How long can you wear rubber boots during the day? 0 15

Rubber boots are not designed for prolonged wear – a maximum of 2-3 hours without a break, notes podiatrist Tamara KRAVCHENKO.

Rubber does not allow air to pass through, so feet in such boots quickly sweat, which can lead to the development of fungal infections and other unpleasant foot issues. It is optimal to wear such footwear at air temperatures from zero to +15°C.

If you wear rubber shoes to work every day and then change into other shoes or put rubber boots on your child for a short walk – this is not considered constant wear. The feet have time to air out, and the shoes can dry before the next use.
