generation. As the sole manufacturers use rubber, thermoplastic elastomer or EVA.
The great advantage of dutik is their lightness. Indeed, textiles do not give the shoe weight, which is so significant for children. Another feature is the brightness of the shoes. The material perfectly accepts any patterns and prints. Most often, the fastener for the dutik is a comfortable velcro.
The disadvantage of budget dutik is their airtightness. The legs of the baby can sweat during long gatherings and freeze when going out. And it's all about artificial materials that can not evaporate moisture. The best option would be membrane quilts with natural fur.
Natural fur
Natural fur shoes have always been very popular. Manufacturers warm their shoes with sheepskin, because only this fur guarantees heat and hypoallergenic.
Glowing
It is no secret that it gets dark early in the winter. In addition to the reflectors on the clothes, you can additionally protect the child by purchasing shoes with a glowing sole. Thanks to the LEDs built into the sole, the shoes acquire a unique glow.

Colors
Children under three years old often wear what their parents bought them without thinking about colors. However, caring mothers think about color. For babies relevant blue and blue shades, gray, brown and green tones. The combination of green and yellow looks bright, however, choosing such a riot of colors, it is important to remember about its combination with winter overalls.
Older guys love to take part in choosing shoes.They should not be denied this, because this is the first step for self-expression. Notice the kid on brown shoes with white fur trimming, as well as black models, complemented by rivets and stripes. It was them who identified the major manufacturers of children's shoes as the most stylish options.
When purchasing quilted boots, look at the models with cartoon characters. Today, such shoes are represented by a huge variety of funny characters, for example, from the animated series “Cars” or Disney.
Materials
Winter boots for boys and girls are made from a variety of materials. Let's start with those experienced by many generations of children. Leather boots are a hypoallergenic and warm variant for winter, gradually waving and matching with the features of the foot. There are drawbacks in it, for example, when entering the store, the legs get hot, when leaving - it is cold. In addition, winter boots made of genuine leather are designed for euro-winter, as in severe frosts the legs in them will invariably freeze.
Another option is boots made of felt. This material is created by wet felting wool, from which it becomes very dense and warm. In addition, it is comfortable in it, even when the reading of the thermometer moves to -30 degrees. The only drawback to the felt boot is the split top and the insole. In contrast, a single design, such as in boots, in the shoes can go cold.
A relatively new material for shoes - the membrane. In combination with natural fur, it can withstand severe frost. Micropores in its structure perfectly remove moisture at the same time, not missing it from the outside.
Note the most impractical options:
- artificial leather;
- nubuck;
- suede.
How to choose
The first thing that is important to pay attention to when choosing shoes is size. It is not necessary to purchase products in advance, especially if the purchase is intended for a child under one year old. At this age, the foot of the season can grow by three sizes and you can guess here indefinitely, leaving unnecessary new shoes on the far shelves of the cabinets.
Winter boots should have a margin equal to 1-1.5 thick adult finger in the toe area of the shoe. Of course, it can be difficult to verify, therefore, it is necessary to carefully measure the child’s foot before purchasing it and correlate it with the dimensional grid of the shoe manufacturer.
Some parents abuse the size of shoes for growth. It is worth noting that the wrong position of the foot in more than the need shoes develops problems of the feet, and the heat brings much less. Footwear at the same time makes the circulatory system malfunction, causing the legs to quickly freeze even in the warmest and most natural footwear.
If the size is chosen, it is important to carefully consider the style. So, lacing on shoes is inconvenient for children of school and preschool age, a zipper or velcro version will be much more appropriate. By the way, the lightning must be thoroughly checked before purchase, because they disable shoes in the first place.
