Women's shoes with spikes

It is widely known that shoes are the most common type of shoes today. They are an integral part of the wardrobe of a modern person, in particular, a city dweller. All this is explained by the fact that over its long history of more than six thousand years, this shoe has gone through countless modifications and transformations in terms of its purpose and various modifications.

Now there is a wide range of shoe models for any season and any weather conditions, as well as the application environment, which can be combined in one word - boots.

A fairly broad classification is adopted both by season and by field of application.

For instance:

• for climbers;
• sports;
• spring, autumn or winter.

There is a fairly widespread belief that shoes are not only a necessity, but also an important component of the image. This rule has been successfully observed by both men and women.

Not only fashionistas, but also fashion designers take care of how important every detail is in it. After all, they know very well that from time immemorial women of fashion have really wanted to stand out, it is important for designers to take this challenge and develop something very interesting. For this it is important to draw inspiration not only in the present, but also in the past, thus giving new life to seemingly long-forgotten trends.

It is easy to imagine how diverse the female models of boots are. The model ranges of boots are constantly replenished, regardless of the season and purpose. Despite the fact that it would seem almost impossible to come up with a new one here, there is always a place for a miracle - in this case in the form of unusual and even sensational models.

Spikes have established themselves in the fashion arena as an element in the design of clothes and shoes for a long time. The fashion for them came from the "era of eclecticism" - the distant 70s of the last century, when many directions of culture were born. Spikes, rivets and other metal details adorned the leather jackets and trousers of musicians from bands such as Kiss and Black Sabbath, as well as the clothes of their many fans.

We can assume that, along with chains and rivets, spikes became popular thanks to the punk culture that originated in the late 70s and became famous thanks to such groups as Sex Pistols and The Clash. The spikes decorated literally everything - leather jackets, jeans and, of course, laced boots with spikes on the platform.

Spikes were used not so much for beauty, but for the purpose of giving some boldness and positive aggression to the image, drawing a direct parallel with the features of the musical genre.

One of the first who dared to mix many different styles in their appearance and thereby give the aforementioned styles a new life is the world famous singer Lady Gaga.

Spikes appeared literally on all her clothes, both stage and everyday on all items of her image - from accessories and shoes to underwear. This image can be considered in detail in her video clip “Telephone” (2009).

Women's shoes with spikes are presented in many variations.

Spikes adorn literally everything - a toe, a heel, a sole, and a boot.

They can even occupy the entire surface of the boot! Shoes with spikes are available from all possible options and any color, giving the buyer great opportunities for self-realization.

Recently, a significant step forward was made, and the thorns, in addition to the means of decoration, have become an almost indispensable element of protection during frosts.

Of particular interest are winter boots with spikes on the soles.

Spikes are located on the entire surface of the sole of the boot, including the heel region, thereby preventing its owner from cases of slipping and falling on ice, being an indispensable option for residents of the northern regions.

Spikes can be hidden as soon as the need disappears, thereby making the shoes universal and suitable for different weather conditions. If desired, they can be worn even at home!

Spikes acquire a new feature - this time, frost protection.

For a long time, shoe developers have been solving the problem of soles suitable for winter conditions. One of the most common options for winter soles is a rubber sole. (as, for example, Dr. Martens or Grinders). However, it has a number of drawbacks, the main one of which is sliding on ice. Many giants of the shoe industry adhered to alternative options for the sole - Ecco, Camel, Vibram, Timberland, Rieker and others. This problem is designed to solve a number of manufacturers of the new model, including Meindl, Gripforce and others.

The innovative model was the Meindl studded boots. They are “controlled” by a special key located at the back of the boot and alert six spikes on the sole. The spikes are made of a superdense alloy, twice as hard as steel, and the shoes themselves are made of sheepskin.

Even more interesting, but still promising, is the model developed by Gripforce. Here, the spike control system is already in the inside of the boot. In the future, the appearance of not one model of boots, but a whole line of winter boots with retractable spikes for both lovers of simple and practical shoes, and extremely intricate models.

Obviously, shoes with retractable spikes will revolutionize the shoe market.

Spikes are returning in a completely new role: now with their help you can not only make an exciting journey into the past, feel like a rock star, stand out from the crowd, but also protect yourself from frost and ice. And if desired - both of them, it all depends on the desires of the buyer and the chosen model.

All this proves the constant development of the fashion industry, keeping up to date and meeting the requirements of modern customers.
