Winter shoes 30 degrees. The warmest men's winter boots

(overalls).

Winter safety shoes are boots, boots, felt boots designed for use in the cold season in working conditions.

What should be winter safety shoes?

The main task of winter safety shoes is to provide maximum comfort while working outdoors. High-quality men's and women's insulated work shoes are made of genuine leather, in natural fur is used as a heater, as well as special synthetic materials.Special protection of the sole against slipping is provided, which makes the products safe in winter.

Types of winter shoes

Winter protective footwear is classified depending on the area where it is used, as well as the form of execution. In the first case, shoes are distinguished:

for builders;
for security services;
for workers in the chemical industry;
for employees of mining enterprises;
for workers of transport and other fields of activity.

The form of execution of winter special footwear can be different. Boots are produced, the shaft of which can be shortened or elongated; half boots, warm boots and felt boots. The selection of a specific type of products and models depends on the characteristics of the conditions in which the shoes will be used. So, if you have to work in it at high humidity, it is imperative that the products are waterproof. The presence of aggressive chemicals where the products will be used also suggests certain qualities.

To choose the best option in each case will help the specialists of our company, who have the necessary knowledge in this area. Check out the range and prices

Despite global warming in the middle latitudes of Russia, there are still many places in the world where winter remains winter. For those who are faced with real frosts, we have revised winter shoes designed for extremely low temperatures.

When buying winter boots for especially low temperatures, the first thing that makes sense to pay attention to is the upper material. His choice is strongly influenced by the intended purpose of the shoe. Take, for example, the frequent alternation of temperatures. This is especially true for auto travelers, because, one way or another, from time to time you have to leave the warm cabin for reconnaissance of the area, and then return inside again. From such movements, snow and ice frozen on the street will melt with a “plus”. And if the top of the shoe is not designed to withstand water, then the insulation will also get wet, which will noticeably affect the comfort of the next “walk”. Rubber boots seem to be good for such a situation, but it is inconvenient to drive a car in them (well, except perhaps a "loaf"). It is better to choose shoes with a fabric or leather upper treated with a good water-repellent impregnation or with a high-quality membrane.

Thermal insert made of natural fur retains heat only when dry. Do not use for long walks

FISHING AND HUNTING
Winter fishing also has special requirements. You have to sit in one place a lot, that is, shoes should be as warm as possible. But at the same time, the fisherman is dealing with water. There is always a risk that the membrane or impregnation will not withstand its direct hit - and the end of the extraction process. Therefore, it is more logical to choose a rubber top that does not get wet under any circumstances. True, since we are talking about severe frosts, rubber must correspond to them - the usual one does not like low temperatures.

But for hunting or long hikes, the upper material does not really matter. The main thing is that the leg feels comfortable when walking. And for this you need, first of all, a well-flexible sole. Moreover, it should bend not only in the store, but also at the temperature of the intended use.

The right thermal pad ensures moisture is removed from the foot and condenses it on the outer surface. The foil reflects heat inward, creating the effect of a thermos

MAIN - DRY!
The material, of course, is the first thing to start with, but not the main thing. The main thing to consider when choosing shoes for the cold season is its ability to remove moisture from the foot. Because it is almost impossible to achieve perfect comfort when it is neither hot nor cold. So, the feet, if not cold, then sweat. And high humidity, even with a short stop, leads to strong cooling. And no heater will save. But if the foot remains dry all the time, then even in not the most insulated boots it will be warm if you move more actively.

And here the most interesting begins. It is clear that it is not so difficult to make fabric or leather boots permeable to moisture from the inside and at the same time protect them from water from the outside. The already mentioned membranes in the composition of the top will cope with this task. But what about rubber? After all, she will not be able to learn to “breathe” under any circumstances. This is where multi-layer structures come to the rescue. By the way, these rubber boots are designed for the most extreme temperatures. And all thanks to the complex internal structure. In the models Kamik Goliath and Baffin Titan with the stated temperature of use, respectively, minus 70°C and minus 100°C, the insulation is made by a separate insert like a felt boot. It works as a moisture collector and draws it away from the foot to its outer surface. There is a foil with micro holes, which condenses moisture, and it flows down to the sole. As a result, the feet stay dry for a long time, and the condensate collects in the grooves on the inside of the sole or under the corrugated insole. Drying such shoes is also easy: the “boot” is removed from the rubber boot and dries pretty quickly. Due to the large thickness of the insulation, thick soles and rubber, walking in them for long distances is inconvenient, but they are perfect for passive stay in the cold.

