How to choose winter boots: 5 rules

01
Sole
Thick, with deep treads and made of a frost-resistant material (such as TPR) - it stays flexible in the cold and slips less.
02
Upper
Genuine leather, nubuck or suede breathe and last longer. Treat suede and nubuck with a water-repellent spray before first wear.
03
Insulation
Fur or wool should line the whole foot, including the toe. Look inside and check the toe area.
04
Room to spare
Leave 0.5-1 cm of free space: the air layer keeps you warm, while tight shoes restrict circulation and your feet get cold.
05
Try-on
Try them on in the evening with a warm sock. Not sure? Order two adjacent sizes.

FAQ

How do I choose the size of winter boots online?

Measure your foot in the evening wearing a sock, add 0.5-1 cm and compare with the size chart on the model's page. You can order two adjacent sizes - a deposit is paid for each pair.

How do I care for leather after salt and de-icers?

Wipe it straight away with a soft damp cloth, dry away from radiators and apply a protective cream before you go out again.

Can I wear suede in a thaw?

Only after a good water-repellent treatment. If suede gets wet, dry it naturally and restore the nap with a rubber brush.

Where can I try shoes on in Kharkiv?

At the N-SHOES flagship in the KLASS shopping centre: 18 Donetskyi Lane, 3rd floor, near Levada metro. Daily 10:00-20:00, with everything in the catalogue in stock.
