防寒且止滑的冬天專用鞋 / Shoes in winter

11月上旬到中旬的時期是可以在札幌市觀測到初雪的時期。這個時期的雪多半在溫暖的白天就會融化。也常常會有融化的雪變成冰的情況。道路上因為結了一層薄薄的冰所以十分的滑。穿著休閑鞋的話容易滑倒也很容易弄濕所以不適合。北海道居民大多穿著防寒且止滑的冬天專用鞋。

In Sapporo, the beginning to the middle of November is the season when we get the first snow. As the temperature during daytime is usually above zero, the snow melts easily, but freezes at night as the temperature falls below 0 degrees. These conditions are seen frequently in November. The surface of roads is covered with thin ice like a skating rink, which is very slippery for pedestrians and cars. Local Hokkaido people have winter shoes like thick boots which typically have rubber grooves on the soles and are like thick boots. Running shoes are not good.