The model ROKS "Antarctica" is quite close to these products in terms of heat storage. But the building is different. It is a fabric-leather boot, dressed from below in a rubber overshoe. The insulation, as well as the rubber representatives, is made in the form of a removable "boot" and consists of alternating layers of artificial fibrous materials. Outside the insert is covered with a layer of foil. The layer of insulation in "Antarctica" is thinner than that of Titan and Goliath, so they are designed for more active pastime or less frost.

Bare ice is common in winter. Therefore, the sole must not slip.

LIGHTWEIGHT REFINED
If you are a fan of movement - hiking, caravanning, hunting - then massive shoes are not for you. But thin and light does not mean cold. This is confirmed by the Irish Setter SNOW CLAW XT, Columbia TITANIUM BUGABOOT XTM OMNI-TECH, Merrell Winterlude 6 and Snowmotion 6 boots. In these models, insulation is attached to the upper layer. Moisture is removed immediately to the surface of the boot due to the "breathing" outer material - fabric or leather. The water-repellent properties of the models are given by a combination of impregnation and membrane. And yet, despite the similar general principles, the boots are completely different. First, the minimum temperature. For the Irish Setter SNOW CLAW XT, for example, temperatures of up to minus 70°C are declared with active use! The fact is that a rather progressive Insulate insulation with a density of 2000 g / m2 is used there, which allows achieving such a result. Columbia TITANIUM BUGABOOT XTM OMNI-TECH is also quite warm: minus 54°C with active use. But here the Insulate insulation is thinner, “only” 600 g/m2. But Merrell did not go on about fashion. They have their own insulation, which provides the Winterlude 6 and Snowmotion 6 models with heat resistance down to minus 32 ° C at a density of 200 g / m2.

Models with natural fur insulation stand apart. This material holds heat well while dry. But the trouble is that with active movement, the legs become too warm and the fur gets wet. After that, you are doomed to constant movement: the slightest stop - and the cold will immediately get to your feet, and it will be difficult to warm them up without a stove or heater. Natural fur also dries for a long time, even compared to very thick inserts from rubber boots. So these boots are only good for hiking short distances or long quiet sitting by the hole.

HERE IS SUCH HEIGHT ...
Shoes differ in height. In principle, high shoes are preferable for winter to reduce the risk of snow getting inside. But such shoes are less comfortable with active walking. Therefore, some manufacturers make low boots, providing attachments for protective gaiters on them. These are models from Merrell. Columbia, despite the rather high berets, also provides for fastening leggings. But the Irish Setter believes that the height of his model (to the middle of the lower leg) and a snug fit will be enough to protect against deep snow.

The ledge at the back on some models is a ski or snowshoe mount. Very useful thing

Since extreme temperatures do not last all winter even in the Arctic, manufacturers also take care of protection from water. Most often in winter, it is under a layer of snow, that is, the greatest risk of meeting it is at the bottom of the boot. Therefore, often shoes for active pastime are supplied from the bottom with "galoshes" made of rubber or polymer, which completely excludes getting wet. The upper is made of more permeable materials (models ROKS "Antarctica", Columbia TITANIUM BUGABOOT XTM OMNI-TECH, Merrell Winterlude 6 and Snowmotion 6). The decision is justified, since even the best membrane is not always able to cope with the boot getting into a puddle.

Yes, if you prefer boots with a tongue, make sure it's built in. And even better - it was a single whole with berets, forming, as it were, a bootleg. Only in this case there is a chance that water or snow will not penetrate into the shoe through this weakened area.

PLEASANT FLEXIBILITY
We figured out the top and the insides - it's time to move on to inspecting the sole. This element of footwear must also comply with the conditions of use. If prolonged immobility is expected, it is better to choose a thick and porous sole from the inside - it will freeze longer. But it should be understood that with such a sole you don’t look like much, your legs will quickly get tired. Therefore, for lovers of outdoor activities and running hunting, it is better to choose a sole, albeit not very thick, but allowing the foot to bend calmly. But long stops are not recommended in such shoes - the feet will quickly freeze.

In addition to the thickness, the grip properties of the sole should be evaluated. The fact that snow is deep and loose in winter is not always true. In open areas, it is usually blown away and an ice platform is exposed. The thickness of the snow is small and on the slopes. Therefore, shoes should confidently cling to both ice and uneven ground and be well cleared of snow. Some manufacturers supplement the outsole tread with metal spikes. This is the model of ROKS "Antarctica". Some try to adapt the rubber compound to different surfaces and make the tread pattern as aggressive as possible. For example, the Merrell Snowmotion 6 model has a tread depth of 6 mm and powerful lugs on both the underside and on the side, like off-road tires.

