Oxfords appeared quite a long time ago and are, in fact, a type of British national shoe, which is called Balmorals. This name comes from the name of the British royal castle - Balmoral.
Later, when this model gained unprecedented popularity among students at Oxford University, it began to be called Oxfords. This type of shoes was also a priority among teachers, because the model not only has an official business look, but is also very comfortable, which is also important.
At the same Oxford University, during the eighteenth century, shortened Oxford boots were at the peak of popularity. Many historians suggest that it was these shoes that became the progenitor of Oxford shoes.
The very first models of Oxford shoes were made only from smooth leather of a dark shade, but now in the manufacture of this type of shoe they use absolutely different materials of all colors known to man.
When, by the end of the twentieth century, the British style gained its greatest popularity, Oxford shoes became available for women’s wardrobes, which could not but rejoice, because they fit well into a wide variety of women’s outfits.
What do they look like?
The classic Oxford model looks like the standard men's shoe from which the model originally originated. The product is made of high-quality leather, has the shape of men's shoes with a slightly pointed, rounded toe, which is the first and most obvious sign.
This type The shoe has a slightly thin sole, as well as a heel with a height of half to three centimeters, which occupies almost the entire heel area.
The shoes have lacing, closed type, and the boots are located under the vamp, which is sewn on top.
How are they different from derbies and brogues?
Before you start comparative analysis, it is necessary to determine what kind of shoes these are and only after that begin to look for any distinctive features in them. We have already defined Oxfords and talked in more detail about what kind of shoes they are, now let’s look at the rest.
Derby- are shoes with laces, where an element called ankle boots is sewn on top of a part that is usually called the vamp. In reality, the vamp is a continuation of the front, toe part.
Brogues– a feature of this type of shoe can be called a cut-off toe, as well as the fact that the lacing can be either open or closed.

A characteristic feature of this type of shoe is the presence of perforations. |
|
Lacing |
Oxfords are characterized by closed lacing. |
Shoes of this type have an open lacing type. |
The lacing of this type of shoe can be either closed or open. |

Features in wearing rules |
Oxfords are considered an official style and are called the most formal type of footwear, which is usually combined with business suits according to all dress code rules. |
This type of shoe is more universal, since plain dark models fit into a business style, while colored and decorated ones are part of an informal look. |
Due to the presence of perforations, these shoes become completely inappropriate in the office dress code, which makes them an excellent option for an informal setting. |
|
The material from which it is made |
For the manufacture of any of these types of shoes, both natural materials - leather and suede, and artificial fibers obtained synthetically are actively used. In addition, decorative fabrics such as corduroy, velvet, and patent leather are actively used. |

As you can see, the distinctive features are not so obvious, they lie in small details that quite seriously affect the style of the shoe. Therefore, when choosing a model in accordance with the nature of the event, it is worth paying special attention to this aspect.
Models 2019
The range of Oxford shoes is much wider than it might seem, because the classic model is a shoe with low wide heels, which can often be confused with an attribute of a men's wardrobe.
But the varieties are not limited to just the classic model; there are many others, which are often confused with other representatives of shoe fashion. For example, a model with heels is often classified as a type of shoes and ankle boots.
Oxfords look quite interesting on the platform, but their uniqueness lies not only in appearance. The fact is that this model is incredibly convenient and extremely comfortable for the foot, since the sole is thicker than a regular one and performs better shock-absorbing functions when walking.
Looks quite interesting tall models with higher sides. Often this model has a zipper or lace-up closure, which makes it easy to put the shoe on your foot. In addition, this model is better suited for cool and rainy weather, since by covering most of the leg, it protects it from rain and dirt.
Oxfords without laces- a relatively new, unusual trend that may not be as convenient as it seems at first glance. The fact is that for some girls, with full instep, it may be uncomfortable and difficult to put shoes made of thick leather on their feet.
It is better to choose a model with rubber inserts, which greatly facilitate the process. There are also advantages to the absence of lacing, for example, such shoes are much faster to put on and take off, and you don’t have to worry about the laces not coming undone.
Quite an unusual idea - model of insulated and winter oxfords. Autumn and mid-season models are equipped with a thin lining made of warm fabric. For example, a thin layer of fleece, fleece or padding polyester. These materials are famous for their insulating functions.
