Lace-up boots

Lacing excites the minds of everyone. She not only looks stylish, but also serves the practical purpose of keeping the shoe on the foot. Lace-up boots look impressive, and the taller the boots, the more impressive they make. Their history is rooted in ankle boots, footwear for soldiers and hunters, which provided maximum protection. In the middle of the twentieth century, the fashion industry turned its gaze to such boots, making it a must-have for everyone.

Each new season, more and more various models of women's lace-up boots appear on the shelves. Different styles, lengths, heels, color, lace style and their visibility are in fashion every now and then. A huge assortment allows you to choose a pair to your liking, because it is quite possible to find such boots that will satisfy all tastes.

First of all, it is worth deciding on the type of sole, giving preference to either catchy, bold, but not entirely comfortable stilettos, or convenient and practical flat options.

There are also intermediate types - the heel does not have to be thin or very high. Boots with stable thick heels or low square heels are popular. In addition, there is a wedge and platform, which, in combination with the heel, makes the climb quite bearable.

When choosing, you should also think about the height of the shoe itself. Ankle boots will look perfect on any foot. It should be remembered that the higher the height of the bootleg, the higher the owner should be. Unfortunately, long models are simply not suitable for short girls, visually shortening their leg. One of the most common styles is the average height, up to about the middle of the lower leg.

Treads deserve special attention, because the height of their bootlegs allows the most effective use of laces. Often they do not even carry any practical value, remaining a decorative element. The most popular models are with laces at the front, but there are laces at the back or double. The laces can run the entire length or be present only on a separate part.

Boots are classified according to seasonality. Summer models are as open as possible, with a large number of cutouts and are made of light soft materials so that the legs do not overheat.

Demi-season options for spring and autumn are most often of medium length with a full range of different soles.

Winter shoes are made mainly with stable, low heels, as snow and ice increase the chances of slipping. Winter boots are always insulated and should be as close to the foot as possible to provide warmth and protection from the wind.

The most common materials used for sewing footwear are suede and leather, both natural and artificial. Some models are occasionally decorated with inserts of textiles, denim, satin, lace, fur.

As for the colors, in this lace-up boots are no different from other shoes. The most popular are black, gray brown shades, and in summer models - white and beige. As for the bright colors, it all depends on the current fashion trends.

There are two ways to use laces on your boots.

• In the first case, they help the shoe to keep well on the foot, thanks to the ability to adjust the size of the bootleg.
• In the second, it is a bright, eye-catching decorative element that is so independent that other decorations are rarely used with it. In addition to adjusting the width of the bootleg, the lacing makes it easier to put on or take off the tall boots.

Laces may vary in texture, thickness and overall style. They are classic, like twine or satin ribbons. They can be completely invisible if the color matches the boots or, conversely, shout about the individuality of their owner, if they are contrasting, bright, neon colors.

Loops and eyelets, into which laces are threaded, are most often silver, gold or black. Placement is possible not only in front or behind, but also oblique.

• Short girls are advised to wear low boots with heels, so as not to visually shorten themselves and add a couple of centimeters of growth. Medium height allows for medium length wear.
• Long-legged ones can easily wear boots with the highest tops, but not the heels. The choice also depends on the general style of clothing, the personal preferences of each woman and the situations in which the boots will be worn.
• For work and activity, you should choose shoes with small heels or flat soles, and you can go out or appear at an evening event in high heels and stiletto heels.

Depending on the model, boots can look perfect in different styles - casual, biker, romantic... It should be remembered that high boots with lacing are an active element of the image, so you should be more restrained with the rest of the details of your wardrobe.First of all, this rule applies to over-the-knee boots and boots from the middle of the lower leg and above.

Boots of medium length, as well as short ones, can be easily worn with raincoats, casual and oversized coats, leather jackets, down jackets, parkas. The flat sole allows you to create street youth bows, and the heel adds femininity to even the most daring look with a leather jacket. High boots require a little more rigor, so it is best to choose a coat and short fur coat for them. The length of the outerwear should not hide the upper part of the boots, otherwise it should be worn wide open.

Boots are versatile shoes that can be worn with jeans, skirts, dresses. A short height will allow you to choose jeans of any style, but if the boot is high, then it will be most comfortable in skinny and tight-fitting models. Regardless of the presence of heels, an interesting look can be made with feminine dresses made of knitwear, satin, yarn.

In the cold season, together with skirts and dresses, you should wear thickened tights, which add romance and comfort to the image. There are no restrictions on clothes from above, the choice should depend on the overall picture. In one case, tops and T-shirts with bright prints will be appropriate, in the other comfortable elongated shirts, and in the third, sweaters and elegant blouses.
