Women's rubber boots

Frequent autumn rains and slush do not in the best way affect the condition of women's shoes. But today this is not a big problem, since modern fashion offers girls such a wonderful solution as stylish rubber boots. Moreover, some women of fashion are ready to wear these things even in sunny weather - they look so presentable.

If we turn to the most distant times, then we learn that the first rubber products appeared in South America during the time of the Indians. The natives found out about the special properties of rubber (and rubber is made from it): they immersed their feet in this liquid substance, and when it dried out, a kind of "rubber boots" appeared on the body. By the way, in a similar way, the Indians made raincoats for themselves, dipping fabric into rubber.

The immediate predecessor of rubber boots are galoshes, which appeared in Russia about 150 years ago - they were brought into our country by the German manufacturer Fernand Krauzkolf. The purpose of this shoe was to protect the feet from slush (which was a common occurrence in view of the broken roads), but it did not look very pretty. But nevertheless, such products were quite in demand, because they did not allow feet to get wet and freeze.

Over time, the dull galoshes have changed. Hollow heel options appear especially for demanding fashionistas. But in general, their design was still uninteresting, only children's models looked bright.

The 21st century is a time when the attitude of designers to rubber shoes has radically changed. Elegant options appear on wedges, platforms and even heels. Today women's rubber boots can be found in the most incredible colors and rich decor.

Rubber products have a lot of advantages. The most important thing is, of course, that such shoes do not get wet, and therefore protects us from colds and other unpleasant consequences.

Leaving rubber products near a battery or other heating device may deform.

Modern rubber boots can really look luxurious. A wide boot and a massive rounded nose have replaced the classic models with strict lines. Such elegant, sophisticated shoes make legs look slimmer, and the image is unusually feminine and effective.

Fashionable rubber boots can have a different design of the sole. The traditional flat is very practical. For girls of short stature, a high platform is suitable. Stylish solution - options on a wedge. Tall rubber models with a heel, which is quite high, look impressive.

There are options stylized to resemble natural leather (especially lacquered), including crocodile, and combined products look stylish - for example, in which only the bottom is made of rubber, and the bootleg is leather or raincoat.

Since designers suggest wearing these shoes on sunny days, special summer transparent options are being developed for these purposes, often decorated with zippers.

Lacing, rhinestones, satin ribbons, chains, massive metal buckles are also often used as a decoration for women's rubber boots. Some products look very glamorous. There are also cool youth options - basically this effect arises due to a kind of print (fruit and berry motifs or, for example, a skull).

As already mentioned, the winter options are equipped with insulation, and the spring-summer ones have a knitted base. Warm boots are usually equipped with a thicker sole, which also protects against hypothermia. Note that a removable inner sock sometimes plays the role of insulation.

Rubber boots are now found in a wide variety of lengths. Cropped versions resemble ankle boots in shape - this is a great solution for autumn. As already mentioned, the shortest models are outwardly similar to sneakers.

Longer options tend to have a narrower boot and look more elegant. It is on them that a zipper and various kinds of decor are most often found.

Today, any woman of fashion has the opportunity to purchase rubber boots according to her taste and color. These are all kinds of monochrome options: classic black and white, also red, green, yellow, orange, blue - the list goes on for a long time. Made in a bright juicy color, especially long rubber boots will draw attention to women's legs, emphasizing their slenderness. Neutral shades are also in vogue - delicate pink and cream tones, often such models are additionally decorated with ribbons and miniature buckles.

These shoes are often printed with cute florals or polka dots, or more daring leopard print. There is also a rather funny pattern - for example, a fruit and berry theme or bright abstract stains. Imitation lace looks exquisite (especially black on a gray background).

As for the raw materials from which rubber boots are made, in addition to rubber itself, a less durable rubber can be used (by the way, rubber is its derivative, it is obtained by adding some chemical elements) or lighter silicone.

The combination of textures also looks original. For example, boots for fall might have a rubber bottom paired with a sheer top. Rubber can also bond with leather or textiles - these tend to be warmer.

According to customers, short models are not very comfortable - water can get inside. But the high options provide a wonderful opportunity to calmly "fly up" to the office or walk in the rain with an interesting person, without thinking about the fact that you need to step over the puddles.

Of course, the owners of rubber shoes are pleased that they are easy to care for - all you need is water and a sponge.

It is impossible not to mention also some negative aspects. Rubber boots bring some inconvenience in terms of storage - after a while, the objects around them begin to smell like rubber.

For some, rubber shoes seem heavy, and after a three-hour walk, their feet start to ache.

Finding the right rubber boots is not an easy task. In order not to be mistaken with the choice, adhere to the following tips.

• Buy a product one size larger than yours, do not expect that over time the boots will stretch like other shoes. No matter how beautiful the boots are, tight rubber is capable of transmitting small capillaries, which leads to unpleasant consequences.

• Since rubber does not allow air to pass through, and your feet can ache, then wear these shoes with a removable stocking (an alternative can be socks made from natural raw materials - wool or cotton). Also, be aware that rubber can cause allergies.
• Consider the relief of the sole: if it is washed out, it means that the boots are made of low quality rubber, soft. Such a sole can quickly wear off. Also, make sure there are no bulges or dents. Good boots have thick and flexible soles.

• When it comes to color choices, keep in mind that solid neutrals (black and white, gray and flesh) will work with anything. If you find smudges, it means that the technology was violated during the production of boots.
• Note that rubber shoes are heavier than silicone or PVC boots.

• Rubber boots should contain a minimum of seams as this is a potential leak point. In quality products, the seams are carefully finished and barely noticeable. Also, make sure there are no scratches, punctures or stains on the surface of the shoe.
• The lining of the boots must be firmly glued to the base. Also check that it is not dyed - wipe it off with a damp cloth (traces of paint can ruin your clothes).

By combining rubber boots with different wardrobe items, you can create a variety of stylish looks.

Jeans of any style look good with this shoe. Skinny skinny options can be tucked into boots. You can also wear plain or variegated trousers. Cropped trousers and breeches are combined with shoes with a stable heel.

High-top rubber boots look great in combination with shorts of any style: both close-up and with more loose ones. Leggings or stockings will help make the ensemble more stylish.

Styles with a wide leg can be combined with leggings - your legs will be visually slimmer.

For the top of such ensembles, choose sweaters, T-shirts, T-shirts, cardigans. Layering looks stylish. On top you can throw a jacket, coat or raincoat in a casual style.

It is quite possible to wear a skirt or dress with rubber boots, while combine shoes with heels with short outfits, and with long ones - options on a platform or flat. At the same time, choose tights in plain or colored - depending on the color of the shoe.

A very stylish urban look. Its highlight is a short dress in folk style. These clothes are complemented by a light dark beige windbreaker and tights in a fashionable mocha shade.
