Ice skate towels
Ice shoes (ice shoes, snow shoes, winter shoes, non-slip rubber shoes, etc.) are special shoe accessories made of frost-resistant rubber that prevent slipping on ice. As we know, falling on ice in winter can lead to many serious consequences, from sprains and fractures to spinal injuries.
Anti-slip pads effectively prevent you from falling on the ice and protect your health. Externally, the anti-slip pads consist of a flexible sole that is equipped with spikes (the number of spikes varies depending on the model). The rubber does not lose its properties even at very low temperatures, and the wear-resistant spikes will serve you for many winters. They are also very useful for older people, because with age, bones become more fragile and the risk of serious injury from even a minor impact on the ice increases. Useful for hunters, anglers, hikers, climbers, skiers, snowboarders and other winter sports enthusiasts.
Buy skates in Moscow on Medtehnika Moscow website by shopping through the shopping cart. Delivery in Moscow by courier, in other regions of Russia by mail and EMS express. As usual, you can pick up your item for free. Payment for the order is made upon receipt of the order in cash to the courier or cash on delivery in the case of postal delivery.
Tips for choosing ice skates
Ice skates made in Moscow and St. Petersburg are universal and fit shoe sizes 35-45, other models are divided by size. Please refer to the size chart for each ice skate model.
Falls on ice are a problem that every pedestrian faces in winter. Even if you only have to walk 15-20 meters to a parking lot or a bus stop, you can slip and fall. Falls on ice are associated with injuries of varying degrees of severity: sprains, bruises, dislocations, broken arms and legs, spinal cord injuries, craniocerebral injuries. All musculoskeletal injuries require prolonged treatment.
Ice skates can be worn over any type of footwear - including shoes with heels. Special steel tips ensure stability on ice, while rubber provides a firm grip on slippery surfaces. Icebreakers are undoubtedly a much more effective solution than 'folk remedies' such as sandpaper, superglue, etc.
Another advantage of boot icebreakers is their light weight and the ability to quickly don and don icebreakers when needed.
At Medtekhnika Moscow you can choose the perfect icebreaker model for you. We have both budget models and exclusive models of excellent quality from Sweden and Finland.

What sportswear is best for life?
Running or training shoes are usually a good choice for everyday wear. They are great for walking on the street, be it on the sidewalk or in a gravel park. These models are often more comfortable than casual shoes. They offer the best moisture wicking. Running shoes are different from training shoes.
Differences between running and training shoes:
- greater cushioning and less stable frame;
- greater flexibility (of both the upper and the sole);
- high toe drop;
- High drop – the difference in height between the toes and the heel.
Features of the running shoe.
'Drop' gives the body a slight forward inclination and helps to intelligently distribute the load on the foot, providing additional comfort when walking. And because the running models are extruded, they work just as well on flat ground as they do on cobblestones. The more aggressive the tread, the better these shoes perform on bumpy roads.
Additionally, when purchasing running shoes, many people find that they give in or buckle in the rear (since the maximum cushioning is in the heel area). However, this is not harmful to health. Normally you get used to this feature of a running shoe over time. However, if for some reason this option is out of the question, you can always choose shoes with a firmer sole in the heel area. This stabilizes the foot while running without compromising overall cushioning and comfort.
Features of the training models
Training shoes differ from running shoes in that they offer less cushioning and flexibility. They often have additional cushioning in the sole. These distribute the weight better across the sole - for more stability when lifting weights or other heavy loads. These models provide better traction and are better for walking on flat ground.

Natural shoe felt
Felt is a nonwoven material based on natural wool. Different types of felt are used to make shoes, and the quality of the shoes is determined, among other things, by the stable properties of the material itself - its density and thickness.
Natural shoe felt is purchased by companies that produce felt shoes, slippers, work shoes and specialty shoes. It is a strategic product because felt is used extensively by the military for customized workwear.
Advantages of natural material:
– stores and preserves heat well,
– does not cause allergies,
– is a light material, which is important for shoes,
– good air permeability: the feet breathe and do not accumulate moisture.
