Models
It is the shoes that style the feminine outfit. Different models of shoes worn with the same dress create completely different images.
The classic version of women's leather shoes is everyone’s favorite mid-heeled pumps. Today they are, as before, at the peak of popularity. A distinctive feature of this shoe is a deep neckline. This model is deprived of clasps and keeps on the foot only due to the fit. They love boats for convenience and versatility, because they harmonize with almost any outfit. These shoes can have both traditional and modern designs, but they always emphasize the neatness of the female legs and give the gait a seductive grace.
Charming stiletto heels will not leave anyone indifferent. Her plus is that she gives a special charm to each ensemble, whether it be simple shorts with a top or a strict business suit. In general, a hairpin is an ideal option for special occasions. Depending on the format of the event, such shoes can be decorated with bows, ribbons, metal fittings. A model with an open cape looks especially seductive.
For fashionistas who are looking for comfort, leather shoes with a high-heeled strap will be an ideal solution (they are especially in demand among magnificent ladies). Often they are decorated with suede fragments.Such models look interesting, made of patent leather, printed or having an original iron heel or nose.
Leather fashion platform shoes are more and more in demand among fashionable women, comfortable for a regular walk around the city. The height and shape of the wedges may vary.
As an option, you can choose oxford shoes in a men's style on a small square heel (often this style has autumn models). They are no less comfortable than the previous model. Such models are popular among girls who do not want to slow down the rhythm of life due to high heels, but want to look fashionable. Oxfords are quite suitable for the role of office shoes.
Unisex fans can also choose a pair of practical leather loafers.
Ballet Flats - Flat shoes with a deep neckline and a rounded nose. The heel can be wide and very small (half a centimeter).
It should be noted that lately, leather shoes with lacing are again in trend.
Types of skin
Designers today produce shoes from the skins of various animals, even exotic ones (for example, pythons, ostriches).
Pigskin products are generally short-lived. This thin material dries easily and wears out soon. These are shoes for one season of the economy class.
The most popular raw material for shoe manufacturing is durable, yet relatively inexpensive cow leather. Such things related to the middle segment look attractive and have high wear resistance. The softer and more durable shoes are obtained from calfskin. It is softer than a cow, but it also costs, of course, more expensive.
Elite models of shoes are sewn from crocodile leather, which has an unusual appearance. As a rule, this is exclusively manual work, which further increases the cost of products.
Snake skin is cheaper than the previous one, but such shoes also belong to the luxury class. Shoes made of python are always a stylish thing that declares the status of its owner.
Luxury models made of ostrich leather can be afforded only by very wealthy people, since they cost fabulous money. The skin of this bird is distinguished by its original texture and looks voluminous.
Color
The most versatile color of women's leather shoes is, of course, black. It is practical and looks appropriate with any outfit. For some fashionistas, this coloring seems boring and they are looking for more unusual options for themselves.
In this regard, red can be an excellent solution, which goes well with black, white, gray and beige clothes. In such shoes you can safely even go to work. But we note a small minus - you can’t wear such shoes every day, so that the image does not become boring.
In addition, designers offer women a wide variety of other color options for leather shoes. These are white, gray shoes, as well as all the colors of the rainbow and their shades.
Leather shoes in golden color look luxurious. This is the highlight that will set the tone for your entire look.
Who is it for?
Leather shoes fit any woman. You just need to choose your own, the most winning model. For example, ladies with curvaceous should not wear a hairpin. Among other things, due to the large weight of the legs and back in such shoes will be subjected to heavy loads. It is better to choose boats with a stable heel of medium height.
If the girl does not accept a high heel or if it is undesirable to wear it for health reasons, a good option is leather shoes on a wide platform, which can also look elegant. This is especially true for young ladies of small stature. In addition, wedge shoes allow you to spend a long time on your feet without discomfort.
If you are a happy owner of an impeccable figure and do not know problems with joints, then, of course, you do not need to give up seductive leather stilettos. Such shoes instantly transforms the silhouette and makes posture more perfect.
How to stretch / narrow and spacing?
Surely, every woman at least once had a problem - how to carry new leather shoes, because this is a fairly strong material.
Shoe stores usually have special sprays available for this purpose. They need to process the shoes inside and above, then walk around in them for a while at home. If the effect does not suit you, repeat the procedure the next day.
The conservative way is to stretch with regular newspapers. A moistened newspaper must be torn and pushed into shoes tightly. To achieve the desired result, this design must dry naturally.
Another proven method for stretching shoes is with alcohol. Dampen the shoes with vodka from the inside, put on thick socks and walk around for about 20 minutes.
And the last way is not very convenient: put on cotton socks dipped in water, and then shoes. So you need to go a few hours. If the result does not suit, repeat the procedure.
There are also reverse situations when leather shoes would be desirable to narrow a little (by half-size-size). This problem is especially common when buying shoes in an online store. In addition, leather products are gradually stretched during socks. And if you can simply hook warm socks into leather boots or boots, then with shoes this is unacceptable.
The easiest way to adjust the size of the shoes is to use an extra insole, which, among other things, will protect the foot from rubbing.
You can purchase special silicone inserts in the shoe salon, so that the shoes do not rub or slip. In this case, they will simply fill in the extra space, thereby reducing the size.
If your shoes are closed, it is worth remembering the "grandmother" method and pushing cotton wool or napkins into the toe.
There is another extreme procedure: moisten leather shoes from the inside with water and lean them against a hot battery or heater for drying. Such a procedure, of course, will reduce the shoes, but be prepared for the fact that its appearance may suffer.
A more radical method is to put on your shoes and place your feet in a basin of warm water. Then you need to dry the product with a hairdryer or again put it on the battery.
We will also reveal the secret that photomodels resort to. Inside, a strip of double-sided tape is glued to the shoes, which sticks to bare skin and holds the shoes.
How to clean?
Leather shoes, like any shoes, need some care. Due to high humidity, exposure to dust, dirt, stains may occur on the product, shoes lose their luster. In order for your leather shoes to last as long as possible, they must be properly cleaned, especially in spring and autumn. Use a special cream or spray that will give the shoe a beautiful shine, it will additionally be stained and impregnated with a protective component.
Remember that before processing with these products, shoes need to be wiped with a special cloth and a brush. If your shoes are wet, then wash them with a sponge, completely dry them and only after that treat with cream or aerosol.
For everyday shoes, choose a cream with an organic solvent with water-repellent properties. You can also get a water-based composition. On the surface of the skin, the product is distributed with a special brush.
Note that it is advisable to clean the leather shoes in the evening, so that overnight they are well saturated with a protective compound.
What to wear?
Different models of leather shoes require different additions. So, the boats will create a romantic image in a duet with a magnificent bell skirt. If you wear a pencil skirt to them, then your silhouette will become elegant and irresistible. This model also looks organically with skinny jeans or classic pants.
Shoes with a wide sole look stylish with cropped trousers, coats, jackets. Men's style shoes are appropriate to wear with a set of jeans and a shirt.However, unisex shoes worn with a romantic dress will give the ensemble freshness and an original look. The hairpin, in turn, is best combined with feminine dresses, skirts, blouses, as well as a pantsuit.
Wear wedge leather shoes with shorts, jeans and tops. As for patent leather shoes, combine them only with matte texture clothing, preferably one tone with shoes. Suppose a contrasting outfit - the main thing is that it is not shiny.

Here is an everyday urban image, but it is the shoes that make it bright and original. Classic stilettos are made in a beautiful bright pink color, which enlivens the entire ensemble in black and gray colors. A high stiletto heel makes the leg slimmer, and the color of leather shoes echoes the shade of lipstick.
