Fashion Models 2020-2021
The model lines of boots are no less surprising than the variety of models of any other shoes or clothes. Models can differ from each other not only in style and variety, but also in the presence of some small details.
Such details may be some metal elements. A shiny heel adorns the shoes, and a metal toe is not only part of the decor, but also protects the front of the shoe from quick wear.
A distinctive feature of the chopper boots is the cowboy style. A slightly raised rounded toe, a square low heel, metal decorative elements, the height of the shaft to the middle of the calf and the absence of lightning are the main features of this model.
The manufacturers of popular sneakers did not stop at one model of sneakers and created stunning sports-style boots. The model has a high shaft and a hidden platform, a fairly dense rubberized sole and a warm fur lining.
There are a number of light models, from thin leather or suede, knitted and openwork models are also light, summer options. These models include velvet boots.
Lightweight boots also include open-toed models. Gladiator's boots look like sandals with numerous straps to the middle of the calf or even to the knee. A distinctive feature may be a clasp. The most common is lightning, which is located on the side, on the inside of the leg. Some models may have zippers on the outside as well as on the back. There are boots without zippers that are pulled on the leg like stockings, as well as laced models.
An important role is played by the thickness of the sole. For example, a thick sole adds a couple of centimeters to growth, a wedge heel helps to lengthen the leg slightly, and a hidden platform, combined with a heel, makes the product more feminine and luxurious. The sole of some models is equipped with spikes that protect the shoes from slipping during rainy weather and ice.
Among the rubber boots, there is one rather unusual model that surprises others with its appearance. Transparent boots! Although they perform the same functions as ordinary boots, not every girl will risk putting on such a model.
Material
The boots are made of different materials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Having become acquainted with each of the options in more detail, the choice becomes much easier, so we made a detailed description of the most popular ones.
The most popular trend - velvet boots, unfortunately, is practically useless in everyday life. The fact is that velvet is a rather not practical material, albeit very beautiful. Dirt and dust quickly stick to such boots, and the product loses its original appearance. The velvet model, however, is quite suitable for infrequent solemn publication, for example, for trips to a restaurant or theater.
Velor is somewhat similar to velvet, it is something between velvet and suede, so its practicality is several times more than the previous version. Among the minuses, it can only be noted that scuffs appear on velor boots much faster. The same can be attributed to nubuck boots.
By the way, speaking of suede, one cannot but note its wonderful properties and high functionality. Suede boots are more wear-resistant and retain heat well, therefore they are most common during severe frosts.
Along with suede boots, leather boots are also popular; they are always in great demand. The skin is more durable, better care and less dirty.
But, if it is not possible to purchase shoes made of genuine leather, you have to be content with artificial, which can very often cause allergic reactions. That is why a special eco-leather was developed, which in terms of durability and functionality is not inferior to natural, but not a bit harmful to human health.
The so-called rubber boots are actually made of rubber material that does not crack on the fold lines, can be crushed, returning to its original shape, and also does not let moisture in and, in combination with a woolen toe, retains heat.
How to care for boots made of this or that material?
The rules for caring for each individual material have their own characteristics, because what is suitable for some may not be suitable for another.
For example, a brush that can be used to clean suede or even skin is completely unsuitable for delicate velvet and velor - the first exposure will leave traces that spoil the appearance of the product.
Moreover, the impregnation is not suitable for velvet, because the material immediately absorbs everything, and traces and spots can form. But impregnating agents and sprays are good for velor boots, leather, suede and nubuck models, since they perfectly protect them from moisture and dirt, without leaving spots.
To easily cleanse the skin from impurities, you can use the elementary thing - shoe sponges soaked in a special tool. The sponge can be colorless or colored, which should be selected based on the color of the shoe.
As for rubber boots, everything is simple - just rinse the product under water or wipe it with a damp cloth. On rubber rubber boots there are no stains and traces, therefore they are the most practical.
Difficulty can only corrugated sole, which clogged with dirt and sand. In this case, you should use a brush that will help get rid of dirt.
Color and print
In the world of modern fashion, although traditional, classic colors are welcomed, which have not lost their popularity for several seasons, nevertheless, bright and non-standard shades have recently taken leading positions.
