The prerequisite for winter boots is so that they keep your feet warm and are made from a water resistant material. A high-quality sole ensures good comfort when walking in the snow. The outsoles have anti-slip and thermal insulating properties to isolate the cold from the ground.
Polartec - quickly after the introduction of Polartec, the material became a big hit in the market with thermo-insulating clothing and shoes. The Polartec insulation provides heat, but requires much less volume and weight. In addition, the material is breathable, allowing evaporation of perspiration, fast drying, surpassing other fleece fabrics in terms of durability.
Thinsulate - has been on the market for over 25 years. The Thinsulate insulating layer is thin, light and warm. The strength of the insulating layer plays an important role in terms of heat. To put it simply, in a shoe there is no room for anything massive. And this also applies to warmth. The feet are far from the heat sources of the body, so they are all the more dependent on good heat insulation. Thinsulate™ is almost twice as warm as foam, nonwoven, or common fabrics, and is one of the lightest synthetic thermal insulation on the market.
In order to ensure waterproofing of the shoes, membranes or protective sprays are used. Protective sprays must be renewed after 2-3 months, as they lose their function over time. Also shoes with membrane should be coated with protective sprays, because the material is much more stressed in shoes than in clothing and the coating helps to prolong the life of the membrane.
