With special scrupulousness parents buy winter shoes. After all, the child should not only be comfortable. Every mother wants winter shoes to be warm and not wet if there is slush on the street. According to the requirements of the parents, Yegoryevsk-Obuv OAO produces high-quality waterproof membrane shoes. The membrane "Kotofey" allows you to protect the feet of babies as much as possible from moisture and hypothermia.
Features of membrane shoes
In rainy autumn and humid winter it is very difficult to protect the child's feet from getting wet.
The only safe and practical material that allows you to create waterproof boots is a membrane. “Kotofey” widely uses this material when creating different models.
The goods of this brand are constantly undergoing various tests and checks. Therefore, parents can buy Kotofey shoes with confidence. The membrane will reliably protect the baby's legs from moisture and cold.
The benefits of membrane shoes
- The membrane passes air. Thus, the child’s legs are constantly “breathing” and are not steamed.
- A prolonged stay in membrane boots does not cause discomfort in the child. Also, shoes made of this material do not injure the child under active loads.
- The presence of pores in the membrane makes it easy to evaporate excess moisture. For each mother, it is very important that the baby's legs do not overheat. Therefore, the main material used by Kotofey employees to design winter boots is a membrane. Reviews of parents confirm the practicality of shoes made of this material.
- The membrane does not pass moisture even in slush and rainy weather. The fact is that it has microscopic holes, which are many times smaller than a drop of water. Therefore, the baby's feet remain completely dry.
How to care for membrane boots
- When using shoes from the membrane, care must be taken to prevent a continuous water film from appearing on its surface. This will interfere with the air exchange processes inside the boots.
- Wear and remove boots according to the features of the model. For example, if the model has a zipper and Velcro, then when donning, you must first undo the Velcro and then the zipper.
- When donning boots, it is recommended that you always use a shoe shovel. Thus, the heel part can be protected from deformation.
- When removing shoes, you must ensure that the child does not step on the backdrop. Otherwise, the sole may tear off.
- Wet boots and boots made of membrane can be dried only at room temperature, away from the heating system and any other sources of heat. Do not dry membrane shoes in direct sunlight. Previously, shoes need to be filled with crumpled paper.
- To clean the membrane shoes from dirt and dust, just wipe it with a damp and then dry cloth.
Manufacturers recommend that parents buy more than one pair of membrane shoes. The fact is that it rains in the fall or winter. In humid, wet weather, it is advisable to change boots and boots every two days. Although the main material of Kotofey TM winter shoes is a membrane, the reviews of parents confirm the need to have a spare pair of boots. After all, even the highest quality waterproof boots after rain or slush require thorough drying.
What conditions does membrane shoes withstand?
Membrane boots and boots are designed for use in the early cold spring, late autumn and wet winters. In rainy cold weather, nothing can provide dryness and warmth to the feet of children like the Kotofey membrane. The temperature regime of demi - season shoes is up to -15 º. The manufacturer produces insulated boots for autumn and spring, which have a woolen fur lining inside. A child can safely wear such shoes until winter. Demi-season boots "Kotofey" are also suitable for warm, wet winters.
Heat retention is another important property that the Kotofey membrane has. The temperature regime of the membrane shoes does not make it possible to freeze children's legs, even in cold weather. But this does not mean that in warm weather the child in boots with a membrane will be hot. The membrane lets in enough air. A woolen fur lining allows you to keep warm. This is important for parents to consider before putting on an extra pair of socks.
Dimensional grid "Kotofey"
The membrane is used by the manufacturer in boots and boots of various sizes. Therefore, parents can buy membrane shoes both for the baby who has just learned to walk, and for an older child.
So that parents can easily choose shoes, the manufacturer compiled a dimensional grid. Basically, it does not differ from the standard, which is used in Russia.

Rules for measuring the legs of a child
When choosing children's shoes, it is very important to correctly determine the size. To do this, before buying, you need to accurately measure the foot of the child. To get the most accurate results, during the measurement you need to adhere to these rules:
- The child should stand - the fact is that under the weight of the body the length of the foot becomes a little longer.
- Socks should be worn on the feet with which the child will wear shoes. Measure feet with socks.
- Place a sheet of paper under both feet of the child and circle with a pencil.
- In the resulting figures, you need to measure the distance between the most distant points.
- If the length of the right and left legs is different, you need to choose the largest.
- Find the resulting length in the dimensional grid and determine the appropriate shoe size.
Orthopedists are advised to choose shoes with a margin of 0.5 cm. For winter boots and boots, a margin of up to 1.5 cm is allowed.
