Tractor-soled booties

Tractor-soled booties

Ankle boots are usually called a shoe model that fits the ankles, but does not cover the calf. Most often these are demi-season shoes. Although today they produce models of ankle boots for the winter season, and even summer ankle boots.

The word ankle boots is borrowed from the French language. 'Botillions' literally translates as short boots.

A massive high sole with a pronounced relief is called a tractor. Its height can be up to 10 cm. Today, such a sole is a trend. It is presented both in fashion design collections and in mass-market stores. Boots, boots, loafers, and even shoes and sandals have a rough tractor sole this season. This fashion trend has not bypassed ankle boots.

Tractor outsole was popular in the 70s and 90s of the twentieth century. And she returned to fashion last year.

Features

Shoes on tractor soles, despite the apparent cumbersomeness, are comfortable, unknown and practical. The modern sole 'tractor' is made of polyurethane foam. This material is very lightweight and provides excellent cushioning. And genuine leather or suede upper allows the legs to breathe and keeps them warm.

These ankle boots are suitable for girls with different types of figures. Shoes with tractor soles will give women with magnificent forms additional centimeters of growth and balance the silhouette. Only girls of very fragile physique should choose ankle boots with tractor soles with caution - we recommend giving preference to less massive models.

Models

Models of ankle boots are distinguished by the principle of donning:

  • on the lacing. This season we can see non-standard lacing options - the laces do not just tie, but also pre-deceive them several times around the shaft.
  • with gum inserts like chelsea boots or slip-ons. Designers usually use large inserts. They are also a decorative element.
  • with a zipper. For ankle boots on tractor soles, a coarse metallized zipper is often chosen to maintain the right balance of proportions.

Another criterion for the difference in ankle boot models is the shape of the tractor sole. On the catwalks we can see ankle boots

  • on a very high thick heel;
  • on a low heel formed by a notch in the sole itself;
  • flat, on the platform.

Fashion trends 2017

Today, trending models are suede and patent leather, velor and classic leather. When creating suede models, designers use deep complex colors - bottle green, burgundy, dark purple.

This spring, leather ankle boots have both classic black and brown colors, and pastel colors - peach, pink, cornflower blue.

Tractor-soled ankle boots feature a wide variety of décor. This season, at the peak of popularity, massive belts with metal buckles. Ankle boots with contrasting color elements do not go out of fashion either. Designers create contrast using white laces, a white sole or white stitching in the decor of black shoes.

Summer models of ankle boots have a white tractor sole, regardless of the color of the upper part. Thus, designers increase the emphasis on ankle boots, attract additional attention to them, and also facilitate their appearance. Cutouts and curly cuts are used as a decor for summer models.

Also in the spring, the trend of metallized leather will remain popular, and ankle boots completely covered with sparkling rhinestones.

Reviews

Judging by the reviews of customers, it can be noted that ankle boots with tractor soles are distinguished by convenience, lightness, and durability. They allow you to keep your feet dry in the autumn-spring season. Durable and resistant sole does not allow dirt and water to get on the leather elements of shoes, which, of course, allows ankle boots on tractor soles to retain their original appearance for longer with minimal care.

They help increase growth and stretch the silhouette and, unlike ankle boots with thin heels or stiletto heels, do not create a serious load on the legs. In them you can go for a walk in the park, and for long shopping with friends.

Of the minuses, customers note that this shoe is rather rough, and it is difficult for them to organically fit it into their wardrobe.

What to wear?

You doubt how beautiful and stylish it is to combine tractor-soled ankle boots? Here are a few combinations for all occasions.

  • Black ankle boots with a black skirt to the middle of the knee and transparent tights will make it possible to focus on rough shoes.
  • Ankle boots on a high tractor platform in combination with black jeans or skinny pants will lengthen your legs and stretch your silhouette.
  • Black suede ankle boots combined with long black golfs or tight black tights and a mini skirt will also help stretch your silhouette. The image will be youthful, sexy and daring.
  • Tractor-soled boots with high heels in milk or white are perfect to balance pastel shades. Their combination with light outerwear tone-on-tone and dark trousers looks especially successful.
  • Massive light ankle boots elegantly and organically fit into a monochrome spring set in white.
  • Pastel color ankle boots blend perfectly with delicate spring dresses. Both laconic shirt dresses and flying chiffon dresses with an emphasis on the waist are suitable.
  • A classic combination of tough ankle boots with blue jeans and a cropped leather jacket will make your everyday look ultra trendy.
  • Black patent leather ankle boots with contrasting white soles complement the bold grunge look. When combined with a pleated midi skirt, they will create an informal look.
  • Rough ankle boots with lacing in combination with a long knitted dress to the floor or with a knitted dress just above the ankle emphasize the tenderness of the dress and its hostess. It will turn out creatively, stylishly and feminine.

Ankle boots with contrasting socks or tone-on-tone look cute for girls. This technique can be used both in combination with skinny jeans and skirts and dresses. For girls in Russia, this combination is still considered controversial and bordered on bad taste, but fashionistas from Europe and Asia have long made socks with ankle boots part of street fashion. You should be careful with this trend - long socks can visually shorten your legs, and voluminous socks, closing your ankle, can make your legs visually fuller than they really are.
