Selection Tips
For the correct selection of men's work boots, it is worth adhering to certain criteria, thanks to which you can feel safe while working on the street or in production halls.
Pay attention to the durability of the shoe first.
This characteristic is the most important, since it is it that ensures the safety of the legs.
We should not forget about heat protection, as it is very important in low temperature conditions. Before buying, carefully consider the inner layer of the boots, especially the insulation - it is he who should keep your feet warm.
Manufacturing materials
To be able to distinguish between shoes and their purpose, you need to know what materials they are made of.
The most famous and widespread material is leather, which has been tested by time and by more than one generation of footwear.
Another known material is suede. It is cheaper than quality leather and does not need careful maintenance. Among the shortcomings, an excessively dense structure can be noted, which can cause the foot to sore. It should be said about the fact that suede is easily contaminated.
Often, for the manufacture of shoes, nubuck is used, which is made of leather, and during processing is subjected to grinding and tanning. If we talk about the features of this material, then in many respects it is similar to leather, but there are some differences. For example, nubuck can be further processed to keep moisture out and be more durable. However, this will make the shoes a little heavier.
There are varieties of nubuck:
- natural is very similar to skin and has approximately similar properties;
- artificial is a multilayer polymer that is much cheaper than natural and does not absorb water.