DON'T PASS BY
Each self-respecting manufacturer has its own features that increase the comfort of boots to one degree or another, although this does not affect the main characteristics so much. True, there are models by which it is impossible to pass.

Take, for example, the Irish Setter SHADOWTREK boots. Looks like regular high boots with a fabric upper. The fact that they do not get wet and protect from frost down to minus 32°C is also not surprising. But they are also light, 680 grams each.

Another model that attracted our attention cannot be fully called winter. It is not designed for severe frosts. But, you see, how can a real motorist indifferently pass by rubber boots with the Nokian logo? Even if it's Nokian not Tires, but Footwear. The main thing here is the quality of the rubber upper. The molded construction will not allow breaks and delaminations, the sole stands confidently even on slippery surfaces, and the material itself will withstand frost down to minus 40°C. And the corresponding insert-insulation can be bought separately.

Husky boots ROKS "Antarctica S-162" (2200 rubles)

Rubber overshoe, thick thermal boot, one-piece shaft, spikes on the sole.

Suitable for long periods of inactivity in the cold.

What else to see:

The first version of men's winter shoes appeared about twenty-eight thousand years ago, when people began to actively explore the northern territories. Of course, it did not look much like modern shoes, then shoes were a dressed animal skin wrapped around the leg with laces. However, it performed the most important function, which has not changed over time, namely, it protected the legs from the cold. In addition, the wrapped skin provided protection from stones, moisture and snakes.

The first models of shoes that looked like modern shoes appeared in the nineteenth century. At that time, high-quality dressed leather began to be used for the manufacture of shoes, as well as fur, which was inside the shoe, thus providing better thermal insulation for the foot.

To date, there are a large number of options for men's shoes for the cold season, each of which is designed for its type of activity.

How dangerous is hypothermia of the feet?

The state of hypothermia, the scientific name of hypothermia, is a drop in body temperature or any part of it below 36.6 degrees. In this state, a person becomes inhibited and sleepy, the reaction and blood circulation slow down. It is because of the slowdown in the process of blood flow that the legs freeze in the first place, since a small amount of blood is not enough to maintain the normal temperature of this part of the body.

Hypothermia of the legs is also dangerous because the feet have a large number of bioactive points that are responsible for the work of many body systems, in particular, respiratory and cardiovascular. So freezing of the lower extremities can provoke the development of a large number of colds, and, even worse, heart problems.

The target orientation of winter men's shoes for low temperatures

What should be shoes for low temperatures

For the production of winter men's shoes, high quality materials must be used. Only in this case, the shoes will perform their main function, that is, protect the feet from the effects of cold. In addition, the high quality of the materials used in the production process ensures the durability of winter shoes.
Waterproof. Water is an excellent conductor of heat, so if moisture gets inside the shoes, then the body will not only have to maintain its temperature, but also give some of the heat to it, which speeds up the freezing process at times.
The materials used in the production of shoes must have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity, then heat leakage will be eliminated, as a result of which the foot loses the heat given by the blood circulation and begins to freeze.
The low weight and good flexibility of the winter footwear provide comfortable use without putting additional stress on the foot, as well as providing freedom of movement.
Comfort is also important for winter boots. Shoes should be comfortable not only in terms of performing their basic functions, but also properly selected. In other words, you need to select taking into account all the features of the foot and in accordance with the size.
The membrane layer in winter shoes is necessary to provide better thermal insulation and insulation from moisture.
Winter shoes should be well ventilated. In other words, it is necessary that all materials are breathable so that the surface of the foot can breathe. This is necessary not only to ensure comfort, but also to ensure that the foot does not sweat, because, as mentioned above, moisture contributes to the faster freezing of the foot.

Choosing men's shoes for low temperatures

Boots should be high, because thick soles better protect from the cold.
The quality material used in the production of men's winter shoes provides all the necessary characteristics, but also ensures long-term operation. In addition, in order to extend the service life, you need to take care of the shoes, namely, treat its surface with special water-repellent compounds.
Winter shoes must necessarily have a grooved sole, which provides grip between the tread and the ground, thus eliminating slippage and the possibility of injury.
Winter shoes need to be selected one size larger, as they are worn with a warm toe. The presence of a sock not only provides additional insulation, but also creates an air gap, as a result of which the leg breathes freely.
Shoes should, first of all, be comfortable and only then have an attractive appearance.
It is best to have several pairs of winter boots, for everyday wear, for work, for hunting or fishing, etc.
