Boots with a wide bootleg - who are they suitable for and what to wear them with? Wide boots: stylish combinations with the best models What are the names of wide boots


Today we hear such "unusual" and new names of shoes as l offers, oxfords, derby, brogues, top-siders and many others. Many types of footwear have appeared quite recently - they have filled store shelves, their names are easily used by fashion publications. But there is still confusion in my head.

Let's get acquainted with the types of men's and women's shoes, understand their names and the case for which this or that shoe model is intended.

Types of footwear are divided into several main groups: women and men, summer, winter, autumn, spring, demi-season.

As for the "seasonal" footwear, it is divided into four seasons known to us. Winter shoes you need to choose on three main points: convenience, strength, stability. Winter shoes are characterized by durable thick rubberized soles that do not slip. Also, winter shoes, both for women and for men, must have an insulated insole, with fur or any other insulation. Winter shoes can be made of genuine leather, artificial or suede. The main attribute of winter shoes is a stitched sole so that the shoes do not get wet and withstand all harsh weather conditions. So both snow and ice will be of no use to you.

Autumn shoes is divided into two types of footwear: for late autumn and for early. Autumn footwear can be either slightly insulated or bare. Shoes may not have fur, but warm lining is allowed. Autumn shoes can be made of leather or leatherette, varnish, suede, and rubber. It is important that autumn shoes are waterproof. To do this, you need to choose shoes that are also stitched and with high soles.

Spring shoes implies lightness, comfort and convenience. Thus, in spring shoes, there is sometimes no insole at all. Spring shoes usually have thin soles, but they can also be rubberized or stitched for heavy spring rains. The material of spring shoes can be almost any. Leather, varnish, suede, waterproof fabric - all these materials are suitable for the spring season.

When choosing summer, women's or men's shoes, the most important thing to be guided by is comfort. Comfort summer shoes lies in the naturalness of the material from which the shoes are made. Choose shoes made from natural materials such as bamboo, cotton or linen. So, in hot summer, your skin will "breathe".

Demi-season shoes includes two periods: autumn-winter and spring-summer. We choose demi-season shoes when we need to smoothly switch from autumn to winter shoes, from winter to spring, and from spring to summer. Demi-season shoes can protect us from slush, mud, rain, sleet, etc. This is exactly the kind of footwear that is not chosen specifically for the season, but for the weather conditions. Therefore, even in the spring, we can choose insulated demi-season shoes. These shoes are most often made from durable materials and soles.

Except for the seasons shoe classification is determined by several main features and is divided into several groups: household footwear, military footwear, casual footwear, weekend footwear, professional footwear, industrial and orthopedic footwear. Shoes can also be divided into subgroups: shoe model, shoe style, shoe type and shoe type.

Orthopedic shoes it happens, both for children and adults. Orthopedic shoes are more common among children's shoes, as they have a positive effect on the correct formation of the foot. In orthopedic shoes, there is always a relief insole that repeats the curves of the foot, and a heel counter that fixes the heel.

Industrial and professional footwear- these are work shoes that are intended for a particular kind of profession or specialty. There are no decorative details on this type of shoe. This kind of "work" footwear is made with thin and comfortable soles. Military footwear can also be classified as professional. Military shoes Consists of durable materials, sturdy lacing and various fastenings.

Household, or slippers, designed for home or yard. Home slippers are characterized by a soft lining and a thin, easily bendable sole. The filler for shoes for the home is a synthetic winterizer or fluff. Outdoor slippers are slightly more durable than indoor slippers. Unlike indoor slippers, outdoor shoes are made from rubber or other materials that can carry moisture and dirt.

Each type of footwear has its own name. Often these names come from the English language, so let's take the English gradation of types of shoes as a basis.

There is an opinion that women's shoes should be feminine. By feminine footwear, we mean high-heeled shoes, all kinds of boots and ankle boots. But after all, no one has canceled the fact that women's shoes should be stylish too! Several years ago, we could not have imagined that such impudent, brutal, but at the same time beautiful and stylish shoe models would enter the women's wardrobe. Nowadays, some women's shoe models look almost like men's. They are distinguished from each other by a more delicate style, finish and color. These models of women's shoes include: loafers, slippers, oxfords, derbies, brogues, monks, topsides, moccasins, espadrilles and slip-ons... All of the listed models of women's shoes are all elements of a men's wardrobe. So, we need to say "thank you" to the fashion and designers of men's shoes for bringing such a stylish, and most importantly, comfortable shoe model to the women's wardrobe.