Warmer designed for winter, oxfords, have more serious insulation - a thick layer of natural fur. The use of artificial leather is not advisable for one simple reason - synthetic fibers are not able to keep you warm in cold weather as well as natural leather.
By the way, for mothers who prefer to select clothes and shoes for their babies, similar to their own wardrobe, there are children's oxford models for girls, in which the child will not only look fashionable, but also feel comfortable.
Material
Of course, the material has an important influence on appearance shoes, as well as on its functional features and sometimes even on the area of application. Therefore, if you do not have the opportunity to purchase several pairs of shoes, you should carefully study all the offers to choose the best option.
Eg, suede oxfords, although they look very beautiful, they are still quite impractical, since suede, even when exposed to the best impregnating agent, still allows moisture to pass through and wears out quite quickly.
Suede Oxfords are very relevant in winter, since suede has a fairly good thermoregulatory function and will perfectly protect your feet from the cold.
Model from the classic genuine leather is the most widespread and enjoys the greatest relevance, since it is impossible to imagine something more durable and wear-resistant than genuine leather.
Of course, purchasing shoes made of genuine leather is somewhat expensive, and for those who want to save money, there are more budget options - leatherette. Oxfords made from leatherette, although they have a lot of advantages, still have one significant drawback - a low degree of wear resistance.
If you want to surprise others with your unconventional taste in clothing, we recommend that you purchase velvet or varnish model. Oxfords with a lacquered surface, although they require more careful handling, will still not leave you, your friends, or harsh fashion critics indifferent.
Perhaps every girl knows that it is important not only to choose shoes from the right material, but also to provide these shoes with proper, high-quality care in order to extend their service life.
- The varnish surface requires the most careful handling. It is the most fragile, because with the slightest impact, with any friction, unsightly abrasions and scratches remain on patent leather shoes, which spoil the appearance of the product.
- Abrasion, unlike scratches, is quite easy to remove using specialized tools. If a real scratch appears on the shoe, unfortunately, it will not be possible to disguise it.
- Things are much simpler with leather products, since basic leather care is quite simple. Dirt, even the most severe, can be easily removed with a damp cloth, and to prevent the skin from losing its original appearance, you can use special creams and impregnations.
- For additional care, you can use special sprays that have a water-repellent effect.
- Suede requires much more careful handling and proper care. To clean the material, it is better to use a cloth soaked in soapy water and a special brush with a soft rubber surface.
- In addition, for suede the use of water-repellent impregnation is mandatory, since this material quickly absorbs moisture and takes a very long time to dry, slightly deforming in the process.
Color
Oxfords, although they look somewhat formal, still do not belong exclusively to business shoes and fit well into the framework of everyday, informal style. This means that the color palette of this shoe model consists not only of a classic set of restrained shades, but also includes a number of unusual, rich shades.
But the classic color scheme also deserves attention, because what else would suit a business look if not black oxfords? The model looks sophisticated and elegant, so it fits perfectly into outfits with strict classic types of clothing.
The same can be said about classic Oxfords. Brown and its dark shades. This option looks most successful on girls with dark skin, emphasizing its shade favorably.
Speaking about brown oxfords, we cannot fail to mention a model of a very specific shade of brown, which is commonly called red. In fact, this shade can be called more of a bright light brown.
As for its compatibility with other shades, it looks quite harmonious with both light and dark tones.
Bright, colorful shades are well suited for the summer, especially for girls who are not afraid to experiment with their style. The priority colors are green and red, which perfectly complement outfits in a calmer color scheme consisting of light shades.
But these colors look beautiful not only in the bright version. Oxfords in dark red, burgundy, marsala, dark green and dark emerald colors look more restrained and elegant. These models can complement or slightly dilute any business image.
For more feminine, romantic girls there are pink models, blue flowers and their lighter shades. Models in these tones look great with clothes in light shades and warm colors. For example, with clothes in cream, light beige, as well as shades of champagne and ivory.
In addition to single-color models, oxfords that have a two-tone color, as well as colors that include three or more colors, are quite widespread. This can be a combination of shades that are harmonious with each other.
