Today we want to give some useful advice on how to choose rubber boots at a second-hand store, so let’s get started.

Lifehacks for choosing second-hand boots

• Integrity. Since we are choosing rubber boots at a second-hand store, the first and most important point will be checking them for integrity. Carefully inspect them for various damages, microcracks, cuts. Bend them in the sole area to make sure the sole is intact. It is worth choosing a solid, cast model. Such a model, unlike the universe, will last a very long time, take this into account. So, having made sure of 100% integrity, we move on to the next stage of selection.

• Successful design. First of all, rubber boots should please your eye, you should like them, it’s like love at first sight. If this is a children’s model, then you should choose bright colors, beautiful pictures, photo printing, to surprise your child as pleasantly as possible. If we are talking about adults, then women’s and men’s will be more strict, monochromatic or with a combination of two tones. However, we recommend buying rubber boots in brighter colors, for example blue, green, orange, which will always lift your spirits in rainy weather.

• Choose the right size. Keep in mind that rubber does not stretch, so for such shoes you should take 1 size larger. Try on your boots with a warm sock, since the rubber material does not warm in cold weather. When you put them on, you should feel maximum comfort and coziness. They should be free and not tight for the foot. Take this point very seriously, since tight rubber boots can create many health problems. Be sure to walk around the store in them (second hand).

• The second important point is the lining. It should be 100% natural. Be careful, Chinese manufacturers often make the lining synthetic, which is very dangerous for health, since it increases foot sweating by 90%, which can subsequently lead to fungal diseases that are very difficult to get rid of. Another life hack from us – buy yourself antibacterial insoles for your boots, which will protect your feet 100% from germs.

• Comfortable sole. Consider this point, it should be as soft as possible, not thin, corrugated. Corrugation has a positive effect on the clarity and confidence of movements in rainy weather after frost. A hard sole constrains and significantly complicates movements and causes discomfort, friction.

• Insulated rubber boots. If you choose the insulated option, make sure that the insulation is very well secured, does not hang loose and is made of natural materials.