Natural shoe felts can be purchased in the DekoFilz online shop. Our shop is always at your service!

Types of shoe soles
Which type of sole is better for winter boots? Manufacturers offer many options, of which the following stand out:
- Polyurethane. A porous, light and durable material. It is characterized by its flexibility and durability, but has low thermal conductivity. Shoes with this sole are suitable for mild winters. In severe cold, we recommend choosing a special frost-resistant PU outsole that retains its elasticity and integrity down to -30°C. This outsole is abrasion-resistant, bend-resistant and comfortable to wear.
- Tunit. This material can be described as an intermediate between thermoplastic and natural leather. It is durable, attractive and resistant to wear and tear. Such soles are waterproof and are often used for model shoes. However, they can only be worn in mild winters with little rainfall because Tunit is non-slip.
- Rubber. A versatile, durable material characterized by wear resistance, flexibility and slip resistance. However, this sole is quite heavy, which means the shoes may not be very comfortable to wear.
- Thermopolyurethane. A dense, very durable material that is slip and abrasion resistant. Manufacturers often use TPU in active winter shoes.
- Thermoplastic elastomer. A flexible, modern material with high performance properties. It is durable, resistant to frost and slipping, as well as strong temperature fluctuations. Today, TPE is most commonly used to make high-quality, beautiful, winter-ready shoes.
Which sole is the right one for winter shoes?
When deciding which sole is best when purchasing winter shoes, it is important to consider the characteristics of the materials and their manufacturing requirements.
PU soles (polyurethane)
These soles are often referred to as microporous, but this is not entirely true. Although the material is porous, the pores are visible, the surface is rough, and the shape of the sole has slightly blurred lines. The advantages of shoes with PU soles are numerous:
- light weight; they are comfortable to wear;
- excellent thermal insulation properties;
- Flexibility and good cushioning properties;
- high wear resistance;
- good cushioning properties that make the shoe comfortable, suitable for walking on uneven paths;
- low costs.
But there are also some disadvantages that should not be ignored:
- The density of the material is low;
- the soles are not very resilient; they lose flexibility as they become thicker;
- the material breaks down at temperatures below -20°C;
- The anti-slip properties of the material are low.
Shoes with PU soles are not suitable for cold, snowy winters. In extreme cold, PU can crack, so choose another option. Such soles are more suitable for late autumn.
TPU soles (thermoplastic polyurethane)
This material, called TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), is ideal for cold weather. It is durable, smooth and retains heat well. These soles are typically thin, well-shaped, and have a distinct tread on the surface to prevent slipping.
The advantages of this material include:
- high abrasion resistance;
- resilience, high density;
- attractive appearance;
- good grip on slippery surfaces.
Soles: basic types and brief information
Until the 1930s, the sole was the most expensive part of the shoe and was made exclusively from leather. So let's start with this material.
leather sole
This is the most conservative, historically traditional part of a shoe. Leather is used for elite brand shoes. Aside from their status, leather soles have other advantages:
- High abrasion resistance: Shoes with leather soles are ideal for indoor use. Stones, sand and even smooth asphalt can quickly thin and tear the sole;
- Moisture resistance. Leather does not repel water well, which leads to deformation of the sole and the formation of mold;
- No good grip on the floor, risk of injury. The leather itself is quite slippery. In addition, the sole is formed from pieces of leather glued together, which can then peel off and make walking difficult;
- high costs. The way the sole is made from several layers of leather makes such shoes an exclusive, overpriced product.
Crepe sole
In this case, crepe is not the familiar material, but a durable raw material that is obtained by processing natural rubber.
This is one of the classic sole types found on desserts, Chelsea and brogues. Due to its fine-pored texture, this sole is sometimes referred to as 'soapy'.
- The color of the crepe sole is bright yellow, so it quickly absorbs dirt and is difficult to clean;
- Sensitive to chemicals: For example, if you step into a puddle of solvent, the sole can be destroyed;
- Crepe does not tolerate high temperatures or hot asphalt.
