Wedge ankle boots
It is customary to call ankle boots a shoe model that is a cross between shoes and boots. Most often, ankle boots cover only the ankles, leaving the calves open. Such shoes are most popular in the winter and demi-season, but designers every year suggest looking at the summer models of ankle boots.
Features and Benefits
Wedge ankle boots have been relevant for more than the first season, but retain their fashionable position largely due to the love of a large number of women for this model. Wedge ankle boots are not only stylish, but also incredibly comfortable and stable, which is especially important for winter models. In the spring-autumn period, high wedge ankle boots are gaining popularity, because they allow you to easily overcome slush and puddles, keeping your feet dry. At the same time, wedge ankle boots, like models with heels, increase height, stretch the silhouette and help create a feminine image.
If you set a goal and pick up ankle boots with a high wedge heel made of foamed rubber, wood or rubber, not covered with leather or suede, then such models will be as easy to clean as possible and will last more than one season, while maintaining their original appearance.
This shoe model is universal and will suit girls of different ages and with different body types. It should be noted that the owners of thin legs and thin ankles are better off turning their attention to less voluminous and bulky models. For girls with curvy shapes, massive shoes with high wedges will help to visually balance the silhouette.
I would also like to note the special comfort of the models of ankle boots with tractor soles. Made of polyurethane foam, it has particularly high shock-absorbing properties.It will be as comfortable as possible to walk in such ankle boots.
Models
Designers develop wedge ankle boots in various styles, playing with textures, color and shape of wedges, adding decorations and decor. The material of the heel also greatly influences the style and design of wedge ankle boots. The most popular wedge ankle boots are made of foamed rubber, wood or cork, covered with leather or suede to match the upper part.
The following models can be distinguished:
- on a low wedge heel without a platform;
- on a very high massive wedge heel;
- on a wedge heel with a bevel or notch under the heel;
- on a wedge heel with a large internal platform;
- on a wedge heel with a stiletto heel.
Pointed toe models are gaining popularity this season, although pointed ankle boots are still very common.
Both laconic wedge ankle boots and richly decorated ones are in fashion. Trends are metal rivets and spikes, fringes made of leather or suede, trimming from sheepskin or strips of fluffy natural fur. As decorative elements, designers use large tractor zippers and numerous straps, often not carrying a functional purpose.
Materials (edit)
Leather ankle boots are most popular among customers, because they are more practical and will last for more than one season. Such footwear is comfortable and comfortable, allows the foot to breathe and does not chafe. Both demi-season models on a bike and models with natural fur or sheep wool lining are widespread.
Black suede wedge ankle boots have become a classic model that can be found in the collections of various brands every season. Today, designers are expanding the range of suede ankle boots not only with natural reddish-brown shades, but also with bright saturated colors: indigo, bottle green and orange-red.
Summer models of ankle boots are also presented mainly from leather, however, on the surface of which there are inserts from a large mesh or lace. This season, perforated leather wedge ankle boots are in vogue.
Ankle boots made from denim are summer models. Designers use curly cutouts, make the toe or heel open. Often such models of ankle boots have a rich or even pretentious decor of beads, rhinestones, lace and stripes. In this season, models made of jeans with frayed or "boiled" are relevant.
Manufacturers
The most interesting models of wedge ankle boots this season are found in the collections of Corso como, Chloe and Baden. The CorsoComo booties emphasize the wedge heel with a small platform and a very high heel. The models reflect the tendencies of the world shoe fashion - laces in contrasting colors and the color of "pottery clay", and some ankle boots I want to highlight for the unusual texture of the leather and black leather with a silvery sheen.
Models of the Chloe brand are strikingly different: they look neat, stylish and small. Chloe designers use a low wedge heel with low heels, making ankle boots as comfortable as possible for fashionistas with an active lifestyle. From the fashion trends in this collection, I would like to note the white sheepskin trim and color palette that corresponds to the recommendations of the Pantone Color Institute for the current season.
Baden shoes are characterized by a laconic and classic design. Black low wedge ankle boots will be as comfortable, lightweight and easy to clean as possible. They are suitable for those who do not like excessive brightness and creativity in shoe design.
Fashion trends
Shoe fashion this season is very rich in new trends and directions. Ankle boots with transparent plexiglass inserts in the wedge area visually transform it into a kind of heel and give the shoe more lightness.
Wedge ankle boots, made with fur outside, the trend is not practical, but ultra-fashionable and extravagant.Perhaps designers will soon adapt these shoes for everyday wear.
Shoes with “tails” and other voluminous heel decorations are at the forefront of fashion. Designers are increasingly offering this style, although it has not yet entered street fashion.
Designers create fashion items, not just for everyday wear. Among shoe designers, creativity is increasingly common, bordering on freakiness and fashion madness. Looking at such shoes, we often ask ourselves: is it design for the sake of design, or are these shoes worn by the most extravagant and daring fashionistas? Or maybe it is these fashion trends that the future belongs to? Fashion designers love to experiment with wedge ankle boots, exaggeratedly changing their shape or richly decorating. Laura Papp's massive white ankle boots amaze with the decor of the wedges: the designer used lace and liquid porcelain in her work.
Fancy ankle boots from Jeffrey Campbell also attract attention: an ornate detail instead of a laconic deaf wedge heel makes the ankle boots look more like the work of an architect or sculptor than a fashion designer.
What to wear with?
The options for wearing ankle boots are very diverse. We can say that these are universal shoes, among which every fashionista can choose a suitable model for herself. Wedge ankle boots in a laconic style go well with a coat. In this case, it is best to choose trousers of a tight or semi-tight silhouette, then this will visually increase the length of the legs and make you slimmer. For a coat in combination with a skirt, it is best to choose tights to match the ankle boots.
With a short leather jacket or a cropped sheepskin coat and jeans, ankle boots on a low wedge heel with lacing will look great.
Wedge ankle boots are those shoes that look most impressive with a park. To create different looks, you can wear low wedge ankle boots with fur decor or fringe with jeans, as well as leather models with metal inserts with fluffy skirts.

An interesting and stylish combination will be a combination of wedge ankle boots with a tractor sole and a free poncho or cape with jeans and a felt hat. This set is perfect for long walks in the spring.
