Women's shoes with spikes

It is widely known that shoes are the most common type of shoes today. They are an integral part of the wardrobe of a modern person, in particular, a city dweller. All this is explained by the fact that during its long history of existence, which has more than six thousand years, this shoe object has gone through countless modifications and transformations from the point of view of its purpose and various modifications.

Now there is a wide range of models of shoes for any season and all weather conditions, as well as the application environment, which can be combined in one word - shoes.

A fairly broad classification has been adopted, both by season and by application.

For example:

• for climbers;
• sports;
• spring, autumn or winter.

There is a fairly common opinion that footwear is not only a necessity, but also an important component of the image. This rule is successfully followed by both men and women.

Not only women of fashion, but also fashion designers take care of how important every detail is in it. After all, they are well aware that fashionable women from time immemorial really wanted to stand out, it is important for designers to accept this challenge and develop something very interesting. For this, it is important to take inspiration not only in the present, but also in the past, thus giving a new life to seemingly long-forgotten trends.

It is not difficult to imagine how women models of shoes differ in their variety. The model lines of shoes are constantly replenished, regardless of the season and destination. Despite the fact that it would seem, it is almost impossible to invent a new one here, there is always a place for a miracle - in this case in the form of unusual and even sensational models.

The spikes have established themselves in the fashion arena as an element of design for clothes and shoes for a long time. The fashion for them came from the "eclectic era" - the distant 70s of the last century, when a multitude of cultural trends were born. Spikes, rivets and other metal parts adorned leather jackets and trousers of musicians from bands like Kiss and Black Sabbath, as well as the clothes of their many admirers.

It can be considered that, along with chains and rivets, thorns became popular due to the punk culture that originated in the late 70s and became famous thanks to such groups as the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Thorns decorated literally everything - leather jackets, jeans and, of course, laced shoes with studs on the platform.

Spikes were used not so much for beauty, but for the purpose of imparting a certain audacity and positive aggression to the image, drawing a direct parallel with the peculiarities of the musical genre.

One of the first who dared to mix a lot of different styles in her appearance and thereby give the above-mentioned styles a new life - this is the world famous singer Lady Gaga.

Thorns appeared literally on all her clothes, both scenic, and daily on all subjects of her image - beginning with accessories and footwear and finishing with underwear. This image can be viewed in detail in her clip “Telephone” (2009).

Women's shoes with spikes are presented with many variations.

Spikes adorn literally everything - toe, heel, sole, bootleg.

They can even occupy the entire surface of the boot! Shoes with spikes are available from all possible options and any color, giving the buyer great opportunities for self-realization.

Recently, a significant step forward was made, and thorns, in addition to the means of decoration, have become an almost indispensable element of protection in case of frosts.

Of particular interest are winter boots with spikes on the sole.

The spikes are located on the entire surface of the sole of the boot, including the heel area, thereby preventing its owner from slipping and falling on ice, being an indispensable option for residents of the northern regions.

Spikes can be hidden as soon as the need for them disappears, thereby making the shoes versatile and suitable for different weather conditions. If desired, they can be worn even at home!

Spikes acquire a new function - this time, protection from frost.

For a long time, the developers of shoes solved the problem of the sole, suitable for winter conditions. One of the most common options for winter soles was a rubber outsole. (like Dr. Martens or Grinders, for example). However, it has several drawbacks, the main of which is gliding on the ice. Alternative footings were followed by many giants of the shoe industry - Ecco, Camel, Vibram, Timberland, Rieker and others. This problem is to be solved by a number of manufacturers of the new model, including Meindl, Gripforce and others.

Innovative model made Meindl studded shoes. They are “controlled” by a special key located at the back of the boot and alerting six spikes on the sole. The spikes are made of a super-dense alloy, twice as hard as steel, and the shoes themselves are made of sheepskin.

Even more interesting, but still promising, is the model developed by Gripforce. Here the spike control system is already in the inside of the boot. In the future, the appearance of not one model of shoes, but a whole line of winter shoes with retractable spikes for both lovers of simple and practical shoes, and extremely intricate models.

Obviously, shoes with retractable spikes will make a real revolution in the shoe market.

The spikes are returning in a completely new role: now they can not only make a fascinating journey into the past, feel like a rock star, stand out from the crowd, but also protect yourself from frost and ice. And if you want - both, it all depends on the desires of the buyer and the selected model.

All this proves the continuous development of the fashion industry, keeping up with the times and meeting the requirements of modern buyers.