Outsole Thickness – Options and Role
The thicker the sole, the more informal it is considered.
The height of the sole depends on the material, type and purpose of the shoe.
Let's just say that classic shoes, business shoes and weekend shoes cannot have coarse soles.
Thick soles are acceptable only in informal cases, to create a casual image, in special shoes and sports shoes.
Even in winter, shoes with a medium sole are suitable for the office, business meetings and formal meetings.
For young people, shoes with hard soles and deep treads are considered fashionable. White and black tractor soles in particular are offered by many fashion designers, from Stella McCartney to Kenzo Takada to Miuccia Prada.
The best all-round shoe adhesives
Depending on the type of footwear and therefore the intended use, adhesives can be universal or narrow in scope. The universal variants are the most popular because they are easy to use, suitable for a variety of surfaces and have good effectiveness. However, high seam elasticity should not be expected. The best all-purpose shoe glues were rated based on demand, feedback from crafters and buyers, performance and value for money.
Secunda
One of the most popular adhesives on the domestic market – Secunda based on polyurethane. It perfectly bonds a variety of materials, such as leather, suede, polyurethane, textiles and rubber. It is often used for metal, wood and plastic. Masters choose it for its resistance to aggressive chemical attacks from salts, fats, moisture and moderate acids. Accordingly, the shoes can be worn after repair without worrying about different weather conditions. The small pack contains a gel-like, transparent consistency.
- Easy to apply;
- Fast results;
- Transparent consistency;
- Affordable price;
- Suitable for everyone, including shoe models;
- Longevity.
Buyers appreciate this product for its affordability, cheap price tag, quick results and durability. However, it should be borne in mind that it dries out quickly after opening, so its consumption is not necessarily economical. The disadvantages also include a pungent smell. A compensation for these disadvantages is the small tube, which empties quickly.
SuperMent
This super glue for shoes in a black and yellow tube is a master in the category of universal super glue. The active ingredient in the composition is ethyl cyanoacrylate. Not only any shoe material, but also ceramics, plastic, glass, metal, etc. can be firmly bonded in a very short time. The transparent consistency shows good resistance to moisture and heat (-40 to +70 degrees). At the end of the repair work you will receive a flexible connection. The instructions describe exactly how to work with it. Shoes can be safely put on 1 minute after application. The shelf life is up to 18 months.
Best Polyurethane Shoe Adhesives
Another popular category is polyurethane adhesives, which have long become known as very durable means of processing porous materials. This means they can be used to repair shoes made of rubber, polyurethane and similar materials. They are also in demand in professional environments. The downside is that the products are difficult to wash off, so you have to be extremely careful when working with them. In the rating, they are named with the best properties and the reviews from craftsmen and users are confirmed.
Desmocol
The national manufacturer offers such a high-quality and reliable adhesive developed on the basis of polyurethane synthetic resins. Since it is primarily purchased by craft businesses and also factories for industrial purposes, it is delivered in loose tubes. The seams do not crack in the cold and remain moisture resistant. It can swell slightly after application, which is why it is used on porous materials. But it also cuts a fine figure when working with metal, plastic and glass.
- Fast connection;
- Versatility;
- Durability;
- Plasticity;
- Acts like a sealant;
- Cheap price.
Champions classify Demoskol polyurethane glue for shoes into the category of professional means, it is recommended to follow the instructions at home. First, the area under the seam is cleaned and degreased, then a thin layer is applied for 10 minutes. If necessary, the process can be repeated. The shoes do not need to be held tightly to stick, but the disadvantages are the difficulty of removing the residue and the specific smell.
Sar 306
This product has a wide range of uses. It can be used on textiles, natural or artificial leather, rubber, glass, plastic, wood and metal. Sar 306 also works well on PVC, TPE and polyurethane (shoe soles). The large packaging and high quality allow the glue to be used in leather workshops, repair shops and industrial plants.
