Nubuck - skin, in the process of processing acquiring a soft and velvety surface. Nubuck gives things even more elegance and sophistication. It has all the properties of ordinary skin, but requires extra care.
Artificial leather, As a rule, it is much cheaper, but it retains heat poorly and does not let air through.
The development of technology has led to the emergence of a wide variety of waterproof materials that are relevant in the rainy season and winter.
Polyurethane - a universal synthetic substitute for rubber and rubber, which has become widespread due to its qualities. It is very light, flexible, waterproof, heat-resistant, does not require complex care. The lack of material is airtightness.
Polyurethane materials are widespread in winter and hiking shoes. Used in the manufacture of rubber boots, making them light and comfortable. Polyurethane is the most practical for soles.
PVC - polyvinyl chloride. Soles made of such material resist abrasion well and are highly resistant to aggressive media. The disadvantage is a large mass and low frost resistance.
Membrane materials are a synthetic material, with a thin film glued to it, a membrane. They are widely spread among fabrics with water-protective properties due to the fact that they are well breathable, but do not allow moisture to penetrate inside.
How to choose

Therefore, if the budget allows, it is worthwhile to dwell on them. Such shoes will last longer and will look spectacular and expensive.
Pay attention to the thickness (not less than 1 cm) and the material of the sole (polyurethane, rubber, PVC). She should bend well. It is better to choose a sole with a clear grooved pattern, this will prevent slipping. The heel must be wide and stable, otherwise you will not avoid falls.
"Lightning" should not reach to the bottom. Check that the lacing sockets are securely fastened. Pay attention to the quality of the seams. Any little thing is important.