For example, pink boots are the hit of the season, helping to create the most incredible and pompous images. These can be models made of leather, suede or stylish rubber boots. The main thing is not to overdo it and pick up the remaining details in a more restrained, classic style.
Boots of gentle, bed shades look beautiful. Such as creamy, wheat, cream, lemon-cream, flaxseed. With boots of such shades, you can create the most delicate and incredibly feminine images.
To create a brighter and more daring outfit, shades of burgundy are perfect. Wine, the color of ripe cherries, the color of Marsala and a juicy cherry shade, combined with dark things, will become an integral part of the image and its best decoration.
Unusually, but no less beautiful, boots of plum, purple, lilac colors and various multifaceted shades look. The eggplant color will help to emphasize the slender legs and give the image of mystery, and violet-colored boots can become a bright detail.
Decor
Decorative elements on boots are no longer a new, frequently encountered trend. Any decorated item looks elegant, and if it comes to shoes, it’s also unusual. Not all manufacturers comply with the measure in decorating their products, and it often happens that the boots look awkward, untidy or even completely tasteless.Therefore, you should adhere to the recommendations, which will now be discussed.
Rhinestones. The most common and most budget decoration of a thing that requires special attention! Remember the simple rules, following which you will always look stylish.
- There should not be too many strasses.
- Rhinestones should be in harmony with the color scheme of the product and its style.
- Rhinestones should be properly attached.
Ignoring these rules, you risk looking cheap and untidy.
Very often black, gray and dark brown boots are decorated with a massive chain. Such decor, although it gives the shoes a slightly more informal look, but, nevertheless, does not prevent such boots from harmoniously blending with classic things.
Fringe is a fairly common decoration element that is used to decorate boots. Usually a fringe is made from the same material as the boot itself. The most common are leather and suede.

How to choose?
It is sometimes difficult to choose boots, because many models are of the same type, and the parameters of the figure, including the legs of all the girls are different. Not only size differs, but also take-off, girth in the ankle and in the calf muscle.
In addition, there are often such brands that, in pursuit of the external attractiveness of shoes, completely forget about such an important factor as its convenience. Therefore, most often such products are incredibly beautiful and fashionable, but completely unsuitable for long walks. Therefore, the choice of boots should be approached with special attention, given all the details.
It is much easier to choose boots for a thin middle-sized leg, because such boots are more common. In addition, the bootleg will come together on a thin leg without any difficulty, will not press, and cause discomfort.
Girls with a full foot will have much more difficulty, since only a small fraction of all models of boots fit in full foot. Wide-legged boots are just the thing, as well as a mid-calf model.
Girls with large foot sizes will also have to be tight, because the lineups of far from all manufacturers include large boots, for example, from 42 or more. But there is always a way out! You can go to the workshop that makes shoes to order, or you can more carefully examine the dimensional grids of various brands.
In addition, you should walk in boots in order to make sure the comfort of the shoe pads. The leg should feel comfortable, even if the shoes are high-heeled. In case of any problems associated with the health of the feet, you should acquire specialized insoles with orthopedic arch support.
What to wear?
Since winter boots are the most common, it is often necessary to make fashionable combinations with insulated outerwear. So, a pair of shoes with a flat sole or in a sports style will suit the down jacket, while the coat will look great with the option on the heel, and both models can fit the fur coat.
Demi-season boots look great with light raincoats and jackets - be it a stylish leather jacket or a classic quilted model of membrane material. To choose a model of boots is necessary in accordance with the style of outerwear.
High-heeled boots are good because they are perfect for skirts. Choosing a model to the knee in high, but steady heels, you can safely wear a dress or skirt of different lengths. In some cases, flat boots may also work.
Pants are also great, but their style should be considered. If you are accustomed to tucking trousers into boots, you should choose a tight-fitting model, otherwise it is better to opt for straight, wide or flared trousers that are easily worn over shoes.
Lightweight boots, for example, decorative knitted models, will go well with denim shorts. A brown cowboy-style boot is also a good choice. For classic shorts, you can choose stylish over the knee boots or a heeled knee-length model.
