Not so long ago, all kinds of shoes could be easily counted on the fingers. Everything changed with the advent of mass production, as well as with the invention of various new materials. The 20th century is one of the most active periods in the development of shoe production. Now, from the pages of any fashion magazine, recommendations are beginning to pour in: "Wedges are not to be worn, but clogs; hide loafers and buy oxfords; cat heels and Mary Janes dominate the catwalks." All of this makes my head spin. Let's take a closer look at some types of shoes.
Ballet shoes for fashionistas
Ballet shoes are a classic model of women's shoes with a small stable heel or flat sole. They got their name because of the resemblance to professional ballet shoes. Ballet flats were created in New York by Salvatore Capezio. In 1949, they appeared on the cover of the glossy Vogue magazine. They gained worldwide popularity thanks to the movie screen after the appearance of O. Hepburn and B. Bardot in them.
Women's sandals
Considering the types of shoes, sandals should be highlighted. These are open shoes that can be worn barefoot. The heel can be different sizes. Sandals referto the type of "sandals", while in the English version they do not even have a separate category.
Ankle boots that emphasize the beauty of women's legs
Ankle boots are women's shoes. This is something between boots and shoes. They cover only the ankle, due to which in the English version the ankle boots were called Ankle (ankle).
Sport sneakers
Sneakers are the world's best-selling shoes that have become popular in everyday wear. At the same time, their owner may not be fond of sports. Everyone wants to buy sneakers, from young to old, regardless of lifestyle and age. It's easy enough to explain. Evaluating different types of shoes, you understand that it is sneakers that are not subject to age restrictions. They are worn for sports, for a walk, for a date, for work, someone and for a wedding. The main thing is to choose the right design, color and shape.
Sandals - shoes for those who value comfort
Sandals are lightweight shoes with straps and soles. Often the sole is without a heel, flat. This is one of the oldest types of shoes, which has become widespread among people living in hot countries. Today it is a very popular shoe in Moscow. These include flip-flops, sandals, gladiators, flip-flops and other types of open shoes. Chaste women in the Roman Empire wore closed shoes. At the same time, women of easy virtue chose sandals in order to emphasize the harmony and beauty of their legs.
Suchvarious boots…
Boots are shoes with a fairly high top. There are such types of boots: covering the leg only to the knee, over the knee boots (above the knee), half boots (covering the leg only to half the calf), and ankle boots (covering the ankle). Most models have a heel. From the very beginning, the heel in shoes was used as an element that helps to walk on loose ground, after that it also began to help riders fix the leg in the stirrups. Most often, boots are made of rubber and leather, less often of materials of synthetic origin.
