Whether you are going on a winter sports holiday or a walk in nature, or just want to get a fresh (and wet) nose: your shoes will always have a hard time in the winter months. Snow, rain, ice, wind, meltwater, road salt, etc. will take their toll. But a good pair of water- and windproof winter shoes will ensure these issues don’t stand a chance. Their main feature is excellent insulation against the cold. A warm fleece, cotton or synthetic fibre lining will keep your feet nice and warm, even in sub-zero temperatures.
Good winter shoes are shoes that protect your feet and keep them warm, dry and comfortable in the worst conditions. Your shoes are constantly exposed to moisture during the winter months. Your feet get cold when they get wet, which can spoil your entire winter walk. So you need to choose shoes that are completely waterproof yet release sweat and water vapour from the inside out.
Hiking areas become even more challenging during the winter months. You have to be able to rely on a sturdy sole with good grip when the ground is frozen. The sole of a good pair of winter shoes has a deep profile like the winter tyres of a car. This will help ensure you don’t fall over on snow-covered paths.
But their most important feature is good insulation. Your feet need to stay warm, even when temperatures dip well below zero. Cold feet are not only unpleasant, they can also cause poor blood flow. And that’s great news for viruses. A warm lining made from fleece, cotton or synthetic fibre will keep your feet nice and warm in all conditions.
