Guide to choosing footwear based on activity
For daily use and sports activities, sneakers are the undisputed option. Look for models with a flexible EVA foam sole, which absorbs the impact with the asphalt, and a textile mesh exterior to ensure excellent ventilation of the foot, preventing sweating during long hours of wear.
When temperatures drop or you venture onto rough terrain, boots become essential. A quality pair of boots must offer firm ankle support (to prevent sprains) and have a deeply profiled rubber sole (for a secure grip on mud or snow). For winter, check for the presence of a thermal inner lining to maintain optimal warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boots and Sneakers
How do I choose the correct shoe size when ordering online?
To avoid surprises, measure your foot length (from the heel to the tip of your longest toe) at the end of the day when the foot is slightly swollen. Compare the size in centimeters with the Size Guide on the website. For winter boots or running shoes, it is recommended to leave a margin of about 0.5 - 1 cm to allow wearing a thicker sock or foot expansion during exertion.
Can I wash my sneakers in the washing machine?
Textile mesh or canvas sneakers can generally be machine washed at a low temperature (max 30°C), using a short program and without strong spinning. Put them in a special protective wash bag. However, boots made of genuine leather, suede, or those with waterproof membranes (like Gore-Tex) must never be machine washed, as they will permanently deform. Clean them only manually, with special brushes and solutions.
How do I extend the life of synthetic or genuine leather boots?
To prevent the material from cracking, wipe the mud and salt off the boots immediately after wearing them using a damp cloth. After they dry (at room temperature, away from the radiator!), apply a moisturizing shoe cream or a waterproofing spray. Using wooden or plastic shoe trees inside the boots when you are not wearing them will help maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture.
