Eye-catching decorative finish

Women's shoes, autumn 2015

The main novelty of the coming season is shoes with catchy decorative finishing. Monochromatic models do not attract attention these days; they look like they have been seen a thousand times already. And shoes decorated with decor are something new! She immediately catches your eye and makes you take a closer look at her.

Look at the models shown in the picture. Their styles seem to be familiar: these are ankle boots with low or medium heels. But how the decor transforms them! Thanks to him, they immediately become interesting and unusual.

The most popular finish is snakeskin. This is the hit of the season! Boots can be made entirely of it, or it serves only as a decorative finish.

Another fashionable finish is silver leather (see star model). She is very fashionable this season. Shoes can be made entirely from it, or it can be used for decoration.
Leopard print is also still popular (see model below right).

Wide top, shoes seem too big

A trendy detail for the coming season are boots and ankle boots with a wide top, as if they are too big and the leg is “dangling” in them (see two models at the top right). This was not done by accident, but deliberately, this is the current trend. In such shoes, the foot looks graceful and touching.

Another stylish detail: the zipper located at the back. It appeared in previous seasons, but still remains in tune with the spirit of fashion.

Most heels on fashionable shoes, boots and ankle boots are stacked. Their shape is quite stable and their height is moderate.

Brutal style is still relevant

Women's shoes autumn 2015

Shoes in a brutal style continue to be popular. Well, given our climate, it will be in demand for a long time. Its characteristic details are a deliberately thick sole and a rough nose, round and high.

Pay attention to the side elastic bands, allowing you to put on the boots without fastening. Fashionable nuance: this season, elastic is often made in a contrasting color, making it stand out.

Boots inspired by loafers

In the coming season, boots similar to loafers will be in trend. Their main features are a tongue that goes up the instep, a jumper, fringe, a thick sole and a “school” heel (see picture, models in the bottom row).
Please note that there are also side elastic bands here.

These loafer boots look completely new. I can imagine that they will become one of the shoe hits of the coming season.

London style lace-up shoes

Women's shoes, autumn 2015

Another fashion trend is lace-up shoes, boots, ankle boots, made in the spirit of English fashion of the early 20th century. The classic versions of such shoes are called “Oxfords”. Characteristic details: lace-up fastening, pointed toe vamp, contoured hole trim.

In the picture you see models combined from leather of two or three colors. Such models can be made without heels or, conversely, have high heels.
It must be said that such shoes are very demanding in terms of clothing style. It goes best with elegant items and carefully selected accessories. You can't wear them with a casual jacket.

Of course, now, when summer is still reigning, it seems too early to buy autumn shoes. But it’s time to take a closer look at the new products of the coming season in order to determine for yourself what choice you will make when autumn comes into its own.

So, let me remind you of the hottest new items: shoes decorated with leather in contrasting colors, loafer boots and lace-up two-tone oxford models.

If you move the Mary Jane strap from the instep to the ankle and add a vertical strap, you get a tango shoe model. The shoes have a closed high heel, heel and are complemented by a T-strap or criss-cross straps at the instep. The history of the model began in the 1910s, when tango actively conquered Europe and the USA. Passionate movements and forbidden public frankness attracted everyone's attention to the dance. Tango evenings, dance schools and professional pairs of dancers appeared. The shoe industry began producing special shoes that were comfortable, soft, stable and at the same time perfectly kept on the feet even during passionate steps.

Today these shoes are still danced in tango, but they are also worn in everyday life. The meaning of the straps has long been forgotten; they have become a decoration of the model, emphasizing the instep and ankle and beautifully shaping the foot.

Shoes-gloves

Glove shoes, comparable in softness to Czech shoes, are the heroes of the spring-summer season 2017. The shoes received the name glove for the softness of the material from which they are made. Thin elastic leather, comparable in softness to glove leather, makes the shoes unprecedentedly comfortable. In terms of fit on the foot, glove shoes can only be compared with Czech shoes - the shoes in which gymnasts and dancers train. In addition to the softest material, glove shoes are distinguished by the absence of a rigid shape: toe cap, heel and other “frame” parts. Read more in our material.

Oxfords

Oxford shoes are shoes with closed lacing, in which the side parts of the boot (tops) are sewn to the main part (vamp) with a single seam. Even with the laces untied, the Oxfords retain their shape, expanding at the tongue area by only a couple of centimeters.
Oxford shoes came into the women's wardrobe from men's, sometimes appearing in an original masculine form, and sometimes in a feminine, sophisticated format.

Derby

Derby shoes are open-laced shoes in which the side parts (tops) are sewn to the main part (vamp) with a short side seam. The model is easy to put on: when the laces are untied, the side parts move freely to the sides. According to our subjective observations, derby low shoes are found in women's wardrobes more often than oxford low shoes.

