With the onset of winter, cold weather and ice, it is very important to protect yourself from falls and, consequently, injuries. This is most important for athletes who are climbing and mountaineering in the winter, as well as for anglers and hunters. In addition, athletic runners often need anti-slip pads.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the shoes for which you want to purchase anti-slip pads. Take a look at a specialized sports store in your city or an online store for the things you need.
Step 2
Examine carefully the pads and the material from which they are made. It is important that the shape matches the shape of your boot. At the same time, it is best for a sports version to choose pads of this type, in which studs are provided. They are usually made of high-strength steel or polyurethane and contribute to the good grip of the boot.
Step 3
Choose a color to match your shoes. If you purchase ice-breaking pads with special chains, then give preference to the natural color of the metal, which will not wear off when walking on ice and snow.
Step 4
Take the pads in your hands and feel their weight. For climbing and other sports, it is best to use anti-slip pads, which are the lightest. They should not weigh down the shoes.
Step 5
Check the size of your boots and check with the seller for the availability of an item in your size. Try on the linings for your shoes, they should be exactly the same size, should not hang or, on the contrary, strongly compress the shoes.
Step 6
Be sure to try on the shoes along with the patch and take a few steps around the store. You should not feel the devices, the leg should easily stand on the toe and bend back.
Step 7
Check the manufacturer. Practice shows that overlays of foreign companies are the most convenient and practical.
