It is customary to call ankle boots a shoe model that fits the ankle, but does not cover the calf.... Most often these are demi-season shoes. Although today they produce models of ankle boots for the winter season, and even summer ankle boots.
The very word ankle boots is borrowed from the French language. 'Botillions' literally translates to short boots.

A massive high sole with a pronounced relief is called a tractor sole. Its height can be up to 10 cm. Today, such a sole is a trend. It is presented both in fashionable designer collections and in mass-market stores. Boots, boots, loafers and even shoes and sandals have a rough, embossed 'tractor' sole this season. Ankle boots have not been spared this fashion trend either.
Tractor sole was popular in the 70s and 90s of the XX century. And she returned to fashion last year.

Peculiarities
Tractor-soled shoes, despite the apparent bulkiness, are comfortable, unknown and practical. The modern 'tractor' sole is made of polyurethane foam. This material is very lightweight and provides excellent cushioning. And the genuine leather or suede upper allows your feet to breathe and keeps them warm.

These ankle boots are suitable for girls with different types of figures. For curvy women, tractor-soled shoes will add extra inches of height and balance the silhouette. Only girls of a very fragile physique should choose tractor-soled ankle boots with caution - we recommend giving preference to less massive models.

Models
Models of ankle boots are distinguished by the principle of putting them on:
- lace-up. This season, we can see non-standard lacing options - the laces are not just tied, but also pre-tricked several times around the bootleg.
- with elastic inserts like chelsea boots or slip-ons.Designers usually use large inserts. They are also a decorative element.
- with a zipper. For ankle boots with tractor soles, coarse metallized zippers are often selected to maintain the correct balance of proportions.

Another criterion for distinguishing between the models of ankle boots is the shape of the tractor sole. On the catwalks we can see ankle boots
- with a very high thick heel;
- on a low heel formed by a notch in the sole itself;
- flat, platform.

Tractor-soled ankle boots are distinguished by a wide variety of decor. Massive belts with metal buckles are at the peak of popularity this season. Ankle boots with elements of contrasting color do not go out of fashion either. Designers create contrast by using white laces, white soles or white stitching in the décor of black shoes.

Summer models of ankle boots have a white tractor sole, regardless of the color of the upper. So the designers increase the emphasis on ankle boots, attract additional attention to them, and also lighten their appearance. Cutouts and curly slots are used as decor for summer models.

Also, in the spring, the trend of metallic leather and ankle boots completely covered with sparkling rhinestones will remain popular.

Reviews
Judging by customer reviews, it can be noted that tractor-soled ankle boots are distinguished by convenience, lightness, and durability. They keep your feet dry during the fall and spring season. The durable and resistant sole prevents dirt and water from getting on the leather elements of the shoe, which, of course, allows tractor-soled ankle boots to maintain their original appearance for longer with minimal maintenance.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/01/botilony-na-traktornoj-podoshve-68.jpg)
They help to increase height and stretch the silhouette and, unlike ankle boots with thin heels or stiletto heels, do not put a serious burden on the legs. You can use them for a walk in the park or for long-term shopping with your friends.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/01/botilony-na-traktornoj-podoshve-69.jpg)
Of the minuses, customers note that these shoes are quite rough, and it is difficult for them to organically fit them into their wardrobe.

- Ankle boots in pastel colors go well with delicate spring dresses. Both laconic shirt dresses and flying chiffon dresses with an emphasis on the waist are suitable.

Ankle boots with socks in a contrasting color or tone-on-tone look pretty girlish. This technique can be used with skinny jeans as well as skirts and dresses. For girls in Russia, such a combination is still considered controversial and borders on tastelessness, but fashionistas from Europe and Asia have long made socks with ankle boots a part of street fashion. You should be careful with this trend - long socks can visually shorten your legs, and bulky socks, covering the ankle, can make your legs visually fuller than they really are.

These bows are distinguished by their designer boldness. They allow you to take a look at the tractor-sole ankle boots from the other side. Here stylists do not try to disguise or neutralize the roughness and massiveness of the shoe, but rather emphasize it. They make shoes a bright accent of the whole bow as a whole. In addition, looking at this selection, you can see how tractor-soled ankle boots can be combined with trousers and leggings, dresses and skirts, trying different styles and creating different silhouettes.
