Surely at least once in your life you find yourself in a situation where at a party, date or an important meeting in your head there was only one thought: it would be faster to be at home and remove these terribly uncomfortable shoes. But almost no one wonders why these shoes were generally worn on our feet, and what guided us when buying them? Read about how to avoid such situations in the future and choose not only beautiful, but also comfortable shoes.
Criteria for choosing shoes
A person with a status will never even look in the direction of a skin substitute, while for a student the price indicator will play an important role. For a girl, it’s necessary not only to buy shoes, but also to correspond to fashion trends in these shoes. The athlete does not choose shoes, but highly specialized sneakers. Well, the last, but far from important, criterion for choosing shoes is its size.
Important! For whatever parameters you choose shoes, try to come to the shoe store after lunch. In the evening, especially if you do not sit all day on a chair in the office, your legs swell. Buying a pair of shoes or boots in the morning, you risk getting too narrow shoes that are not suitable for constant wear.
Seasonality
Increasingly, on the shelves of shops among the boots there is a Eurozim. This means that the fur only covers the foot to the lower leg, and above goes into the fabric lining . Eurozima is ideal for the middle band, where the thermometer rarely drops below 15 degrees.
When choosing a demi-season shoe, it is worth considering that rains in spring and autumn are a fairly common occurrence, therefore it is better if the boots are waterproof. If preference is given to flat soles, then make sure that the zipper does not start immediately from the sole, in which case it will let moisture through.
In the summer, it is better to choose open sandals or sandals so that your legs do not overheat . Otherwise, the formation of an unpleasant odor, diaper rash, corns and other related problems is likely.
Material
Whatever the season, when choosing shoes it is always better to give preference to natural materials: leather, nubuck, suede or textiles. Natural materials allow the skin to breathe, adjust to the foot (in the case of the right choice of size) and support natural heat transfer. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford expensive shoes, so store shelves are full of a huge assortment of leatherette boots. In this case, try to choose shoes with a lining and an insole made of natural materials.
Fashion
Important! Guided by fashion, you should not rely on the rule "beauty requires sacrifice, " beautiful shoes can also be comfortable, and most importantly, they should not harm your health.
Age
Most often, shoe sellers, having seen you from afar, are already wondering which models you might like. Older people are guided primarily by the convenience and stability of boots. Middle-aged people give preference to classics, and teenagers opt for fashionable novelties or sports sneakers and sneakers. The choice of children's shoes should be approached extremely responsibly . A small but fast-growing foot is often adversely affected by improperly selected shoes.
Scope of use
Beach shoes are distinguished by the materials used in the manufacture. Most often these are rubber shale or rubber light crox. There are also so-called aqua-shoes - slippers for swimming in the sea, which protect your feet from sea urchins and cuts on sharp stones or corals.
Office shoes are distinguished by their classic strict style, while home-made shoes are convenient and practical. Rubber boots can also be called specialized shoes, in any weather or away from paved roads, they will simply become irreplaceable!
Size and fullness
Each person knows the size of their legs for sure, but not everyone knows how to choose shoes by size. Very often we buy tight shoes in the hope that they will be stretched, or, on the contrary, we take shoes one size larger to feel more comfortable, and in the end we rub our corns and put the pair we bought away on the shelf. Often, we simply do not take into account such a parameter as leg fullness. There are several full-fledged groups, and the shoes are made, considering this parameter as well as the length of the foot .