Brogues

Monkey

Monks (monks, monkstraps) are low shoes without laces, in which the side buckles play the role of a fastener. Literally translated from English, “monkstraps” means “monk buckles.” They owe their appearance to the monks who wore comfortable shoes with buckles instead of laces.

Loafers

Loafers are shoes that combine a slip-on top with a shoe sole. Several types of loafers give room for imagination, which is why the shoes are one of the most popular in both men's and women's wardrobes. Depending on the decorative elements and the shape of the top, they are divided into penny loafers, loafers with a buckle, with tassels, with fringes, Venetian, Belgian and slippers.

Penny loafers
Penny loafers - a model complemented by a leather strip with a slit. According to legend, students used this decor for their own purposes: they inserted a penny coin into the slot for good luck, from which the name “penny loafers” came.

Loafers with buckle
Buckle loafers originated in the 1930s, when Italian designer Gucci added a snaffle-shaped buckle to the regular model, a part of a horse's harness. Loafers with a buckle buckle loafers (buckle - “buckle”) have the second name “Gucci loafers” after the name of their creator. Modern versions rethink the snaffle: instead you can find decoration in the form of a bamboo stick, a spiral or just a chain.

Loafers with tassels
Loafers with a tassel (tassel loafers) owe their appearance to the American actor Paul Lucas, who, on one of his trips abroad, was fascinated by the tassel ties on the loafers. The worldwide spread of tassel loafers was facilitated by Ivy League students, for whom tassel loafers became an unspoken uniform, fitting perfectly into the school preppy style.

Loafers with fringes
Kiltie loafers are a model that is decorated with wide leather fringe. Loafers are named kilts by analogy with the Scottish national skirt, which vaguely resembles leather strips. The fringe of kilts can be supplemented with a buckle, a tassel, or be an independent detail.

Belgian loafers
Belgian loafers - a model decorated with a small bow. This detail was added by designer Henry Bendel, and he borrowed the shape from the Belgian shoemakers from whom he learned the craft.

Venetian loafers
Venetian loafers are a model that is characterized by a complete lack of decoration. They are called “Venetian” for their resemblance to the laconic form of Venetian gondoliers. By appearance similar to sleepers, but do not have a pronounced tongue shape.

Sleepers
Slippers are shoes with a classic loafer sole and a soft, unadorned upper, often made of velvet or tweed. The protruding tongue with rounded edges can be decorated with embossed or embroidered monograms.

Deserts

Desert boots - ankle-high boots made of suede, nubuck or leather with rubber soles. The name is owed to the British soldiers who fought in them in the sands of Egypt during World War II, as well as to Nathan Clark, who established their production in peaceful conditions under the Clarks brand, after whom this species is often simply called clarks. A distinctive feature is two holes for lacing on each side. If there are more of them, then the desert boots turn into chakka.

Chakka

Chukka boots - ankle-high boots made of suede, nubuck or leather. The name "chakka" comes from the term "chukker" from the polo period. Unlike deserts, chakkas can have any number of holes for lacing. A characteristic feature of chukka boots is the leather sole.

Chelsea

Chelsea boots - above the ankle boots with low heels with rubber inserts on the sides. Elastic inserts allow the boots to maintain a narrow shape at the ankle, while eliminating the need for zippers and lacing. In a woman's wardrobe, Chelsea boots with low heels often become an element of minimalist style in combination with skinny jeans and a leather biker jacket. Ankle boots with heels can also be equipped with elastic, which gives us the right to call them Chelsea ankle boots.

Moccasins

Moccasins (moccasins) - shoes without lacing with soft rubber soles (without heels) or leather with rubber studded inserts. A distinctive feature of moccasins is the prominent seam on the upper part of the shoe, often with an outer overlay. The women's version of moccasins is practically no different from the men's, so they can be called unisex shoes.

Topsiders

Topsiders (boat shoes) - yachtsmen's shoes with a corrugated non-slip sole with a lace around the heel. The name comes from topside - upper deck. The lacing runs dotted along the edge of the upper to ensure a secure fit of the shoe on the foot: comfort and safety for the sailor on wet decks are the main requirements. Historically, the sole of boat shoes was white, which did not leave marks on the snow-white deck of the yacht, but today you can find models of various colors, since white has lost its functional purpose. Like moccasins, boat shoes do not differ in their appearance in the men's and women's versions, therefore they are also a unisex model.

Slip-ons

Not to be confused with sleepers! Slip-ons are a sports model with a smooth top without lacing and a smooth rubber sole. The top can be made of textile or leather, and there are elastic inserts on the sides, which ensure ease and speed of putting on. The shoes are universal in men's and female version, so models of neutral color, if the size is available, can be purchased in any catalog.

