Year-Round Footwear: What are the Benefits of Ladies’ Boots?

How many times have you chosen a pair of shoes only because you fell in love with them from the aesthetic point of view? I could answer I’ve done this about ten times but I’d be lying because it’s happened so much more. Same as with outfits, they matter in making a good impression but that’s not all there is to them.

As with any decision we make, ending up facing both the good and bad consequences later, let’s just say I’ve started feeling the bad ones of bad footwear shopping. I believe it’s high time for me to understand shoes aren’t a fashion staple, at least not merely, since they have a much more significant role: that of protecting our feet instead of putting pressure on them.

If a pair isn’t comfortable as it should be and is ill-fitting, feet would demonstrate it eventually, revealing all kinds of problems, from the annoying blisters, unsightly corns, painful bunions and hammertoes to athlete’s foot and even more serious, nerve damage, so it’s worth asking the question: Is it okay to put feet through pain for the sake of fashion?

Furthermore, is it okay to put your whole well-being through pain knowing feet problems can easily affect your health as a whole? The answer of course is not, especially now that you can easily find footwear that’s two-in-one, stylish and comfortable, like the various types of ladies boots.

Though it’s not uncommon to associate this specific footwear with winterwear, now that winter is almost leaving us it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to wear your favourite boots throughout upcoming seasons too, including summer.

The Benefits of Boots

First and foremost, starting with the obvious, this is the kind of option that provides warmth and protection from the weather elements, as there’s full coverage. As mentioned, this isn’t to say just because they keep cold away they can’t be worn in the warm days of the year, on the contrary they make great additions to your spring, summer and autumn outfits too!

In other words, buy a pair of ladies boots and you get yourself the year-round footwear. For example, wearing them with dresses is an absolute trend given that there are all kinds of dresses to be combined with the different types of boots; long dresses go well with ankle boots to add some colour and texture to the outfit, whereas shorter dresses could be mixed with high boots and even accessorised with socks or legwarmers for a warm touch in the rainy days.

Likewise, speaking of outfits specifically, they’re ideal for any time of the day you need them for, it can be work, casual stroll through the malls, date nights, formal events and parties, depending on the particular model you choose, that is as well as how simple or chic of a look you’re after, and they go well with small and large handbags alike, plus all sorts of accessories.

Let’s not forget there’s the convenience of availability, as you don’t have to look further than online shops to be able to find a suitable pair. Then again, there’s the variety of options too that’s to be appreciated, allowing you to choose from the versatile brands, designs, styles, plus colours, and best of all is the variety in prices in addition, something I’m sure most women like to know (giggles).

Certainly, all of this makes for an ideal purchase but I’m especially pleased about specific features that indicate how comfortable and protecting a pair of boots can be. When I say this I refer to the material of both the external and internal parts, whether there are custom orthotics provided by the removable insoles, slip resistance offered by the sole, and in case of heels stability.

Properties such as water-resistance and breathability aren’t to be underestimated either since they contribute to the comfort. For instance, leather boots are perfect for protection from water as well as humidity inside and it’s exactly this that makes feet stay warm and dry, preventing odour and issues as is the case with fungal infections of the feet and toenails
For people like me wearing shoes most of the day it’s important to buy a pair of ladies boots that’s going to help ease fatigue, meaning opt for a lightweight design provided by PU sole that’s also great for keeping the joints safe due to the shock absorption.

Making the Decision

When you’re a shoe hoarder, it’s difficult to ignore the urge to buy shoes mostly for their looks, but having your foot health in mind and wanting to avoid pain as well as long-term issues it’s best to learn the lesson and let comfort lead the way in the purchase.
