(working clothes).
Winter safety shoes are boots, boots, felt boots, intended for use in the cold season in working conditions.
What should winter safety shoes be like?
The main task winter safety shoes— provide maximum comfort while working outdoors. High-quality men's and women's insulated Work shoes made from genuine leather, V Natural fur, as well as special synthetic materials, are used as insulation.The soles are provided with special protection against slipping, which makes the products safe in winter.
Types of winter shoes
Winter safety safety shoes classified depending on the area where it is used, as well as on the form of execution. In the first case, shoes are distinguished:
- for builders;
- for security services;
- for chemical industry workers;
- for employees of mining enterprises;
- for transport workers and other fields of activity.
The form of winter special shoes can be different. Boots are produced whose shafts can be shortened or lengthened; ankle boots, warm boots and felt boots. The selection of a specific type of product and model 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 presupposes certain qualities.

Despite global warming in the mid-latitudes of Russia, there are still many places in the world where winter remains winter. For those who face real frosts, we have reviewed winter shoes designed for extremely low temperatures.
At the time of buying winter boots for special low temperatures The first thing that makes sense to pay attention to is the material of the top. His choice is greatly influenced by the intended purpose of the shoes. Take, for example, frequent alternation of temperatures. This is especially true for car travelers, because, one way or another, periodically you have to leave the warm interior to explore the area, and then return inside again. From such movements, snow and ice frozen on the street will melt when it is “plus”. And if the top of the shoe is not designed to withstand water, then the insulation will also get wet, which will significantly affect the comfort of the next “walk.” Rubber boots seem to be good for such a situation, but they are inconvenient to drive a car (well, except for a “loaf”). It is better to choose shoes with a fabric or leather upper, treated with a good water-repellent impregnation or containing a high-quality membrane.
Thermal insert from natural fur retains heat only when dry. Should not be used when walking for long periods of time 
FISHING AND HUNTING
Winter fishing also has special requirements. You have to sit in one place a lot, which means your shoes should be as warm as possible. But at the same time, the fisherman deals with water. There is always a risk that the membrane or impregnation will not withstand its direct impact - and the end of the extraction process. Therefore, it is more logical to choose a rubber top that does not get wet under any conditions. True, since we are talking about severe frosts, the tires must correspond to them - ordinary tires really don’t like low temperatures.
But for hunting or long hikes, the upper material is special significance does not have. The main thing is that the leg feels comfortable when walking. And for this you need, first of all, a well-bending sole. Moreover, it should bend not only in the store, but also at the temperature of intended use.
The correct thermal pad removes moisture from the foot and condenses it on the outer surface. The foil reflects heat inward, creating a thermos effect
THE MAIN THING IS DRY!
The material, of course, is the first thing to start choosing from, but not the main thing. The main thing to consider when choosing shoes for the cold season is their ability to wick moisture away from the foot. Because achieving ideal comfort when it is neither hot nor cold is almost impossible. Therefore, if your feet don’t freeze, they sweat. And increased humidity, even during a short stop, leads to severe cooling. And no insulation will save you. But if the foot remains dry all the time, then even in not the most insulated shoes it will be warm if you move more actively.
And this is where the fun begins. It is clear that fabric or leather boots it is not so difficult to make them permeable to moisture from the inside and at the same time protect them from water from the outside. The already mentioned membranes in the upper will cope with this task. But what about tires? After all, she will not be able to learn to “breathe” under any circumstances. And this is where multilayer structures come to the rescue. By the way, these rubber boots are designed for the most extreme temperatures. And all thanks to the complexity internal structure. In the Kamik Goliath and Baffin Titan models with a stated operating temperature of minus 70°C and minus 100°C, respectively, the insulation is made of a separate insert like felt boots. It works as a moisture collector and removes it from the foot to its outer surface. There is foil with micro-holes, which condenses moisture, and it flows down to the sole. As a result, the feet remain dry for a long time, and condensation collects in the grooves on the inside of the sole or under the grooved insole. Drying such shoes is also not difficult: the “felt boot” is removed from the rubber boot and dries quite quickly. Due to the large thickness of the insulation, thick sole and rubber, it is inconvenient to walk long distances in them, but they are excellent for passive exposure to cold weather.
