Seven myths about shoes
«Don't step in a puddle –you'll get wet», «High heels kill your feet», «White shoes are not practical»! In fact, shoe manufacturing technologies have gone so far ahead that all these stereotypes are no longer relevant. We will understand the most common myths together with the experts of the German shoe brand Caprice.
Myth 1. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the size
Does your girlfriend have the same size as you? It is not a fact that the same model will be equally convenient for you. And all because the structure of the foot is individual for each person. In order to choose your ideal pair, pay attention to other parameters. So, in the autumn-winter line of shoes Caprice Comfort the H icon means increased fullness, XL and XS - the size of the boot is above/below the average values.
Myth 2. Comfort and fashion are not compatible
If you think that only shoes a la slippers can be comfortable, then you are deeply mistaken. The feeling of comfort is created by the right shoe, high-quality materials of the upper and sole, a breathable insole. Shoes of the increased comfort class Caprice Comfort proves that fashionable shoes can be afforded by both ladies with curvy shapes and those who prefer an active lifestyle. After all, the designers of Caprice took into account the fashion trends of the new season, including the recommendations of the Pantone Color Institute regarding actual colors.
Myth 3. The best orthopedic shoes
In fact, only shoes that are custom-made are considered orthopedic, everything else is a marketing ploy. Such shoes are needed only in case of diseases and injuries. Otherwise, you will deprive your feet of a natural workout, and they will cease to be flexible. Universal anatomical insoles with climate control are suitable for healthy feet. For example, innovative OnAir Insole insoles not only breathe and retain heat, but also adapt to the features of the foot, reduce the load on the musculoskeletal system.
Myth 4. In icy conditions, no shoes will save you from falling
We don't go to any tricks in winter so as not to fall: we glue a Band-Aid on the sole, sprinkle sand on a layer of glue and even screw in bolts and car spikes. But all these means are unreliable, short-lived and unpresentable. The winter models of Caprice have a high-tech sole with a built-in anti-slip Blue Grip system. Movable and elastic Grip elements of concave shape provide maximum grip on any surface, and a special profile device and special tread materials guarantee resistance to temperature changes and a natural comfortable position of the foot. At the same time, the boots visually look feminine and elegant.
Myth 5. Heels are harmful to health
Do not give up shoes with heels. After all, it gives the figure femininity and helps to visually correct it. Orthopedists believe that only heels above 8 cm are harmful. A completely flat sole is no less dangerous! If you want to avoid flat feet, bulging bones, diseases of the spine and joints, choose the golden mean. The optimal heel height for every day is – 2–3 cm, for special occasions – up to 6–8 cm. Modern technologies allow you to create heels with improved cushioning. So, in the production of boots, ankle boots and shoes Caprice with the OnAir Antishokk system, special rod stabilizers and pneumatic chambers are used, which reduce the shock load when walking by more than half.
Myth 6. The tighter the shoes fit, the better
Shoes should not be butt-to-toe. However, often when fitting, we choose exactly this one, because in it the foot visually seems smaller. But orthopedists categorically do not recommend buying such a pair in the hope that it spreads. Calluses are the most harmless nuisance that can happen. Over time, you will face serious foot deformity and varicose veins. Try to find a middle ground: shoes should not be too loose, but also should not restrict movement and put pressure on the fingers. In order not to make a mistake with the size, try to measure it at the end of the day, when the legs usually swell. And it's best to have free models in your arsenal. For example, buckskin shoes are soft and durable at the same time, they fit the foot nicely and breathe.
Myth 7. White shoes are not for autumn
Forget about it! Modern materials do not absorb dirt and moisture, so your boots will be snow-white for more than one season. So, in dutiki Caprice A special water-repellent TECH membrane is located between the upper material and the lining. When immersed in a puddle, water does not get inside, because they provide additional protection in the form of moisture-proof valves and zippers.
So, now you are armed with knowledge about modern shoe manufacturing technologies, and we hope that no stereotypes will prevent you from making the right choice anymore.
