This winter you are more likely than others to find yourself dressed up in layers, which is great because we all need to conserve energy and save money, but when it comes to our feet there is no way to go wrong. The trick to looking great in the winter is finding a brand that not only specializes in winter boots but also in all weather boots and dress shoes. A good tip is to shop for your winter boots first and then find a brand that makes winter boots as well. A lot of designers make both dress shoes and winter boots so try and find a designer that has both in their line. You will be surprised at how well the two match up and will save you a considerable amount of money in the long run.
As a rule of thumb you want to find a boot that is waterproof, thatch resistant, leather uppers that are lightweight, that is easy to clean, comfortable to wear in all types of weather, breathable, and will not slip when you are walking on ice or snow. A tip for choosing your winter boots is to buy a boot that has a double shaft, so the boot will have insulating properties as well. The UGG sheepskin made by UGG is considered the best in both waterproofing and insulating properties. Also, you will find a wide variety of winter boots such as moccasin, Merino wool, New Zealand lamb skin, Tony Lama, Asic, Gazelles, Birkenstock, and many others to choose from. It is important to try them all on and walk around in them to decide which one feels the best.
One thing to remember when shopping for extreme cold weather boots is that the soul should be reinforced rubber to help absorb shock. Many people who choose to use trekking boots with rock salt or sand to put their lives at risk by walking around in extremely cold temperatures for extended periods of time. Most people who do this would never venture out in anything but an adequate pair of good hiking boots. To help make your life a little more comfortable when trekking, a good idea would be to purchase a pair with a built-in pair of insoles. These insoles are specifically designed to fit your feet and help reduce blistering and rubbing.
