Refined ankle boots, sexy stocking boots and simply gentle women's boots, despite their constant and unconditional relevance, continue to lose ground. Instead of flying lightness and classics, underground heavy boots now come. By the way, it doesn’t look so bulky on fragile female legs, as it might seem.
So, let's start a more detailed examination of such a new fashionable (and, sometimes, old forgotten) trend as women's boots with thick soles.
What is the name of?
Massive boots moved to the women's wardrobe from the men's military arsenal. Bertsa is a classic prototype of almost all women's shoes with thick (sometimes also tractor) soles.
Among others, the following items stand out:
- Creepers, Creepers or Flatforms. Shoes on a flat and slightly thickened platform. Flatforms got their name due to the combination of two words: “flat” (in translation from English - flat) and “platform” (in which the first half of the word was replaced). Creepers, on the other hand, are British military shoes on a flat platform that allowed them to move silently.
- Oxfords on the platform. Oxfords are classic closed shoes with lacing, to which “unformatted” tractor soles are “stuck”, turning them into a modern fashionable trend.
- Creepers-Chelsea. Acquaintance with the first part of the term has already taken place. But the word Chelsea is originally men's shoes to the ankle with elastic bands on the sides.
- Sneakers. Classic sneakers or sneakers with rubber soles, but also with a thickening.
The tractor sole is unique in its anti-slip properties, which is very convenient for Russian winters and icy conditions.
Models
It is only among the military that uniform uniform boots (berets) are accepted that are the same for everyone. For modern women of fashion, there is a huge variety of models of boots with thick soles. And they are divided into groups according to the following characteristics.
Platform
It can be of almost any height, shape and even the material from which it is made. The most popular today are patent leather shoes on the platform.
Basically, these are ankle boots, oxfords, mounted in their classic design on a massive tractor sole. Sneakers with a hidden platform have long been used by avid fashionistas as a stylish addition to their wardrobes.
The transparent platform, creating the impression of a woman constantly floating in the air, like a ballerina on pointe shoes, is also designed to attract attention and arouse delighted whispers.
One of the most elegant and classic options for a rough platform is a wedge. An ideal compromise for those who like to wear a high heel and have constant stability, because the wedge heels look just like a heel at the back.
Season
Yes, this characteristic also has its effect both on the appearance and on the internal component of this type of shoe. The massiveness and peculiar aggressiveness of the tractor sole looks quite harmoniously and combines with winter clothes, without going beyond the understanding and attention of others.
At the same time, women's shoes of this type can be either fully winter, with internal or even external fur trim, or simply insulated. At the same time, even in the second case, they will be quite comfortable in any weather, because a thick platform by itself prevents contact with chilled ground.
In view of the Russian springs, I would very much like that women's boots with thick soles were also waterproof. And such models really exist, equipped with all kinds of lacing, thick high heels, an incredibly high platform.
Shaft Height
Cropped boots with tractor soles are an ideal option in the wardrobe of modern fashionistas, because everyone knows that today, the shorter the pants / jeans, the better. And when between the boots and trousers a thin strip of low, but bright, socks (selected, in accordance with the image) slips, this is considered the peak of perfection.
Of course, in addition to these main points, it is worth paying attention to the material from which women's shoes with thick soles are mainly made.
Material
It all depends on what kind of shoes you want to see on yourself. If we are talking about shoes that are closest to the classics, for example, oxfords, then patent leather and leather shoes are appropriate. But the image must be supplemented with various clasps, laces, possibly metal trinkets.
Turning to semi-male chelsea boots, you can give preference to shoes made of suede. Well, and - elastic bands on the sides, under the ankles - this is the law.
For sneakers, everything is quite banal and simple: leatherette, textiles, mesh. It is hardly possible to meet sneakers on a platform somewhere and even varnished ... Although, modern designers do not cease to amaze with their flight of imagination.
Of course, with the release of boots on tractor soles to the world's fashion podium, the variety of materials and textures for them is becoming more extensive. So, in stores you can increasingly find women's shoes of this format, made in eco-leather, nubuck and textured leather. But these will never be simple shoes: they should always be decorated with drawings, all kinds of holes, punctures and spikes, hung with chains and buckles.
Color
Since for a long time no one pays much attention to the combination of colors in clothes, shoes and accessories, here, too, specifics do not play a special role. However, overdoing it is not worth it. Now there is a huge variety of color palette among the models of women's shoes on a tractor sole: from black and white to impossibly pink and even ultra-orange.
Of course, it is best to choose a gamut of shoes for the style and color of clothes or accessories, but no one will forbid you to wear green sneakers with a white mini if your tights, knee socks or socks have the same expressive and bright shade.
What to wear?
Given the fact that boots with thick soles combine at least two styles (casual and romantic), picking up certain clothes for them is not difficult.
Pants
Trousers of absolutely any cut fit this shoe. Even wide eastern bloomers. Skinny cropped or cropped jeans are considered ideal.
Shorts
There are also a great many options, even autumn-spring and winter. It is very important to consider the color and texture of tights worn under shorts.
Skirts
When combining women's shoes with thick soles with skirts, one should not only adhere to one's own preferences in length, material and model. Particular attention should be paid to the proportions and proportions of the length of the skirt, the height of the shoes and the "quality" of your legs. Here, as in the situation with shorts, a variety of tights, knee-high socks and leggings are very cool for a clear mini.
Dresses
Almost a classic American 90s. The more romantic the dress, the more underground shoes should be. Of course, now all this is considered to be nothing more than history, but you will always be able to stay in trend with “berets” shoes under a romantic girl’s dress.
As in everything, the most important commandment when choosing and wearing women's shoes with thick soles sounds like: Do not overdo it. Indeed, sometimes, in pursuit of fashionable and vibrant images, fashionistas forget about individuality, style and measure.
Stylish looks
Restrained, balanced, one might even say, with a touch of classics, an image that will not leave indifferent romantic natures. Despite the light pastel, the combination of the image itself was created as if in contrasts: narrow trousers and a massive tractor sole; long shirt + jacket and cropped sweater. Such an image looks very dignified and can be a great first step to global fashion trends.
A high heel, a high platform, an open toe, lacing and buckles are almost all the most fashionable elements of the current season in one pair of shoes. These boots (with a slightly oversized bootleg, slightly overlapping the ankle) are perfect for a non-hot summer day with thin cropped jeans and leather jackets. A stylish image of an urban little thing.
Chanel is always luxurious, elegant and sophisticated. Even thick-soled oxfords are designed in such a way that only a princess can wear them, in combination with a cute romantic dress of medium length.
Bright, stylish, trendy. The three most important words about this image that express the whole gamut of feelings and emotions. A red elongated jacket and red suede wedge shoes - it looks original, but not shocking. Slightly black socks add to the image of romance and everyday life.