It's no secret that shoes are also selected for a specific occasion. Thus, footwear is divided into several more subgroups: casual, solemn, for work, for leisure and for sports. Shoes are one of the main attributes of the male and female image. Therefore, it is not unimportant to wear it correctly, and most importantly, it is appropriate to wear it.

Women for the everyday work look can afford to choose stylish loafers, oxfords, slippers, and low-heeled pumps.

For special occasions shoes with high heels or wedges are always preferred. The material from which the shoes are made is also important. The choice of material should come from the occasion on which you wear them. For the most part, this applies to output shoes. For example, for an event, you can wear shoes made of satin material, velvet, or shoes that are decorated with stones.

I would like to focus on sports shoes for women and men. Slightly early sports shoes were intended for targeted use only. Now, sports shoes are one of the most stylish attributes of all fashionistas and fashionistas.

Women's and men's sports shoes are divided into three main groups: trainers, sneakers and sneakers.... If we have some kind of concept and idea about sneakers and sneakers, then I will dwell on sneakers in more detail.

Sneakers- one of the types of sports shoes that reach the ankle and have a small lightweight wedge. One of the brightest representatives of this women's footwear is the famous designer Isabel Marant. Also sneakers are presented in the collections of Giuseppe Zanotti, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Lanvin and many other designer shoe collections.

What can you wear with shoes like sneakers? Sneakers, like sneakers with sneakers, can be safely worn with casual clothes. I would like to note that this season sports style is very popular, namely mixed. One example of mixed athletic style is to wear cropped dress pants with trainers or other athletic shoes.

One of the main criteria by which we choose shoes is the season. V winter period women can afford to wear shoes with flat, durable and wide soles, or wide heels. These types of shoes include: boots, ankle boots, ugg boots, army boots, derby shoes, and everything you need to wear in the cold and slippery season. For special occasions, you can wear boots or ankle boots with a steady heel, as well as over the knee boots.

In autumn and spring women's shoe wardrobe will be complemented by such shoe models as: slippers, loafers, moccasins, oxfords, derby, brogues, ballet shoes etc. For the fall season, it is best to choose shoes made of durable and waterproof materials, as well as with thick soles. Shoes made of suede, varnish, fabric and thin soles are best left for the spring.

Summer period- one of the most beloved female periods. Because you can finally get your loved ones sandals with heels, sandals, summer boots, espadrilles, slates and enjoy some of the most comfortable types of shoes.

Concerning men's shoes, then she, like women, is divided into different types of shape, texture, lacing and perforation. Men ́s shoes such as oxfords and derby shoes belong to the lace-up shoe group. Model Derby has open lacing, and the model oxfords have closed lacing. Loafers & Monks have a smooth surface. Perforated shoe models include oxfords and brogues- one of the most "decorated" models of men's shoes.

Brogues Fabi brogues

Men's winter shoes slightly different from women's winter shoes. Winter shoes for men should be insulated, stable and with thick soles. It is best to choose the fur of boots from natural materials: sheepskin, tsigayka, goat, etc. These types of men's shoes include: army boots, timberland boots, men's ugg boots, redwings.

V autumn-spring period, men's shoes take on a more classic look. In the fall, Chelsea boots and desert boots will become indispensable. In the spring, the beloved men will be an excellent option. loafers, monks, derby, brogues etc.

Summer mens shoes should be as comfortable as possible and not hot. If in the summer women can afford to wear shoes on bare feet (sandals, shoes with an open toe or toe), then men have a framework in this regard. For example, dress code rules do not allow men to wear summer shoes ( flip-flops, slates, sandals) to work. There is also an alternative to this. Wear shoes like moccasins, topsiders and espadrilles on bare feet. Firstly, it will be comfortable and not hot, and secondly, the dress code will not be violated.