Espadrilles

Espadrilles are shoes with a fabric or leather upper and a woven jute sole. The authentic combination of jute and canvas migrated from cheap shoes for plantation workers to the wardrobes of movie stars. Espadrilles inspired creative and free-thinking people, including Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Manolo Blahnik. Yves Saint Laurent added a jute platform to espadrilles, giving us one of our favorite summer pairs - wedges.

Wellingtons

Rubber boots without fasteners - wellington boots - owe their name to their creator, the British commander Arthur Wellesley Wellington. The first models were made of soft leather, and they became rubber only after the invention of rubber and the receipt of a patent for the production of shoes from it. Having survived two world wars, Wellingtons find their immortal form, which is the Green Hunter tall green boots from Hunter Boot Ltd. A fascinating story of global conquest, and use the images of Kate Moss in Wellingtons from the Coachella festivals as inspiration for every day.

Lunokhods

Moon boots are boots and ankle boots that resemble snowboard boots. The name came to the mind of the creator, Italian Giancarlo Zanata, when he saw a poster of astronauts returning from the Moon. The history of the creation of unusual shoes for earthly astronauts. Distinctive features of moonboots are a straight heel line, a thick sole and a super-voluminous nylon upper. The right and left shoes do not differ from each other; there is a fixing lace on top. The popularity of “moon boots” turned out to be so high that the brand name became a household name, giving its name to a whole type of shoe.

Readings

Riding boots come from a time when riding was an indispensable skill. Riding boots were made of soft, dense leather, which served for a long time and at the same time gave the rider the opportunity to control the horse by lightly squeezing its sides. The right to a woman's pair of riding boots was earned by the first female travelers, who abandoned the uncomfortable women's saddle in favor of a practical man's saddle. Modern women's riding shoes can be with low heels or stiletto heels, in the latter version retaining only a vague resemblance to the original. In the wardrobe, ridgings are organically combined with leggings and a voluminous top.

Jackboots

The prototype of jackboots is army boots for riding. Wartime placed its own demands on shoes, therefore, in contrast to soft riding boots, jackboots were reinforced with a metal lining - chain mail sewn into the walls of the boot. The reinforced boot was designed to protect against injury and wounds in battle, and to control the horse, the boot was supplemented with a belt with a spur on the boot. During World War II, jackbutts became part of the uniform of German troops, and therefore still evoke associations with aggression and military style. One of the roughest and most aggressive forms of boots, which some designers, for example, Rick Owens, effectively play on.

Jodhpur

Jodhpur boots - ankle-length boots with round toes, low heels, equipped with straps at the top. Designed for horse riding, the boots were secured to the feet with straps and buckles wrapped around the ankle. If you remove the straps and replace them with an elastic insert, the boots turn into Chelsea boots. In its original form, the jodhpur strap wraps around the ankle and is secured with a buckle to the outside of the boot.

The boots are named after the city of Jaipur (India). In 1897, an Indian polo team led by the son of the Maharaja of Jaipur competed at the Queen Victoria Jubilee races. The players wore traditional costumes which included churidar trousers and short strappy boots. English society appreciated the exotic shoe novelty and replaced its high riding boots with short jodhpurs, combining them with the usual English breeches. In addition to convenience, the new forms were much cheaper to produce, since they required less leather. Today, jodhpurs can have variations with one or more straps that play a decorative role.

Winclippers

Winklepickers are pointy-toed shoes that were all the rage in the '90s and have made a comeback this season. The closest ancestors of the beloved pointed-toed pumps are poulaines, funny shoes with long toes from 15th century engravings, the legend of which you can read in ours. Medieval shoes acquired their modern appearance in the mid-20th century in the wake of the teddy boy style. At the same time, Poulenes received their new name - winclippers, in association with a long needle for removing snails from shells (English: winkle - snail).

Sabo

Sabo - shoes with an open heel and a thick sole. The canonical clog models have a molded platform with a heel and resemble wooden lasts. The ancestors of clogs are Dutch and French wooden shoes. The high sole was supposed to protect the feet from water, manure and fish hooks. The first cheap clogs were carved from a single piece of wood, stuffed with straw to soften them, and worn with thick socks. Today, clogs include any shoes with an open heel, but we still suggest limiting this type of shoe to a massive sole, solid or with a stable heel. The toe of the model can be either open or closed.

Mules

The name “mules” did not appear yesterday, but we learned about it. Mules entered European fashion in 1694, when Countess D'Olonne appeared at a church service in bright red brocade shoes without a backdrop with neat heels. A little later, both the famous Madame de Pompadour and Queen Marie Antoinette herself began to wear frivolous shoes in public. Centuries later, at the instigation of Marilyn Monroe, mules became an integral part of pin-up style looks, and today, laconic options with a wide leather stripe on the top have entered the everyday wardrobe. More elegant than clogs but just as comfortable, mules pair equally well with dresses, jeans and minimalist culottes.