For example, burgundy and black, dark brown and black, light pink and light gray, white and blue, and many others.
Brands
Today, there are incredibly many manufacturers of Oxford shoes. Of course, not a single shoe brand misses the opportunity to profit from the reputation of this type of shoe. But you should know that popular British brands were the first in the world to undertake mass production of Oxfords.
Quite economical business style options can be found in MARKS & SPENCER stores; more informal models are common in H&M and TOPSHOP boutiques. The most budget-friendly store where you can buy not only oxfords, but also clothes, is PRIMARK, but it’s worth knowing that the manufacturer presents rather low-quality goods to customers.
In addition, more expensive stores ESPRIT, MUJI, REISS, ZARA, UNIQLO are responsible for the quality of their clothes and shoes, but also have a slightly inflated price tag. To some, this cost may seem unprofitable, but, in fact, it is completely justified.
In Russia, many of the listed stores are located in the largest shopping centers different cities, so you can buy a pair of stylish oxfords there without any problems.
The model is also produced by domestic manufacturers, but it is worth paying special attention to small details and quality, since not all standards are met.
What to wear with it?
Of course, all fashionistas are interested in the question of combining Oxfords with other attributes of their wardrobe, because some may find this shoe model unusual and even very specific, because some varieties look slightly masculine.
Typically, these shoes are worn over socks and tights, since it is neither aesthetically pleasing nor hygienic to wear Oxfords on bare feet. When your bare foot rubs against a leather insole, corns and calluses may appear.
Models with wedges and heels look very good, worn over woolen stockings above the knee, but you should know that this option is only suitable for slender girls. Those with curvy figures can combine knee-high socks and stylish knitted leg warmers with oxfords.
Fashion designers and fashion designers offer many options for the name of such original and extravagant shoes, applying to their sole such associations as “rough”, “tractor”, high or simply thick. But in the conversations of advanced connoisseurs of modern fashion, more precise definitions of the popular shoe trend are mentioned: creepers, creepers and flatforms.
1. “Creeper” - creeper - “sneaking, silently crawling” in literal translation, symbolizes closed shoes with thick soles. During the Second World War, this was the name given to British soldiers' boots, the soles of which were cut from old car tires. In times of peace, creepers periodically “surfaced” the fashion wave and were popular among representatives of various subcultures. Today, fashionable shoes with thick soles are not an indicator of any specific beliefs and are in demand due to their originality, practicality and sustainability.
2. “Flatforms” is a play on two words: flat, which translates as “flat,” and platform. Unlike "closed" creepers, they can be both boots and summer sandals.
What is the secret of the popularity of shoes with grooved soles?
Black and colorful, plain and patterned, textile, suede and leather - creepers are popular among both women and men. The high demand for such products is due to several factors:
Winter, demi-season or summer shoes with thick soles can add from 3 to 10 centimeters to your height, which is especially important for short fans of the shoe trend;
Due to the slight bending of the foot, legs in creepers do not get tired as much as, for example, in high-heeled shoes and boots;
The extraordinary appearance of flatforms helps to emphasize individuality and make their owner stand out from the crowd;
Thanks to the combination of two styles in creepers at the same time (romantic and casual), shoes for tractor sole It's not that hard to choose clothes.
What to wear with thick-soled shoes
Modern fashionistas claim that creepers go with absolutely any outfit, and shoes with thick soles can complement both everyday and festive looks. Among the huge variety of models of such products, fans of strict silhouettes and casual images, lovers of sporty style and romance.
Creepers go well with a wide variety of skirts: mini, midi, maxi and even asymmetry. Despite the external massiveness of corrugated shoes, combining them with truly feminine wardrobe items gives the image not rudeness, but a mysterious oriental flavor. The beauty of flat shoes is that in appearance they resemble the shoes of Japanese geishas, whose femininity is known all over the world.
And since boots and sandals on a high flat platform are worn with skirts, you can combine these extraordinary shoes with dresses. Especially original are images consisting of bright summer dresses with prints and massive sandals in monochrome or colorful shades. Flatforms are also great for straight, plain sheath dresses and A-line dresses, allowing you to create good options outfits for a business meeting or office.