Moccasins Tod's Moccasin

And so, we smoothly moved on to the topic, with what to wear this or that shoe model? Of course, in the autumn-winter seasons, the main thing is that outerwear is harmoniously combined with shoes. With stylish women's derby boots, no less stylish will suit trench coat, beige or black or straight coat the same pastel colors. Winter ugg boots, both for men and women, are best worn with down jacket some bright color. A fur coat will look good with knee-high or slightly taller boots. In the spring, taking off the "heavy" outerwear, you can give your preference to cashmere cardigans or easy raincoats to pair with women's loafers, slip-ons, oxfords, moccasins, etc.

Men shoes such as oxfords, loafers, monks, brogues and derbies can be worn comfortably under classic suit and tie... Models such as topsides, moccasins, deserts, chelsea and redwings will fit casual and unobtrusive style - casual... Jeans, a cozy jacket, a sweater and a polo are the main components of this style. And models such as espadrilles, slip-ons and flip-flops - leave for the summer version, which can be worn to the beach with shorts or to the city with jeans .

Shoes are the hallmark of both women's and men's wardrobe. Sometimes shoes can say a lot more for you than you do.

Good afternoon, if you came to this page, then you need to know all the names of modern shoes ... so that you no longer get confused in its types and do not doubt the name of what you are wearing at the moment. Apparently the other day Someone called your moccasins an incomprehensible word LOAFERS, and sports slippers, which have served you faithfully for the second season, unexpectedly turned out to be SLIPONS. And you are determined to clarify the situation about the name of all these MODERN FOOTWEAR ... In this article I have collected in pictures all the names and all types of shoes - now you can confidently distinguish OXFORD DERBY boots, and you will never confuse LOAFERS with SLIPERS.

So, welcome to the world of modern types of shoes and their English names, which have entered the fashionable vocabulary of the Russian people.

We'll start with the types of shoes flat... let's smoothly move on to boots and all their kinds ... and finish women's shoes(yes, there will be louboutins too).

The names that we will analyze are equally present both in the types of women's shoes and in men's models. That is, for each variety from the list, there are female and male styles. Therefore, today you will learn not only to understand women's shoes, but also in a men's store you will be able to show off your erudition.

Types of FLAT-BASED SHOES

(modern shoe names)

Let's start our list of shoes. All names will be with pictures and explanations what is the characteristic difference of this species from all others.

The first name is beautiful with the taste of aircraft - ESPADRILLES (just like a flight squadron). Let's take a closer look at this type of shoe.

Espadrilles are a type of shoe that is distinguished by a woven sole and a natural (usually textile) upper material.

Where did it come from - the Spaniards originally came up with this shoe. They made rope grass soles and cheap jute material on the upper. Such shoes, due to their naturalness, were pleasant for feet in hot, stuffy weather. Very quickly, these shoes began to be worn not only by poor Spaniards, but by the whole of glamorous Europe.

The following shoe name is SLIPONS they also gave soft and comfortable textile slippers. But they are very different from espadrilles, just look at their appearance and find the differences.

Slipons- these are shoes with soft sports soles, made from textiles... A characteristic feature of slip-ons is a slightly protruding tongue and an elastic band next to the tongue. This type of shoe is worn with a sporty look, with jeans of all styles from skinny to boyfriends. Slip-ons of delicate colors also look appropriate with day-style summer dresses. The picture below shows that this type of footwear is often sewn not only from breathable textiles, but also from leatherette leather with various fashionable textures (like a snake or crocodile).

Very often slip-ons are given the name of another type of shoe SLIPERS (they are really similar). Let's see what is the difference between slip-ons and slip-ons.

Sleepers - like slip-ons only by the shape of the tongue- but differ from them in the first place in the absence of an elastic band-membrane, and a firm sole (see the picture below). And also the material from which they are made (sleepers are often made from smooth non-textile materials). Sole this type of shoe is the same as flat pumps. Spout shape slightly pointed, with a graceful roundness. And in the place where the slip-ons have an elastic band sewn in, the sleepers simply empty cut.

Now let's get acquainted with such a name of shoes as LOAFERS ... A beautiful graceful model of women's shoes and a stylish style of men's shoes for tight trousers.

Loafers are easy to distinguish from moccasins and sleepers - all loafers have jumper on the toe(just over the tongue) Loafers are often decorated with tassels or small metal buckles on the webbing strap.

Loafers - originate in Norway of the last century (they were worn as indoor shoes and had a soft sole. The Gucci fashion house brought a new sound of loafers - they gave loafers a solid sole and a gold bridge on the toe. Popularity of loafers was brought from the first users - John Kennedy, Grace Kelly , Michael Jackson - how can a mere mortal resist and not buy himself a similar type of shoe (even so close to the great ones).

