Ankle boots are one of the most unexpected, but highly demanded accessories in every woman’s wardrobe. This type of shoe, according to one of the versions popular in the world of fashion, was invented by the Frenchman Roger Vivier.

Spreading gradually in the narrow circles of England, these shoes began to conquer the hearts of fashionistas around the world.
Suddenly flaring up, their biography quickly ended to be reborn almost from the ashes in the world collections of designers of the twenty-first century.