A very unusual effect is achieved by combining in the image summer shoes with thick soles and culottes. Classics will be an appropriate option for an office wardrobe, and a casual cut of trousers will be an appropriate option for a casual look.
The combination of creepers and trousers deserves special attention. Here you can choose any comfortable length of pants, but the legs themselves must have a lightweight cut. Wide trousers will not only ruin the look, but will also make it look rough, massive and completely unfeminine.
To the owners slender legs You should definitely try to combine high-waisted shorts and sports shoes with thick soles in one look, which can visually lengthen your legs. Jumpsuits also look cool with creepers.
Massive shoes, sandals, sandals, sneakers, boots and high-soled boots can be combined with massive accessories: large jewelry, long scarves and wide-brimmed hats.
What kind of shoes can be with thick soles?
In addition to seasonality, shades and shapes, creepers can differ in design and the presence of additional elements.
1. Boots with thick soles fit almost any clothing and allow you to make your silhouette more graceful and slender.
2. Shoes with high wedges are an excellent solution for lovers of an active lifestyle - both casual and office.
3. Shoes and sandals with thick heels are a must-have for a modern fashionista, allowing you to create a unique and incredibly feminine style.
4. Boots with tractor soles and lace-ups look stylish and impressive. They are quite suitable for both sporty and gentle looks.
5. Shoes with transparent soles are the choice of brave girls who love to attract the attention of others.
6. Hidden sole is a trick that is actively used by modern designers who want to disguise a high platform.
7. Boots with spikes, rivets, buckles and other metal elements, despite their visual boldness and rigidity, go well with light dresses and airy skirts.
Online shoe store kupivip.by offers a wide selection fashionable shoes on a thick sole.
Boots with thick, rough soles, like the famous ones, immediately became the subject of heated debate from the moment of their appearance. Some people admire them, happily complementing their looks with this non-classical element, while for others the original boots evoke feelings close to nausea.
However, every year the number of designers who want to play with thick soles is only growing. In this article we will talk about high-soled boots.
Boots with thick flat soles
Shoes with flat, high soles are called creepers or flatforms. Most often, such shoes appear in the wardrobes of teenagers and informal fashionistas. And since both of these categories have sneakers as one of their shoe favorites, it is not surprising that thicker soles most often appear on them. Creeper sneakers can be completely different color, style and form. There are both models that differ from classic sneakers only in the thickness of the sole, as well as absolutely incredible sneakers, decorated with spikes or three-dimensional details (skulls, roses, animal figures).
Thick soles look very interesting on classic shoes - for example, oxford boots with thick soles will certainly attract the attention of others. At the same time, the boots do not look rough, and undoubtedly have a certain charm.
The same can be said about Chelsea Creepers. High or low boots with elastic bands look no worse with thickened soles than in the original version. This bold version of Chelsea boots is suitable for young girls or boys, but mature fashionistas should probably give it up.
The disadvantage of shoes with thick soles is their visual heaviness. Therefore, it is better to supplement creepers or tight trousers, short dresses, shorts or skirts. Long loose dresses and wide floor-length skirts with shoes with thick soles can only be worn by slender young ladies. Fat girls in such ensembles it is very difficult to avoid the “heaviness” and even some awkwardness of the image.
Don't be scared by the deliberate roughness of boots with wide soles. They operate on the principle of contrast, emphasizing the slimness and grace of the figure.
Winter boots with thick soles are insulated with fabric or fur inserts, as well as fur decor on the top of the foot and shin.
Women's boots with high soles and heels
Boots with high, rough soles are found not only in the closets of fashionable freaks and teenagers. There are models that almost any fashionista will not refuse to have. It's about about high-heeled boots. In combination with a thick sole, the heel visually lengthens the legs even more. In addition, the thick sole allows you to slightly “compensate” for the height of the heel, as a result of which the boots become more comfortable.
As you can see, the variety of boots with wide soles is quite large. Every year, original shoes penetrate more and more into our wardrobes, and what yesterday caused surprised glances may seem ordinary and familiar tomorrow.
It is only worth noting that such shoes still look quite bold, even provocative. You should not wear it to business meetings or to the office. Combining creepers with formal clothes is not difficult, and most often such experiments are successful, but first make sure that such a non-standard fashion move will not shock your business partners, colleagues and superiors.