The name MOKASINA is familiar to us from childhood, and here we consider them only to identify their differences from loafers and topsiders. Now we will compare this type of shoe with our brothers in cut.

Moccasin- moccasins are the name of the shoes that the Indians gave us. Moccasins have U-shaped stitched nose with a raised embossed seam... This is a real moccasin fit. Although sometimes a jumper (a strip of leather) is sewn over the tongue of the moccasin, and then the moccasins acquire the sign of loafers ... and the controversial question arises of loafers on our feet or moccasins. Here is such fun))) - you can argue and even fight.

The next name for shoes, close in cut to makasin, is TOPSIDERS - most often these are men's shoes, although they are also found on women (but rarely).

Dockside- topsiders in their cut resemble moccasins. A distinctive feature of this type of footwear lies in its sailor color - a decorative lace runs along the upper edge of the boot. They are distinguished by a cord threaded over the top of the shoe, which serves as a decor (like a lace in the collar of an English sailor).

It's funny that their names in English (doxyders) and in Russian (topsiders) are different. In Russia, they are called topsiders by the name of the company Sperry Top-Sider, which invented them in 1935. This type of shoe was specially made for sailing yachts - the ribbed outsole prevents slipping on a smooth deck, and the beige or white color of the sole (as opposed to black) does not leave marks on the expensive deck flooring.

The next type of shoes MONKI is more common in men's collections, although women's versions of similar design also come across on fashionable bows. Let's take a look at this variety of modern footwear.

Monkey- the type of footwear that distinguishes the presence of a strap with a buckle- sometimes one, more often two at once. The height of the monks is not higher than the ankle (this is how they differ from this type of footwear like KAZAKI)

The name of this type of footwear comes from the Anglian word MONK "monk". It was the monks in the distant XI century who came up with such simple shoes with a fastener in the form of a wide strap and buckle. It was very convenient to take them off and put them on without getting tangled up in laces that were stuffed with dirt. Poor monks did not make such boots from their skin, but from coarse textiles. And in the modern world, this shoe design is made from expensive high-quality smooth glossy leather.

KINDS OF SHOES WITH LACE

(oxfords, derby, brogues, desert boots)

But the kind of boots that everyone knows - and they all call them OXFORD - once they fell in love with Oxford youth and with their light hand, that is, legs, they popularized and spread to the whole honest world.

Oxfords differ from all other types of boots similar to them in that LACE BARS are sewn into the cape part with their lower edges boot. That is, in fact, lacing in this type of shoe performs a decorative function; it does not particularly expand the toe when unlacing. By the way, the correct lacing on Oxford shoes is the one where the laces run in neat parallel stripes (and not like in the picture above). The photos below show us that in the modern world, the design of Oxford shoes can be the most fancy and even freaky.

And here are the Derby boots - a type of shoe that is often confused with OXFORDS. But they have one very obvious difference.

In Derby boots sidewalls are sewn over the main part of the boot... And therefore, when the laces are untied, these sidewalls can freely bend (spank like ears). And if you remember in Oxfords, opposite the sidewall of the lacing part, they are tightly sewn into the toe of the boot and cannot bend and even move apart with difficulty. They less official, than oxfords, and therefore can be worn not only with trousers but also with jeans and corduroy pants, chinos, etc.

You have probably noticed that many of the presented boots have perforation in the form of holes for airing your feet in hot weather. For such a leaky type of shoe, a special name has been invented - these shoes are called BROGIE.

Where did BROGI's boots come from?- it is believed that this type of footwear has Scottish roots. It was there in the tall and damp grasses that the Scots grazed their livestock, suffering from wet boots. The boots did not have time to dry out overnight, when again it was necessary to drive the cattle out to the pasture and put on nasty damp shoes. That is why the idea arose to make holes in the shoes for quick airing and drying.

Brogues are a type of shoe ideal for cotton or linen trousers, chinos, corduroy pants and elastic sweatpants. As you can see in the picture below, brogue boots can be designed like Oxfords and Derby.

