Women's shoes have long ceased to be just shoes. This is a fashion accessory that can become a key element of the whole image. Shoes give rigor and sophistication, ease and grace, youth and freedom. The article will reveal interesting facts about such a fashionable phenomenon as women's shoes.
Kinds
There are a lot of shoes in the fashion world. Designers of the variety of this shoe are divided according to their functional purpose into several types:
- Office shoes - an integral part of the everyday image. They should be discreet, comfortable, made of quality material, comfortable heels, neutral shades.
Indoor shoes. Yes, not all homes go in slippers. Many people prefer shoes. They are elegant shoes with low heels or wedges, made of velor or velveteen, often decorated with a pompom.
Medical shoes - shoes for doctors. This type of shoe began to stand out recently, and a prerequisite for this was the special specifics of the work of doctors and other medical personnel. Doctors spend most of their working time on their feet, so the shoes for them are made comfortable, on a small hill, from natural materials.
Low running shoes. Not all women show their preference for high heels. Some, due to their views, health status, physiological characteristics, or simply from the point of view of convenience, wear shoes at low speed. A low stroke is not the absence of a heel at all, it is a minimum height that allows the foot to feel comfortable.
Warmed shoes - A great option for late spring and early fall. This is the time when you want to put on something light, but the weather does not allow.Designers came up with insulated models - their feet will not freeze, they will provide rest from so annoying boots and ankle boots.
Next, let's talk about popular models of shoes and their varieties
The first place is occupied by boats. Many of us do not even suspect that they have many varieties.
Classic. Their distinctive features:
- lack of fasteners;
- pointy front end of the shoe;
- thin hairpin from 7 cm to 12;
- not for daily wear, appropriate for special occasions.
With side cutouts. They fit perfectly into summer bows.
Round nose and a thin low heel. Designed for business style.
With heelwide at the base and gradually tapering to a hairpin at the bottom. The sock can be either pointed or round.
Open cape - in the form of a triangle, droplets, narrow, wide. The boats are worn in summer or spring, the main requirement is an ideal pedicure.
In second place is the platform and wedge heel. Immediately it is worth determining what the difference in concepts. Wedge-heels - the sole, which expands in the form of a wedge. The platform has the same thickness throughout the sole. These two elements are a convenient alternative to heels.
Shoes, whether on a wedge heel, stilettos, platform, low speed, can have such a detail as a strap. It performs two functions - decorative and maintaining the arch of the foot. The strap can be located on the rise, just above the ankle, in the shape of the letter T.
In the summer, many women like to wear open shoes - sandals, in which most of the foot remains open. The top may have cutouts or consist of straps intertwined with each other. The sole is allowed any.
Now let's move on to flat shoes
Ballet shoes resemble boats, but with a flat sole or a low heel. They are universal, combined with all styles. But contraindicated to full fashionistas - they are able to make the figure more bulky and squat.
Moccasins have a soft sole, perfectly complement the outfit with trousers of any length, shorts, light dresses.
Loafers have a decorative seam on the front of the product. Their models are diverse - on the platform, square heels, made of leather, suede, textile. Designers decorate loafers with fringe, tassels, buckles, flowers, bows.
Topsiders - a mixture of the two previous types of shoes without heels. The difference is a grooved white sole and a white lace running all over the upper contour of the shoes.
The summer option is espadrilles. They are made of textile with a sole made of rope jute, straw or grass. Look beautiful with any bow.
Material
Designers spoil us and present each new season shoes made of different materials.
Leather is a popular material. Manufacturers use two types of skin: cattle skin and small cattle.
Cattle Leather It has a number of advantages: durable, moisture resistant, wear resistant. But shoes made of such leather are quite tough.
Cattle Leather (goat, goat, sheep) is soft, sits on the leg like a glove, adjusting to the bends. It is elastic, with interesting textured patterns, looks elitist and expensive. To create original shoes, the skin is painted in different colors.
Pig skin Known for its rough texture, it is pimply, breathes well, ideal for summer shoes.
Reptile skin (iguana, eel, lizard, crocodile, snake) and ostrich leather are used to produce expensive shoes. These shoes are exclusive and are often sewn in single copies.
Suede is another popular material. It is obtained from the skin by fat tanning. Suede is always made expensive and high-quality shoes. Its main characteristics are breathability and water permeability. For such shoes, special products are sold in stores - impregnations with a water-repellent effect. They protect the material from moisture, and extend the life of the product.
Velveteen, or material is also called velvet - fabric with a special interweaving of threads, forms a pleasant soft surface to the touch. The color of velvet can be varied. Corduroy shoes look beautiful and noble, but are more suitable for wearing indoors than outdoors.
Knitted shoes are a hit of the summer season. They are original and look stylish. You can make them yourself, getting exclusive shoes.
