High top boots

The legs of a modern person are in shoes on average for 8-12 hours per day. Therefore, comfort is the first thing people demand from shoes. True, some of the fair sex rather neglect convenience (and even health) for the sake of a spectacular image. And what about those who do not want to sacrifice either practicality or style? Are there any shoes that harmoniously combine both?

There are such shoes! These are high-top boots.

High-top boots were originally designed for the army. The main advantage of such shoes is that it is a universal footwear for movement in any conditions, according to any type of terrain. They do not rub, do not slip, keep feet warm and dry. Bertsy reliably fix a shin, protecting an ankle from injuries, but, at the same time, keeping their mobility.

Here is the classic model of an army boot:

• The steady corrugated sole will help not to slip into the ice.
• No need after each winter walk to dry insoles and warm frozen feet!
• And in the summer you can not bypass the puddles.

Another feature of high-top boots is that some of them come with a metal toe and an insole to protect against punctures.

Bertsy do not lose their shape, even if all passengers of the crowded subway are trampled on them. A reinforced nose and heel also help protect the leg from injury.

Boots with high berets were included in the urban fashion as footwear for the “dark half of the year” - from September to March. These shoes keep warm well and do not get wet in wet weather. Winter models are in great demand also because snow does not fall into them. And not so long ago there were also lightweight modifications for summer wear.

Models are more conservative in design, and differ mainly in functionality:

• Boots for special purposes: for military personnel, emergency workers, heavy industry enterprises.
• Civil boots based on army design: for hunters, fishermen and tourists. Warm waterproof boots for winter. Qualitative models are made from natural chrome or yuft leather, less often suede.
• Athletic boots: trekking boots, boots for rock climbers, motorcycle boots (the latter are increasingly being released without lacing and with a more rigid lower leg fixation)
• Boots for everyday wear.

Female models have a more elegant design, and a variety of jewelry options. The main types of female berets consider below.

These are the warmed models of women's high boots. Practical and feminine.

These boots look like army boots. Warm and waterproof, they are ideal for winter walks. Bundes shoes are made of genuine leather, which retains heat well in the cold. And inserts from thermoplastic in a heel and a sock additionally protect from cold. Bundes are usually produced in black, but they are also available in sandy - beige tones. There are even Bundes - boots (they are especially valued by women - the military).

Not afraid of water and high humidity. Perfect for hiking, sports and other outdoor activities. The heavy, thick jungle sole is suitable for rainy weather like no other. Another plus of this model is valves or membranes, due to which the shoes are quickly dried right on the foot.

There are so that the legs feel as comfortable as possible in the heat.Thanks to a special membrane, excess moisture is removed and the feet do not sweat. Desert berets are usually painted in sand, beige or gray.

Super lightweight, or berets-sandals - a comfortable and stylish thing. They can be glossy and matte, any color and from any material. With open toe, heel or sides. Because of this, the foot breathes better. Laces, straps, metal elements, and everything can decorate summer shoes.

Unisex models are divided into three main categories:

• Sport boots Storm. Externally similar to sneakers and have bright colors. These shoes are designed for those who like to travel, play sports and prefer active leisure to passive. The sole and lacing are classic, the height of the berets is average. Boots Storm differ from ordinary berets in light weight.
• Winter boots unisex.
• Reptiles. High boots like army, but the most diverse colors and decor. Popular among the informal youth. But not only! Reptiles are both world-famous “Grinders” and comfortable Polish “Break Free”. Quality shoes with high berets released recognized master of comfort, the company Rieker. And the famous "Dr. Martens ”has already firmly entered the category of unfading classics.

Before buying berets, you need to decide where and when you will wear them. The first criterion, of course, is seasonality. Warm leather and suede models are better to wear in winter, and in the summer to take lightweight berets or the same jungle.

Next, pay attention to the stiffness of the sole. The softer the sole, the more comfortable it will be for you to walk. In addition, on a thinner sole, there is less risk of delamination in the heel area.

Speaking of lacing: some models of berets are quite high, and at the same time do not have a zipper on the side. Sometimes the tops reach the knee - that's about twenty holes on each side of the lacing. So think ahead if you have time to lace up such tall shoes, or better take it with a zipper.

When choosing leather berets, it is better to avoid shiny and other types of coating, since they will crack quite quickly. But this again depends on the brand of manufacturer. For example, the metallized coating of berets Predator does not abrade even after three years of active wear.

Check for the presence or absence of all possible gains - weights. If there is no practical need for them, then such berets can be taken solely for love. Be prepared for the rather heavy weight of the enhanced handsome. It can reach two kilograms per leg. However, you quickly get used to this weight, and young ladies with excessively thin legs, such “weighting” can become a useful simulator.

Before buying, also carefully inspect the seam that secures the sole to the shoe. If you see them two or three (more unlikely), then it is better not to take it. Such a sole, as a rule, is not sewn to the shoe, but glued. The worst thing is that it is hollow and can easily leak. From above the shoes will still look good, but you will have to forget about any comfort.

There should be only one seam.

And last but not least: you should like the shoes and style. Therefore, think in advance about what you will wear them.

The first thing that immediately comes to mind when you think about the berets is the military style. So, in combination with a coat or a raincoat with epaulettes or khaki pants, these boots will look just stunning.

Lightweight berets will also be perfect for a safari style: a light T-shirt, shorts and deserted berets will create an image of a city hunter who can be balanced with a hat and complemented with ornaments in ethnic style.

Berets will suit the taste and adherents of the boho style, with its multi-layered, fluffy skirts and aesthetics of freedom.

Coats and coats of straight cut will emphasize the style of a confident woman, knitted scarves and cardigans will add a touchiness to the image. A long warm sweater with a colorful or bright monochromatic color will give a homely softness, especially if you emphasize his romantic - casual hairdo.

Of course, it’s a sin not to wear bracelets with leather goods!

But the berets in combination with the dress will not make the image heavier, but on the contrary - they will create a feeling of incredible lightness, as if only shoes keep you on the ground. In this contrast, it is easy to play, observing the rule: the rougher the shoes, the more tender and feminine the clothes should be.

Men wear high boots with any clothes. Consideration should be given only to the appropriateness of the situation and the color combination. For example, it is better not to combine them with a business style. The image will be more expressive if you add it with bright accessories: for example, a scarf or a hat.
