My grandmother, a renowned fashionista, always told me that the main item of clothing is shoes. “Remember, baby, if you choose the wrong pair, your whole day will go down the drain,” she said. “You won’t get anything but a spoiled mood, an awkward gait and bloody blisters.” How right my wise grandmother was!
I constantly remember her words, especially in the summer. Agree, beautiful but uncomfortable sandals truly poison the life of the owner, and the gait “a la a paralyzed grasshopper” does not add charm, but only causes laughter and pity among others. So let's figure out how to put on shoes in the hot season so that it is convenient, comfortable and healthy?
What shoes are preferable in summer?
Summer heat, the air is thick and dense, the asphalt melts under the scorching sun, and clothes stick to a sweaty body like a second skin... I think everyone is familiar with this uncomfortable state. And if you also make a mistake with your shoes, then a walk around the city turns into real torture.How often have I observed lovely young ladies who bought packs of plaster at the pharmacy, and then, on the nearest bench, sealed the bleeding wounds on their legs with it. A terrible and pathetic sight. But it’s not difficult to avoid such troubles. You just need to understand a few simple rules.
First of all, summer shoes should be soft and elastic. Be sure to check that the straps or laces secure it well on your leg, but do not squeeze your foot. The fact is that in the hot season the body swells a little, and elegant clogs or sandals bought at the autumn sale may become small after an hour's walk under the scorching sun.
The material from which the pair is made is also important.. Natural leather and suede, of course, are more expensive, but your feet will not sweat or slip in them. In general, I think you can save on anything, just not on shoes. Yes, one pair from a leading manufacturer costs as much as 3-4 Chinese fakes, but it has a much longer service life, and wearing one is a real pleasure. No discomfort, foot pain or calluses.
How to wear sports shoes in hot weather?
But what about those who prefer an active lifestyle and sports style of clothing in the hot season? Classic models in this case are inappropriate and uncomfortable - it is difficult to imagine a skateboarder in shoes or a cyclist pedaling in elegant sandals. Therefore, their option is comfortable and stylish sports shoes: sneakers, moccasins, sneakers, sandals.
They do not limit movement and allow you to stay on the “crest of the wave” without experiencing leg pain or fatigue.. An ideal option for those who value freedom and comfort most of all.
Moccasins
An excellent choice for a walk on a hot summer day are soft and comfortable moccasins.Today on store shelves you can find hundreds of stylish models in all colors of the rainbow. However only those made from natural materials (cotton or suede) deserve your attention. Otherwise, wearing them will be uncomfortable, especially considering the fact that these shoes are worn exclusively on bare feet, and knee-highs, socks, and slippers are prohibited. Choose the color scheme at your discretion, but I would recommend giving preference to light or neutral tones - the settled dust will not be so noticeable.
By the way! Moccasins absolutely do not go with a tracksuit! At the same time, they look good paired with cropped trousers, capri pants, breeches, jeans, shorts, tunics and matching sundresses.
Sneakers
Sneakers have been popular among followers of an active lifestyle for many decades. They are comfortable, do not restrict movement, and fit well on the leg. However, in summer you should wear them with caution.
Unfortunately, most sneakers are made of artificial materials. The vulcanized rubber outsole and dense fabric upper restrict airflow, and after a couple of hours your feet will begin to sweat. The result of increased sweating is unpleasant - corns, calluses, fungus and a characteristic “smell”. Of course, this doesn’t mean at all that you have to throw your favorite pair into the trash. Just don’t “grow into” them all day, let your feet rest.
Important! Wearing sneakers is contraindicated for people with flat feet!
But sneakers in the heat are generally contraindicated. This kind of “fur coat” will wall up your feet, like in a bathhouse.
Sports sandals
The attitude of fashionistas towards such sandals has long been ambiguous. Some said that they could be worn exclusively for sports, others defended the right to wear these shoes everywhere.And judging by the fact that you can find such sandals today both in the urban “concrete jungle” and on the beach, they have firmly taken their place in the wardrobe of most people.
Well, in principle, there is nothing unusual about this. The shoes are comfortable, loose, provide air access from all sides, and can be combined with both sportswear and dresses. But it remains unchanged taboo on socks, although many men conveniently forget about this, generating a lot of jokes and anecdotes with their actions.
How to choose the “right” shoes?
There are no clear rules that tell you what to wear in the summer. Here everyone focuses exclusively on their own style and weather. But, of course, it is worth considering some points so as not to look ridiculous because of your choice:
Girls with wide feet should avoid buying flip-flops - they will make your feet look even wider. It is better to stick to models with closed sides;- low and wide ankles will hide ankle straps (or their weave);
- a small heel will make the leg visually more graceful;
- for women with curvy figures, the ideal choice is platform sandals;
- if your toes are too long, instead of open clogs, buy shoes with a small hole in the toe.
The choice of summer shoes is huge. The main thing is that it is convenient and comfortable, protects the feet from damage, does not rub and allows the skin to breathe. Buy it wisely, and then you will forget about your bad mood, fatigue and calluses, walking through life with a flying gait.