Grandmothers

Babouches are soft shoes without heels or heels, a kind of leather house slippers. The homeland is the African continent, where slippers were made from textiles. In the hippie era of the 60s, grandmothers came into fashionable wardrobes, fitting into the philosophy of freedom and closeness to nature. A distinctive feature of the look is the heel, which is not only absent from the design of the shoe, but, as if worn out, is embedded inside. Babushki can be leather, textile, woven from straw or combined.

Roman sandals

The oldest shoes for areas with hot climates - Ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean. Roman sandals (roman sandals) were universal unisex footwear. The cork sole was attached to the feet using leather or woven straps that literally tied the sole to the feet. Today, sandals are open-toed shoes with flat soles or platforms that are held on the feet with straps or laces.

High heels that stay on your feet with satin ribbons or leather laces.

Slingbacks (slingbacks) - name sandals with closed toe and open heel with jumper. The name comes from a combination of the English words sling (strap, strap) and back (back, back). Essentially, slingbacks are a type of sandal; they can be high-heeled or low-heeled, with a pointed toe, rounded or square.

One of the first slingback models was presented by Christian Dior in 1947; they complemented the looks of his famous collection, which gave rise to the New Look style. Like dresses Christian Dior, slingbacks became an elegant alternative to closed shoes - something that women of the post-war era so lacked.
​
Ten years later, in 1957, beige slingback shoes with a black toe appeared. The author of the two-color masterpiece was Gabrielle Chanel. Many style icons of the last century fell in love with the elegant model; even Princess Diana couldn’t resist. Chanel's black and beige mid heel with jumper heel is timeless and we still wear versions of them today.

Sliders

Sliders are the name of flip-flops with a wide bridge (from the English slide - sliding). The shoe got its name by analogy with the movement we use to put on flip-flops: we “slip” our feet without making any effort.
​
Sliders were popular in the 90s as shoes for the beach and pool. With the return of nineties fashion, flip-flops appeared in the collections of Puma, Rihanna, and in the wardrobes of models and stars. The new generation of sliders has already broken all the rules: they were made winter-friendly, adding fur; turned into an evening model by adding rhinestones; They started wearing them with sweatpants, socks and even silk dresses. Sliders made of transparent plastic are sometimes called “soap boxes” - another hello from the 90s, when shoes made of soft, jelly-like plastic were popular at pools and on beaches.

Slouchy

Slouches (from the English slouch - to hang down, to fall) are boots with a boot that gathers in soft folds on the leg. The model was popular in the 1980s and returned to the catwalks in 2017-2018.

According to the model, slouches can refer to different types of boots: with a wedge-shaped heel, stiletto heels, high tubes with a stable heel. What unites them all is a soft and fairly wide boot, which forms folds of varying intensity. In the USSR, a model of boots with a gathered, loose top was called “boots with an accordion.”
​
The “slouch” effect can complement not only high-top models, but also ankle boots and ankle boots: if the top is straight and high enough, it can already form folds.

Tube boots

The boots got their name from the similarity of the shape to a pipe: the boot is straight from the base to the edge; in the standard models, a straight line can be drawn from the heel to the top of the shoe.

Straight, wide boots do not fit close to the calf and ankle, and most often do not have a zipper or laces. To keep the boot in shape, it is made of thick leather. Soft thin leather and suede in such models will not be able to create a “pipe” shape and will fold like an accordion, which will turn them into slouches.

The straight shape of the shaft is typical for jockey boots, which have a low wide heel or an almost even flat sole. Today, pipes are popular in the format of knee-length boots with high thick heels. The model can be worn with either mini or midi length, as well as skinny jeans.

Hikers

Hiker, hiking boots - footwear for mountaineering and mountain tourism. The shoes are defined by characteristic elements: non-slip grooved sole, thick impregnated leather or water-repellent membrane fabric, metal eyelets, loops and lacing brackets, durable laces. Hikers entered the everyday wardrobe thanks to the fashion for tourist style and rough shoes.

Metal eyelets increase the service life of shoes: durable laces will quickly fray leather holes. The loops allow the laces to move freely without pinching your foot during movement. The staples regulate the fit of the boot without re-lacing: just remove the laces from 1-2 loops at the top and distribute their length. Practical and comfortable in hiking conditions, these details have lost their meaning in everyday shoes, becoming elements of style. Hikers there may be boots, sneakers and even high-heeled ankle boots.

The love for massive shoes with thick soles can be explained by the climate of our country: in snow, slush and ice there is nothing better than non-slip, warm and reliable hikers.