The next type of footwear from our list is DESERT. They got their name from the word desert. These were the boots worn by the British military in Egypt. The hot sand did not heat the heels thanks to the thick sole, and the soft leather made the feet feel comfortable and comfortable. When the war ended, the remnants of the uniforms fell into the free sale and fell in love with the entire civilian population of England.

A distinctive feature of DEZERTS are their thickened sole and more often suede leather and a very small number of holes for lacing. Women's versions of these boots are often heeled and have a more sophisticated toe.

And in their cut they are very similar to the following type of shoes CHUKKA ... In fact, deserts are one of the varieties of chukka boots. Let's consider this type of boots, very beautiful and laconic in its meager ascetic lacing and the simplicity of a laconic smooth cut.

Chukka (or chukka) boots differ from deserts more free cut- it is blown out of the higher sides ... and more holes for lacing are allowed - not two, but three. And the material for this type of footwear no longer has to be suede - even smooth patent leather is only welcome.

TYPES OF HIGH BOOTS

(Chelsea, Timberlands, Dr. Martins, Sneakers)

Now the turn has come to high boots and the first in this list of styles are smooth and minimalistic in their design CHELSEA BOOTS. They are often found in both men's and women's shoes. I will specifically write an article about what you can wear with such fashionable and incredibly comfortable shoes for women.

Chelsea boots- Chelsea boots do not have any decorative elements - no buckles, no laces. They are laconic in their cut and their beauty lies in their pure radiance and flawless smoothness. They have a side slit on both sides, into which an elastic band is inserted, for ease of dressing.

Fashion houses often play with this laconic style of women's shoes, giving it different additions in the form of a heel (as in the photo below) or perforation and a cut without elastic.

High boots in military style, which our people still like to call boots or army boots, in the states called DOCTOR MARTINS.

Dr. Martens- this type of boots is decorated with high lacing up to the very top of the shoe. They have a quality outsole with deep treads, making them a comfortable shoe for muddy off-seasons and slippery winters.

Designers love to play with heavy combat boots with Oxford-inspired perforations, or a thin wedge heel (see photo below).

Timberland boots TIMBERLANDS - translated, it sounds like a forester's boots. They differ from other lace-up shoes with a height just above the ankle and a velvety surface of the material from which they are sewn.

The popularity of these boots brought cheerful mustard color- this color scheme turned out to be crucial for the popularization of this type of footwear. Now this color is considered the classic color of TIMBERLANDS. The design feature of these boots is their ability to bend back outward with the fur.

Well, finally, it’s turn to beats with a chocolate name. SNEAKERS - got its name from the word "sneak up" - the soft, silent sole of this type of shoe allows you to sneak up silently.

Sneakers are similar to sports shoes - due to the rubber flexible sole and a cut that is close to sneakers with Velcro or laces. This shoe was originally used on tennis courts- and now she was raised on a high platform and even on a wedge heel for lovely ladies who have long dreamed of sneakers with heels.

This is such a journey into the world of shoe names we made today. Now you feel like an expert in a wide variety of shoes ... and are well versed in all types of lace-up boots. Now you can instructively comment on fashion articles in fashion blogs and correct the careless hacks who called the derby Oxford shoes.

And that is not all…

I am inviting you in continuation of this article.

We haven't finished yet ... we just have to figure it out with types of women's shoes, yes, and the boots are not a hindrance to line up in a strict classification ...

Good luck with your choice of shoes.
Olga Klishevska, specially for the site

In the new season, boots with a wide bootleg are gaining special popularity. They are created for girls with a confident gait, who remain feminine, attractive and confident in any situation. A lady of any age and physique can choose an interesting and suitable option for herself.

Fashionable boots with a wide bootleg

Relatively recently, women's boots with a wide bootleg have come into fashion. They have two main advantages:

  1. They are suitable for women with any fullness of legs, visually concealing all flaws and making them slimmer.
  2. They can be combined with any clothing, from shorts to.

This style of shoes is suitable for most women, regardless of age, height and physique, with the exception of one moment. It is not advisable to wear them for girls with excessively thin legs. In this case, they will not decorate, but only emphasize your figure not in the most favorable light, dangling sloppily on your shins. But if you still desperately want such a model, then you need to wear a long skirt with them, which will hide this nuance.


