• women's boots
A pair of well-fitting, comfortable boots can be invaluable in almost any wardrobe. They're great because they're so versatile. Boots can be worn with skirts or jeans, and with dressy or casual outfits.
Types of women's boots include dress boots, casual boots, work boots, and winter boots. Styles include ankle boots, mid-length boots, tall boots, knee high boots, and thigh high boots. Boots never really go out of fashion. High heel boots come in a stunning array of designs, textures, heights and colors and shopping for them can be a daunting experience. Casual boots can be worn when you take a trip outdoors, on errands, and around town.
Ankle boots come up to the ankle or lower leg and have become extremely popular for women. They are designed to look formal and can be worn as office wear. Ankle boots with a flat heel are the most versatile of all styles. These boots can be found in leather, suede, patents, fabrics, and synthetics. They are usually cost significantly less than their taller relatives. When worn with pants or jeans, ankle boots give the appearance of tall ones, without the added bulk. Only when you're walking in puddles or in a blizzard do you want to tuck your pants into short boots of any type. They are best worn with colored nylons, tights, or leggings to avoid blisters.
Knee high boots are boots that rise to the knee, or slightly below. Knee highs have existed in the fashion world since at least the 1950s. They come in all materials, including leather. Many have a zipper closure. Many of these women's boots have a substantial heel built into them, from 3 inches and up. Black is a popular color.
Thigh high boots, also known as thigh length boots and thigh boots, extend above the knees. They are made of different materials including leathers and synthetic materials such as vinyl, polyurethane, and latex. Fabric boots may use silk or polyester microfiber. Many have zippers for ease of entry but some are constructed as pull-on boots. Heel heights vary although most are sold either as flats or with heels greater than three inches.
Couture shoe design houses that regularly include thigh boots in their collections are Brian Atwood, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, Stuart Weitzman, and Giuseppe Zanotti.
The ballet boot (left) is the ultimate high heel. The idea (along with the illusion) is to force the wearer's feet almost en pointe, like those of a ballerina, with the aid of long, slender heels. When upright, the feet are held nearly vertical by the heel, thus putting nearly all of the body's weight on the tips of the toes. The heel height is usually 7 inches (18 centimetres) or more. Some styles are equipped with supports similar to the toe box and shank of pointe shoes. The knee-high and thigh-high versions may also have zippers.
Go Go boots are a low heeled style of women's fashion boot worn since the mid-sixties. They are either calf, knee or above knee high boots with a low or flat heel. The style is a very simple shape with a chiseled, rounded or pointed toe. The boot is fastened onto the foot by a side or back zipper or lace-up.
Chukka boots or turf boots, most popular in the late 1940s and 1950s, are ankle-length boots with two or three pairs of eyelets for lacing. They are usually made from calfskin or suede.
