Many girls still believe that galoshes are the very shoes that only elderly people in the village wear. But this is not entirely true, because the models of the Soviet sample are now extremely rare. They were replaced by modern design products, which not only protect in bad weather, but can also become a stylish accent in the image.
A bit of history galoshes
Initially, Indian galoshes were made of rubber, so they were short-lived and completely fragile. Some time later, in the nineteenth century, rubber began to vulcanise, which was the beginning of the production of galoshes.
Over time, their popularity began to fade rapidly, but thanks to a new design, bright colors and variety, galoshes became fashionable again. Moreover, now in shoe stores there are a variety of models, so you can easily choose the right option for yourself.
By the way, there are not only rubber products. Increasingly, designers combine simple galoshes with warm material.Therefore, now it is not at all necessary to wear them over shoes, you can simply choose warm models that will protect your feet from any weather.
As for the material for manufacturing, the most frequently used now is not PVC, but EVA. Unlike the first, this material is very light, resistant not only to low, but also to high temperature. Such galoshes are often chosen as work shoes.
But still the newest material for the manufacture of such shoes is considered DU Light. This is foamed rubber, which retains the heat of the feet, is elastic and frost-resistant. In this case, such shoes will be much easier than those options that were made before. Moreover, galoshes of this material will be resistant to slip.
There are models that have an additional insulating liner, which, if desired, can be inserted inside. Stocking can be removable or non-removable, and this in turn affects the cost of the product.
There are also quite expensive, but high-quality models, for the creation of which natural fur is used. These galoshes look very nice and many prefer to use them as casual shoes.
Despite the fact that such shoes are very practical, there is still one drawback. Galoshes should not be worn for a long time, as they do not let the air through. And this adversely affects the condition of the legs. To change this, manufacturers recommend putting on wool socks. Thanks to this, the legs will be very comfortable and warm.
Galoshes 2017: combination rules
The main task of galoshes is to protect feet and shoes from dampness. But few people think about the fact that the salts and reagents used to treat the roads are very harmful for shoes. The sole suffers from this. Especially such an impact harms suede products. Therefore, in order to keep shoes in excellent condition and extend its service life, we recommend to purchase galoshes.
By the way, you can wear them not only in bad weather. For example, to hike in the forest, park or in the mountains - this is an ideal option. In addition, the designers did everything to create the most suitable models for any occasion.
There are even special women's galoshes that can be worn over high-heeled shoes. And thanks to such a wide variety of shades, everyone can choose for themselves the most suitable option.
As for combinations with clothing, there are no particular limitations. Designers suggest wearing galoshes not only with jeans and T-shirts, but also creating more daring kits. A perfect example is a fluffy dress and bright galoshes for a bare foot or on top of elegant shoes. Agree, it looks very unusual. There are also no prohibitions for men, and galoshes can be worn both with summer clothes and with a business suit.
A fairly standard set of classic suits and fashionable shoes is complemented by a bright element in the form of modern galoshes.

Men's galoshes
Galoshes for men are still not so popular shoes.Despite the variety, most often they are chosen to work in the garden, in the country or in the garage. Nevertheless, some men still acquire several models for everyday life in the cold and damp season.
Galoshes for children
Perhaps the most wide variety of models of galoshes manufacturers have developed specifically for children. Different styles, a large selection of colors - all so that the kids want to shoe them. After all, it is very important that their feet are always warm and not wet in the rain.
An additional advantage of this shoe is high wear resistance, which means galoshes will serve more than one season.