There are examples that are designed for the summer period. They can be made of lace or perforated leather. Most options have an open toe, sometimes a heel. They can be made in the style of minimalism or decorated with ribbons, ribbons, bows, straps. They go well with light dresses, sundresses, short shorts.


Metallic models were presented for shocking personalities in the new collections. They look very bright and even futuristic. In order not to overload the image, you need to be careful with the selection of the rest of the wardrobe. Clothing should be as restrained as possible and not have shiny details. The bow can be complemented with a stylish watch, glasses and a small handbag.


The key to a successful purchase is the correct size selection. Sometimes, the wider the top, the wider the lower part, and in this regard, a girl with a narrow leg will be uncomfortable. Such shoes must be measured. It is best to do this on a tight sock or tights, with the expectation of cold weather. Also take into account the fact that the skin may come apart a little during wear, so the chosen pair should not sit too loosely on the foot.

High boots with a wide bootleg

High women's boots with a wide shaft look very impressive. Often they reach the knee, but there are also boots that expand at the top. At the latest fashion shows, an original model was demonstrated, which looks more like fishing wading boots. Designers skillfully combined it with ultra-short skirts and cropped down jackets.

As it is already clear, the correct answer to the question is in the middle: Treads.

Boots are cunning shoes. The cuff can greatly influence the visual perception of the figure, therefore, its choice should be treated very carefully. To make it easier, read our tips.

Focus on height

Let's distinguish three main types of bootlegs in height, along the way considering their advantages and disadvantages. Knowing them, it will be much easier to buy the perfect women's boots.

Short shaft

Mid-calf height is quite versatile, but it interacts well with the features of the figure, so it can be dangerous. A few tips:

1) For full calves, choose boots that are slightly above mid-calf. Avoid tight-fitting boots that end above the shin. In such shoes, the legs will seem even more massive and fuller.

2) short legs do not accept boots with trim or bulging horizontal decor. This visually shortens the height and makes the figure disproportionate.

3) with thin calves, very wide boots do not look, since they visually make the legs even thinner. The effect is created, which is ironically called by the people "pencils in a glass".

How to wear

Combine these shoes with the following wardrobe items to play up the dangerous boot heights:

Thick opaque tights, skinny jeans or leggings to match the boots;
- short skirts, shorts and dresses. The more open the leg is, the longer it will appear. Avoid midi skirts and bridges;
- tight leggings that visually lengthen the bootleg, thereby making it more loyal to your image.

High boot

It is not for nothing that all women fell in love. It gives the greatest scope in the choice of their outfits, is distinguished by a delicate attitude to the peculiarities of the figure, it is appropriate in any circumstances. But there are a few tricks associated with it:

1) vertical lacing, print, zippers visually slim and lengthen the legs. Boots with a high bootleg and a tapered toe have the same effect;

2) thin ladies are more suitable for models that fit the leg tightly. It is better for them not to wear a loose bootleg, especially in combination with thin transparent tights and stockings;

3) if you have wide calves, then avoid too tight bootlegs. They will not only highlight the flaws, but they can cause some inconvenience and discomfort, pinching and squeezing the legs. And with prolonged wear, it is fraught with unpleasant health consequences.

What to wear with

This is where fantasies can roam. High-toed boots are worn with everything except:

Tracksuits,
- flared and wide trousers,
- ski and puffy winter trousers and overalls.

Very high bootleg, over the knee boots

It's hard to think of a shoe that is more feminine and sexy than an over-the-knee boot. But they are not suitable for everyone. There are nuances:

1) if you have a disproportionate figure, when the top is longer than the bottom, the boots will emphasize this feature. Be careful when choosing clothing that visually lengthens the bottom. For example, high-waisted garments have the desired effect.

2) ladies of short stature can afford to wear boots only if their legs are perfectly slender and straight. It is allowed to resort to a little trick by choosing boots with wedges or heels.

3) you should be careful with the width of the bootleg. If you are short, boots should be like stockings, tight-fitting legs. If you have chubby thighs, avoid tight over-the-knee boots that can transfer your body.

How to wear

Boots with a very high bootleg for many do not cause the most decent associations, so it makes sense to adhere to the following rules:

The distance between the top of the boots and the bottom of the dress does not exceed 10 cm,
- too short shorts and skirts are complemented by an elongated jacket or cardigan,
- the neckline does not attract attention, since the accent in the image falls on the legs.
