Female oxfords

Oxfords appeared quite a long time ago and are, in fact, a kind of British national footwear, which is called balmoral. This name comes from the name of the British royal castle - Balmoral.

Later, when this model gained unprecedented popularity among students at Oxford University, it became known as oxfords. This type of shoes was a priority among teachers, because the model not only has an official business look, but is also very comfortable, which is also important.

The very first models of oxfords made only from smooth skin of a dark shade, now in production of this type of footwear absolutely heterogeneous materials of all colors known to man are used.

When by the end of the twentieth century, the British style gained the most popularity, oxfords became available for women's wardrobe, which could not but rejoice, because they successfully fit into a variety of women's dresses.

The classic model of oxford looks like a standard men's shoes, from which the model originated initially. The product is made of high-quality leather, has the form of men's shoes with a slightly pointed rounded toe, which is the first and most obvious sign.

This type of shoe has a slightly thin sole, as well as a heel from half to three centimeters, which occupies almost the entire area of ​​the heel part.

Before starting a comparative analysis, it is necessary to determine what kind of shoes it is and only then begin to look for any distinctive features in them. We have already defined oxfords and have described in more detail what kind of shoes, now we will consider the rest.

Derby - represent shoes with lacing, where the element, called berets, is sewn over the part, which is commonly called the vamp. In fact, the vamp is a continuation of the front, toe cap.

Brogues - the peculiarity of this type of footwear can be called a sock cut-off type, as well as the fact that the lacing can be both open and closed.

As you can see, the distinctive features are not so obvious, they are rooted in small details, which rather seriously affect the style of shoes. Therefore, selecting a model in accordance with the nature of the event, it is worth paying special attention to this aspect.

Oxford model lines are much wider than it might seem, because the classic model is a low-heeled shoe, which can often be confused with the attribute of a man’s wardrobe.

Oxfords look quite interesting on the platform, but their uniqueness lies not only in appearance. The fact is that this model is incredibly comfortable and as comfortable as possible for the foot, since the sole is thicker than usual and performs better cushioning functions when walking.

Looks pretty interesting high models with higher sides. Often, this model has a zipper or lacing, which provides the convenience of putting on shoes on the foot. In addition, this model is better suited for cool and rainy weather, because by covering most of the legs, it protects it from rain and dirt.

Oxfords without laces - a relatively new, unusual trend, which may not be as comfortable as it seems at first glance. The fact is that for some girls, with a full leg lift, it may be uncomfortable and difficult to put on tight leather shoes on your leg.

A rather unusual idea - model of insulated and winter oxfords. Autumn and demi-season models are equipped with a thin lining of warm fabric. For example, a thin layer of fleece, fleece or padding polyester. These materials are famous for their insulating functions.

Warmer designed for winter oxfords, have a more serious insulation - a thick layer of natural fur. The use of artificial skin is not advisable for one simple reason - synthetic fibers are not able to warm in cold weather as well as natural skin.

By the way, for mothers who prefer to pick up clothes and shoes for their babies, I’m going off with their own wardrobe, there are baby oxfords for girls in which the child will not only look fashionable, but also feel comfortable.

Of course, the material has an important impact on the appearance of shoes, as well as its functional features and sometimes even the scope. Therefore, if you do not have the opportunity to purchase several pairs of shoes, you should carefully examine all the offers in order to choose the best option.

For example, suede oxfordsAlthough they look very beautiful, they are still not very practical, because suede, even when exposed to the best impregnating agent, still leaks moisture and wears out pretty quickly.

Model from classic genuine leather It is the most common and most used because it is impossible to imagine something more durable and durable than genuine leather.

Of course, the purchase of shoes made of genuine leather is somewhat expensive, and for those who want to save, there are more budget options - leatherette. Leatherette oxfords, although they have a lot of advantages, still have one significant drawback - a low degree of wear resistance.

If you want to surprise those around you with your unusual taste in clothes, we recommend that you purchase velvet or lacquer pattern. Oxfords with a lacquered surface, although they require more careful handling of themselves, still will not leave indifferent neither you, nor your friends, nor the harsh fashion critics.

Perhaps, every girl knows that it is important not only to choose shoes from the appropriate material, but also to provide these shoes with the right, quality care in order to prolong their service life.

• Rubbing, unlike scratches, is fairly easy to remove with the help of specialized tools. If a real scratch appeared on the shoe, unfortunately, it will not work to disguise it.

• Things are much simpler with leather goods, since basic skin care is quite simple. Pollution, even the strongest, is quite simply cleaned with a damp cloth, and so that the skin does not lose its original appearance, you can use special creams and impregnations.
• For the implementation of additional care, you can use special sprays that have a water-repellent effect.

• Suede needs a much more reverent handling and proper care. To clean the material, it is better to use a cloth dipped in soapy water and a special brush with a soft rubber surface.
• In addition, for suede, the use of water-repellent impregnation is necessary, since this material absorbs moisture quickly and dries very long, slightly deforming at the same time.