5 packs of super glue contact
Our top five are the 'KONTAKT' shoe glue packs. With the practical removal form and the 10 tubes in the set, you can repair your wardrobe quickly and efficiently.
The product is supplied in a protective blister pack containing tubes containing 3 grams of adhesive each. The screw cap helps when opening the packaging and protects the consistency. The company logo and an image of a laced sneaker can be seen on the individual packaging.
The composition belongs to the category of single active ingredients. The recipe is based on the properties of ethyl cyanoacrylate. The excipients are thickeners and stabilizers. The strong and flexible adhesive bond is very resistant to organic solvents. This extends the life of the repaired products.
The manufacturer explains that its product glues most available materials in various combinations. There is no pungent smell and curing occurs within a minute!
Customers consider the contact products to be a sensible purchase. However, it should be noted that good adhesion is possible only with a minimum distance between surfaces (up to 1 mm).
4 handles of droplets
In fourth place is a development from Henkel. Droplet adhesive forms a strong bond that can withstand temperature changes, moisture and harsh chemicals. Therefore the shoe can be used in all weather conditions. The product is manufactured by Henkel Rus OOO at its domestic production facilities.
The product comes in a bright orange metallized tube. The name is in lemon colors. The nominal volume is 20 ml.
In this case, a mixture of polychloroprene rubbers, resins, acetone and stabilizing additives is responsible for the perfect bonding of rubber, leather, fabric, felt, cork and their various combinations. The thick consistency has an amber hue.
A plus point is the quick adhesion of the products. Just squeeze them together for a few seconds. However, the full effect is only achieved after 24 hours.
If the surfaces are degreased and well sanded, the Henkel adhesive will hold securely to the joints. Customers were pleasantly surprised by the long-lasting results. The repaired shoes can be worn not only indoors, but also in harsh climatic conditions.
How to glue a shoe sole with your own hands: the cold and hot methods
After choosing a high-quality glue, now it's time to repair the shoes with your own hands. In practice, there are two popular and effective methods for properly gluing shoes.
- Cold method. It is easy to use and does not require any special skills from the master. If the sole tears in half, simply sand the seam, apply adhesive and press the two halves together firmly. It is important to ensure that there are no gaps in the seam. Once you have joined the two parts tightly, allow them to rest under load for at least 10 hours.
- Hot melt technology. How do you glue the pieces together using this method? The manufacturer recommends using glue to repair shoes using this method only in cases where the sole is very hard. Apply the glue to the top of the shoe and leave it for half an hour. The sole is then heated with a blowtorch or hairdryer, pressed against the shaft and held in place for at least half a minute. The shoe can only be worn again after two days.
Both processes enable the parts to have high adhesive strength. The seams are resistant to moisture and frost.
Sports shoe repair: sealing the soles of sneakers
When wearing sports shoes, it is common for the soles, especially sneakers, to crack. Are you wondering how to seal the sole of a sneaker that doesn't seem to offer any help at first glance? Repairing the sole of running shoes with your own hands is not a difficult task, but it must be done correctly. Such shoes have a naturally soft bottom, so they can easily get holes.
To seal a worn shoe, you need to clean the hole well of dirt and debris. Then treat it with a degreaser and only then go to the glue. If the hole is too big, stick a fiberglass mesh first. Then fill the hole with glue and secure it with construction tape to keep the surface perfectly flat.
The subtleties of repairing shoes with holes
To securely seal the sole of the shoe, you need to carefully examine the rubber that covers the bottom of the honeycombs. If it is damaged, it must be removed. All cavities must be cleaned of contamination and filled with sealant and pieces of porous rubber.
Before gluing, always degrease the shoes with a special material-compatible product. Do not neglect this point, otherwise the seam will become unreliable and quickly unravel.
Application
Wearing repaired shoes with your own hands is comfortable and fun. And saving the cost of the cobbler is even better. We hope that the tips in this article helped you understand how to glue sneakers and other shoes together with your own hands so that they last for many years. Before you get started, we recommend watching instructional videos on bonding rubber and other common materials to complete the task.
