STAYING WARM and dry in
winter weather can be difficult,
and your feet are particularly
prone to the perils of cold and
wet. That’s why your choice of
boots is not only a style state-
ment, but can make a big dif-
ference in how comfortable
you are overall.

Here are some tips on what to
look for when selecting cold weath-
er boots:
¢ The Sole: Rubber is the best
material for the soles of winter
boots, for several reasons. It's the
best waterproofing material, and it
also provides insulation against the
cold snow and ice. Rubber also
remains flexible in the cold, unlike
plastics, which may become brittle
and crack in extreme cold.

Tread is also a consideration for
the sole. Think about the kinds of
surfaces on which you'll be walk-
ing. A sole with a good tread will
give you traction to help you avoid
slips and falls. If you'll be in severe
conditions, a deeper tread will be
helpful to you.
¢ Insulation: For city and suburban
wear you'll want a boot that looks
good, yet has insulating properties,
or your foot may as well be in a
pair of shoes. With advances in the
materials used for insulating, you
don’t have to have bulk to have
warmth. Read the hang tags to find
out more about the bovt’s insula-
tion.

* Stainproofing: Some leathers are
treated so that they can be easily
cleaned with just a wipe of a cloth,
especially important since winter
boots are prone to unsightly white

information on the manufacturer's
hang tag about stainproofing. If it’s
not referred to, the leather is proba-

« Waterproofing: Since a wet boot
is not only uncomfortable but also
cold, keeping your boots water-
proof is essential. Regular treatment
spray is an easy and effective pro-

tection against the cold.

¢ Guarantees: The best way to
ensure that a boot will remain dry is
to look for a manufacturer’s guar-
antee or warranty.