The ROKS “Antarctica” model is quite close to these heat storage products. But the structure there is different. It is a fabric-leather boot, covered with a rubber galosh underneath. The insulation, just like the rubber representatives, is made in the form of a removable “felt boot” and consists of alternating layers of artificial fibrous materials. The outside of the insert is covered with a layer of foil. The insulation layer of the Antarctica is thinner than that of the Titan and Goliath, so they are designed for more active activities or less frost.
Bare ice is common in winter. Therefore, the sole should not slip 
LIGHTWEIGHT SOPHISTICATED
If you are a fan of movement - hiking, camping, 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. These models have insulation attached to the top layer. Moisture is removed directly to the surface of the boot due to the “breathable” outer material - fabric or leather. The combination of impregnation and membrane gives the models water-repellent properties. And yet, despite the similarities general principles, the boots are completely different. Firstly, the minimum temperature. For the Irish Setter SNOW CLAW XT, for example, the stated temperature is down to minus 70°C with active use! The fact is that they use a fairly progressive Insulate insulation with a density of 2000 g/m2, which allows you to achieve this 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 follow fashion. They have their own insulation, providing the Winterlude 6 and Snowmotion 6 models with heat resistance down to minus 32°C with 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 this, you are doomed to constant movement: the slightest stop and the cold will immediately reach your feet, and it will be difficult to warm them without a stove or heater. Natural fur also takes a long time to dry, even compared to very thick inserts made from rubber boots. So these boots are only good for short hikes or long periods of quiet sitting at the hole.
THIS IS SUCH A HEIGHT...
Boots also differ in height. In principle, high-top shoes are preferable for winter to reduce the risk of snow getting inside. But such shoes are less comfortable during active walking. Therefore, some manufacturers make low boots, providing them with attachments for protective gaiters. These are the models from Merrell. Columbia, despite its rather high boots, also has gaiters attached. But Irish Setter believes that the height of its model (up to the middle of the shin) and a tight fit will be enough to protect against deep snow.
The protrusion on the back on some models is a mount for skis or snowshoes. 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 encountering it is at the bottom of the boot. Therefore, shoes for active pastime are often equipped with “galoshes” on the bottom made of rubber or polymer, which completely prevents 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 a shoe getting into a puddle.
Yes, if you prefer boots with a tongue, make sure it is sewn in. And even better - it formed a single whole with the ankle boots, forming, as it were, a boot. Only in this case is there a chance that water or snow will not penetrate into the shoes through this weakened area.
PLEASANT FLEXIBILITY
Now that we've sorted out the top and the insides, it's time to move on to inspecting the sole. This element of the shoe must also comply with the conditions of use. If prolonged immobility is expected, better sole choose one that is thick and porous from the inside - it will take longer to freeze. But you should understand that you can’t walk much with such a sole, your feet will quickly get tired. Therefore, for lovers of active recreation and running hunting, it is better to choose a sole that is not very thick, but allows the foot to bend easily. But long stops in such shoes are not recommended - your feet will quickly freeze.
In addition to thickness, you should evaluate the grip properties of the sole. The fact that snow in winter is deep and loose is not always true. In open areas, it is usually blown away and an ice platform is exposed. The snow thickness is also thin on the slopes. Therefore, shoes must confidently cling to both ice and uneven soil and be well cleared of snow. Some manufacturers supplement the sole tread with metal spikes. This is the ROKS “Antarctica” model. 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 has a 6mm tread depth and heavy-duty lugs on both the underside and sidewalls, just like an off-road tire.
DON'T PASS BY
Every self-respecting manufacturer has its own features that, to one degree or another, increase the comfort of the boots, although this no longer affects the main characteristics so much. True, there are models that are impossible to ignore.
Take, for example, the Irish Setter SHADOWTREK boots. They look like ordinary 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 must agree, how can a real motorist indifferently pass by rubber boots with the Nokian logo? Even if it is Nokian not Tires, but Footwear. The main thing here is the quality of the rubber upper. The cast construction will not allow ruptures or peeling, the sole stands confidently even on slippery surfaces, and the material itself will withstand frost down to minus 40°C. And the corresponding insulation insert can be purchased separately.

What else to see:
Hello, dear readers!
I confess honestly! I'm a creepy little thing. In winter, my feet get cold in any shoes. In addition, I am the mother of a small child, and we are supposed to walk for at least an hour every day. Oh yes! I also only wear skirts and dresses. So I set out to find the warmest but feminine shoes for the winter!
