Waterproof shoes are essential for outdoor activities to protect legs from the water. When I buy waterproof shoes, I could find many manufacturing brands available In the market. Among them, I had to choose the right waterproof shoes using these 04 tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When choosing a waterproof shoe, I considered its breathability, waterproofness, waterproof limitations, durability, brand, terrains, price, coatings, and minimum requirements of availability. These are essential factors when you select the best waterproof shoes for your necessity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I will let you know how you can find these factors and how they affect the waterproofing shoe step by step. And you can learn the importance of these factors before buying a new pair of shoes for your necessity. So let’s keep reading on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Waterproofness is the main factor of these kinds of shoes. Normally water penetrates inside the regularly used shoes due to absorptions. But this is completely different with considering waterproof shoes. Do you think Are waterproofing shoes really waterproof?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional methods such as applying tar, bee wax, animal fat oils<\/strong>, and many more methods are used late 19 century. Those are successful methods considering that period. But not a perfect solution for the problem of water leaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When considering modern technology, we are working with nanotech. Waterproofness stops the water from leaking the water through the layer. Normally waterproofing clothing is with small pores. Those are very small as they can’t move the liquid water molecules. It is about Billions of small pores per 1 in. Sq. Due to this, water molecules is not able to leak through the pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But this is not unlimited. When the water pressure is increased, its ability is reduced. When we consider the shoes, there are stretching and movements. Due to these activities, its porous can be stretched and compressed. Modern technology has given a real solution for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability of the waterproofness is measured with the water column test. This test is carried with 1 inch<\/strong> diameter water column and increased the height of the water by filling it. When the water height is increased, its pressure is high and tries to move through the fabric. (hydrostatic pressure increasing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are fabrics that can hold 28-40<\/strong> m<\/strong> water column pressures. Those are called high waterproof materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTip 01- Waterproofness Should be Compatible With the Using Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n
