Selection rules
When choosing men's sneakers, it is very important to decide on 4 basic parameters.
- Purpose of Acquisition. Sports running and training models are noticeably different from those that are simply made in a sporty style. When everyday comfort is at the forefront, there is no need to buy specialized footwear for the rugged terrain or gym.
- Seasonality of application. Even the highest quality leather sneakers will feel too hot in the summer. For warm weather, you need to choose models with fabric inserts and improved moisture removal. Antibacterial impregnation will also be useful. For autumn and spring, it is better to choose models with moisture protection.
- Material. Genuine leather is more durable, but modern materials surpass it in many respects. Textiles and knitwear provide the sneaker with maximum lightness. The correct outsole should be composite, layered and flexible.
- Colors. Bright men's sneakers are a must-have for a real athlete. Neon accents and reflectors look good with monochrome tones. For everyday use, a calm, non-marking color is more suitable.
