How to choose the right one?
To eliminate mistakes when choosing, you need to take into account several points that experienced buyers from among athletes and outdoor enthusiasts pay attention to. Main selection criteria:
- Why buy. For example, buying tactical shoes just to go for walks in the park is impractical - you can buy a lightweight model 7-8 times cheaper, and it will last for a long time.
- What are the sneakers. Having decided on the purpose, you can study the collections more closely. If you need walking or casual shoes, you should pay attention to stylish options that will look appropriate on a walk in the park, and on a picnic with friends, or at a summer outdoor party. This will save on the second pair.
- Reviews and description. After choosing a model, you can consult the seller. In branded stores, sellers, as a rule, do not impose a product on the buyer, but offer it, telling about the features. It will not be superfluous to go over the reviews of those who have already purchased such shoes in order to have an idea of what they plan to buy and how it will be worn.
But the main selection criteria are comfort and pleasure. The principle is the same as with the choice of clothing. Appearance, functionality and characteristics should please and meet your expectations. If, putting on sneakers, you do not regret the money spent, then the choice was made correctly.
