Step into summer
The season of vacations, long warm evenings, camping, hanging out with family and friends and other fun is fast approaching. However, even in summer there are still lot of things to do, and especially for the outdoor work, long sunny days are ideal. What is not so ideal is the effect of high temperatures and spending long time outside on your feet. Not only work, but also long walks and trips strain the feet, and in the heat they may sweat excessively.Wet soaked socks increase the risk of blisters, athlete’s foot and, of course, unpleasant odors.
In this mini-series, we will tell you how to protect your feet in the summer so that you can fully enjoy this period without compromise. In the first part, we will look at how to choose suitable footwear for hot days, and we will give you some tips for shoes from our portfolio.
Breathability is key
Breathability is key
Those who can choose as minimalistic footwear as possible: flip-flops, slippers, or strappy shoes. However, such shoes do not protect your feet from dirt, sharp stones, or splinters, and you should definitely not drive in them. So, for greater safety, you always need shoes with a firm heel counter. If the shoes are breathable enough, your feet will remain dry and comfortable even on hot days. And how do you know that the shoes breathe? The upper is made of either leather or polyester mesh. Breathability is also supported by the lining, which wicks away sweat faster or dries faster. Among the occupational shoes, you can also find sturdy sandals with a fixed toe and heel counter that protect the toes, but the upper is equipped with ventilation.

Anyone who spends all day on their feet knows how easily the feet get tired and sore. This can be prevented by high-quality footwear with a flexible sole made of dual-density polyurethane. For comfortable all-day wear, it is essential to choose shoes with a cushioned heel. It absorbs shocks which keep your feet, legs, joints and back safe from hurt. For greater comfort, you can use orthopedically shaped insoles.