I needed: very warm, inexpensive and feminine!
This is what I dug up.
No matter how beautiful and feminine leather and suede boots are, you can’t walk in them for long. Therefore, heavier artillery is needed.
Having searched for women’s opinions on websites and forums, I determined that the warmest ones are felt boots. Let's take a closer look at them.
High boots
High boots are the warmest type of footwear. True, not the cheapest. You will only be truly warm in good high boots made of natural fur, wool and leather. Such boots can cost up to $1,000 per pair.
There are high boots whose feet are also covered with fur, and these are much warmer:
By the way, owners of high fur boots claim that the reagents used by road services do not “touch” them. Also, in severe frosts, high boots are warm, but in milder weather, they are not hot!
I had high boots, although they were completely unnatural. I will say that the fur boot is really very warm. But my feet were very cold under the leatherette.
What to wear with high boots
High boots belong to the ethnic style and can look very feminine with skirts:
High boots go well with everything knitted, fur and leather. Especially with accessories. But you can wear them with a down jacket:
My conclusion: Good high boots are very warm, beautiful, but... a little expensive!
UGG boots
Uggs are boots that are made of sheepskin with the wool on the inside and the suede on the outside. The sole is synthetic. Good warm ugg boots can be bought for 5,000 rubles.
Ugg boots care
Of course, such shoes are only suitable for dry snow. Moisture and dirt are contraindicated for them. But you need to clean them carefully. If they are already dirty, do not wet them or dry them near a heat source. Just let them dry at normal air temperature and then, after slightly moistening them, brush them with a toothbrush. Caring for them is the same as caring for suede boots. It would be a good idea to purchase special tools for this: a brush, cleaning spray, water-repellent.
What to wear with uggs
Ugg boots are a casual style, so there is no question of femininity. Also, such boots shorten the legs, so little ones will need to think before buying them.
It is also worth noting that such boots are suitable only for women with very straight legs, because visually capable of distorting the silhouette of any legs.
These shoes look better with jeans and leggings:
But many people wear them with short skirts:
In any case, the top of the image should be voluminous:
Suitable outerwear for such shoes - these are down jackets, short fur coats, ponchos, loose coats:
My conclusion: Uggs are very warm (if natural), accessible, but a little ungraceful) Besides, I don’t have very straight legs, plus I’m one and a half meters tall).
So here's what worked best for me:
Felt boots
This is the most traditional shoes for Russians. Felted felt boots) Price from 1500 rubles. Boots felted by hand are more expensive. But they are also much warmer.
But at first glance it seems - what? Felt boots? I won't wear it for anything. Although, now there is such a variety of felt boots that the most demanding lady will find her match.
Just look at the photos:
Caring for felt boots
Felt boots should not be dried near a heat source. Only at room temperature. After use, be sure to shake off the snow from them. Moths like to eat felt boots, so take care of them from them - store them clean in a bag with lavender or wormwood, or with special means from moths.
Dry felt boots should be cleaned with a pumice stone or a stiff brush. But if the dirt is ingrained, then you need to clean them with a carpet cleaner: apply foam, after 5 minutes wipe it off with a dry cloth. Dry the boots and you're done!
By the way, white felt boots are easy to clean with semolina: rub it into the felt and beat the felt boots thoroughly. Or lather with laundry soap, rinse and dry carefully.
What to wear with felt boots
There are a lot of designer felt boots on sale now; they can be worn with everything we wear. regular boots. Traditional felt boots look better with something equally traditional, ethnic, Russian:
And now I will tell you about my acquisition. Test drive so to speak)
I bought inexpensive but feminine felt boots through the wildberries.ru store. The company is Cooper.
What can I say. I chose a feminine model with heels and a flower:
Well, first of all, I bought them for walks with my son, and mainly for warmth. Warming they are very strong! Especially due to the fact that I took a size larger than mine (not 36, but 37). The foot in two thin socks “rides” on the felt boots and gets very hot. But! You can't stand in them for long - you have to move.
Sole thick, non-slip, comfortable, one-piece with heel.
Appearance. Of course, these are budget boots. They cost 2300 rubles. The felt is not the thinnest, but not rough either. You won't wear them to the Oscars, but they're great for walking! I am very pleased with my purchase! Thanks to my husband All my requirements were taken into account here: inexpensive, warm and feminine! I recommend it to everyone)
