Winter Boots Tips for the Snow!
Yes unfortunately winter is just around the corner. It’s time to take out those boots and ensure they still fit properly – or think about buying new ones.
Consider these suggestions when you’re in the stores:
- Removable Insoles – take your foot orthotics with you and make sure that they will fit into the new boots.
- Rubber Soles – provide you with traction and stability. A lower heel and wider outsole provide the broadest base of support.
- Laces – give you the most adjustability and support for walking and overall comfort. Velcro straps offer less support but would be a more desired option than pull-on.
- Waterproof Leather or Membrane – keeping your feet dry equates to warmth and comfort. Leather boots are fine provided they have a waterproofing treatment.
- Overshoes – if you’re unable to find boots, then an overshoe such as Neos maybe your solution.
- Socks – wear warm socks when you try on your boots – with your orthotics in the boots. The socks should be made from a moisture wicking material like polypropylene, acrylic or wool – never cotton!
