Women's boots with spikes

It is widely known that boots are the most common type of footwear today. They are an integral part of the wardrobe of a modern person, in particular, a city dweller. All this is explained by the fact that during its long history of existence, numbering more than six thousand years, this shoe object has gone through countless modifications and transformations in terms of its purpose and various modifications.

There is now a wide range of footwear models for all seasons and all weather conditions, as well as application environments that can be summed up in one word - boots.

A fairly broad classification has been adopted both by seasons and by spheres of application.

For example:

• for climbers;
• sports;
• spring, autumn or winter.

There is a fairly widespread opinion that shoes are not only a necessity, but also an important component of the image. This rule is successfully observed by both men and women.

How important every detail is in it is taken care of not only by women of fashion, but also by fashion designers. After all, they know very well that women of fashion from time immemorial really wanted to stand out, it is important for designers to accept this challenge and develop something very interesting. For this, it is important to draw inspiration not only from the present, but also from the past, thus giving new life to seemingly long-forgotten trends.

It is not difficult to imagine how diverse the female models of boots are. The range of boots is constantly replenished, regardless of the season and purpose. Despite the fact that it would seem that it is almost impossible to come up with something new here, there is always a place for a miracle - in this case, in the form of unusual and even sensational models.

Spikes have established themselves in the fashion arena as a design element for clothing and footwear for a long time. The fashion for them came from the "era of eclecticism" - the distant 70s of the last century, when many directions of culture were born... Spikes, rivets and other metal details adorned the leather jackets and trousers of bands such as Kiss and Black Sabbath, as well as the clothing of their many fans.

Along with chains and rivets, spikes can be considered popular thanks to the punk culture that emerged in the late 70s and made famous by bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Spikes adorned literally everything - leather jackets, jeans and, of course, lace-up boots with spikes on the platform.

The thorns were used not so much for beauty as with the aim of giving some audacity and positive aggression to the image, drawing a direct parallel with the peculiarities of the musical genre.

One of the first to dare to mix many different styles in their appearance and thereby give the above styles a new life is the world famous singer Lady Gaga.

Spikes appeared on literally all of her clothes, both stage and everyday, on all items of her image - from accessories and shoes to underwear. This image can be seen in detail in her video "Telephone" (2009).

Women's shoes with spikes are available in many variations.

Spikes adorn literally everything - toe, heel, sole, bootleg.

They can even cover the entire surface of the boot! Shoes with spikes are available in all possible variants and in any color, giving the buyer huge opportunities for self-realization.

Recently, a significant step forward has been taken, and thorns, in addition to being a decoration, have become an almost indispensable element of protection during freezing.

Winter boots with spikes on the soles are of particular interest.

The spikes are located on the entire surface of the sole of the shoe, including the heel area, thereby preventing their wearer from slipping and falling on ice, being an indispensable option for residents of the northern regions.

The studs can be hidden as soon as they are no longer needed, thus making the shoe versatile and suitable for different weather conditions. You can even wear them at home if you want!

The thorns acquire a new function - this time, frost protection.

For a long time, shoe developers have been solving the problem of a sole suitable for winter conditions. One of the most common winter soles is the rubber outsole. (like, for example, Dr. Martens or Grinders). However, it has a number of disadvantages, the main one being sliding on ice. Many giants of the shoe industry adhered to alternative sole options - Ecco, Camel, Vibram, Timberland, Rieker and others. This problem is intended to be solved by a number of manufacturers of the new model, including Meindl, Gripforce and others.

The innovative model is the Meindl spike boots. They are "controlled" by a special key located at the back of the boot and readying six studs on the sole. The studs are made of a super-dense alloy, twice the hardness of steel, and the shoe itself is made of sheepskin.

Even more interesting, but still promising, is the model developed by Gripforce. Here, the stud control is already in the inner part of the boot. In the future, the emergence of not one model of boots, but a whole line of winter boots with retractable spikes both for lovers of simple and practical shoes and extremely intricate models.

Obviously, shoes with retractable spikes will revolutionize the footwear market.

The thorns are returning in a completely new role: now, with their help, you can not only make a fascinating journey into the past, feel like a rock star, stand out from the crowd, but also protect yourself from frost and ice. And if desired, both, it all depends on the wishes of the buyer and the chosen model.

All this proves the constant development of the fashion industry, keeping up with the times and meeting the requirements of modern buyers.
