Tractor-soled shoes

Not all girls love neat heels and thin studs, and for some it is simply difficult to walk on them. In this case, you should pay attention to the convenient and not quite standard version - shoes with a tractor sole.

Footwear on tractor soles received the laconic name "tractors" solely for their visual similarity with this type of machine. More specifically, with its massive wheels or a caterpillar, which does not care for any off-road. The sole of the shoe also differs in a rather cumbersome appearance, often in weight and, of course, in a relief form.

Tractor outsole was used in the seventies of the twentieth century, but it didn’t get accustomed. Second breath and new popularity of this type of shoes acquired recently, in 2014, thanks to the fashion house Jeffrey Campbell and fashion designer Stella McCartney, after which many other brands picked up the trend.

Thanks to a thick sole and a corrugated form, uneven paving stones, a rocky path and even a path will not become an obstacle. The platform or the heel of such shoes is stable, and the pad is often comfortable, and the rise is low. Thus, the shoes produce a shocking effect only due to the height of the sole, but remain comfortable. In addition, very often to create a "tractor" using materials that are resistant to damage, which means they will not be lost in the coming week after purchase.

Large outsole - a medal with two sides. For starters, some of these shoes can be heavy, and all day it will be very difficult to wear, and the design is mostly rude. The massive look allows the legs to appear smaller and slimmer, but if the legs are already thin, the effect will not be quite harmonious. The solution for long thin legs would be shoes on a flat tractor sole, but heels and platforms will be a salvation for low girls.

To begin with it is necessary to tell about options of a sole. "Tractor" corrugated effect can be applied to heels of any height, but the width should be appropriate, massive. On shoes with a thin heel, the relief is made into sock pieces. This stylistic solution is also used for flat low soles, platforms, tankettes.

The height and depth of the relief is different: from barely noticeable to deep furrows that look very extravagant. There is a powerful sole, which is deliberately larger than the upper part of the shoe. There are differences in the frequency of the relief - it can be small and frequent, or vice versa, there can be a decent distance between parts with gaps. Some soles look quite neat and elegant, but most often the tractor is used to impart brutality to the image.

Regardless of the model, there is a different type of lift. It can be completely absent, which makes even high (often shockingly high) shoes very comfortable. Or there is the usual rise, as is the case with the classic look of the sole. Regarding the models themselves, there are no restrictions. The relief sole meets on boots, boots, shoe boots. But also exclusively female options, shoes, did not avoid the use of such a trend direction as tractors.

For a start, these are classic shoes with a split sole and a clearly defined heel area. In order to have noticeable relief, the heel must be rather massive.To compensate for the heavy bottom, the top is made uncluttered, light, and neat. The look of shoes is fashionable, but daring and not rarely coarse, and therefore they are hardly suitable for work in an office with a strict dress code.

Open toe sandals and heels, or one of these parts are found both on the heel and on the platform or wedge. Some models can be completely open, completely made of straps that reach a height, including the ankle. Flat corrugated sole found in loafers, oxfords, and their main advantage is that even the "tractor" allows the shoe to remain within the boundaries of the business type.

First of all, you should consider the most popular colors - black and white. The first one is irreplaceable at any time of the year, because it fits into everything, it will be appropriate in any situation and at the same time it doesn’t get very dirty in the rain. White shoes have a lighter summer mood, and also, like black ones, are universal.

White and black often appear in shoes with a tractor sole, even in color models. (two- or multi-color). A popular trick is to separate the two parts of the shoe. The top can be made in any trend shade, but the soles are black or white.

More classic and demi-season models are mostly dark. Gray, brown, blue colors, and also their shades are popular. Summer shoes are colored, and they use both bright palettes (canary-yellow, vigorous fuchsia, lime green), and calm color range (delicate blue, pink, yellow). Among the popular current colors it is worth highlighting orange and red, metallic shiny shades (silver, gold), rich green and blue, especially on appropriate materials that make the color deeper.

Separately, it should be said about prints, because they are found not only on clothes, but also on shoes. Animalistic patterns (zebra, leopard, tiger, snake) and geometric patterns with stripes, rhombuses and complex shapes are especially popular.

Polyurethane is most often used to create the sole. This material has many positive characteristics that allow you to make tractors so special and spectacular. First of all, polyurethane has a high wear resistance, which is necessary for everyday wear in the city and climatic conditions. Moisture resistance and heat insulation are also high, which means that these shoes will not allow the feet to get wet or quickly freeze. Thanks to these characteristics, shoes will be a practical acquisition, because they will last for a long time and will not fall apart in the first pool.

As for the upper part of shoes, the most popular material is leather, both natural and artificial. Both matte and lacquered are equally popular. In addition, on leather materials can create a relief to simulate snake skin. Not so often, but still there are shoes made of suede, although this material is more relevant for autumn and winter types of shoes.

As additional materials I use velvet fringe, denim inserts. Shoes with a tractor sole are very spectacular, so laconic, but not rarely daring metal rivets and spikes are taken as decorative elements.

This season it is fashionable for shoes to have open parts., and it concerns not only a toe, but also heels, and often both of these parts. This will be especially true in the warm season, when you can demonstrate a beautiful pedicure without any damage to freeze your fingers. However, these are not all the trends that concern the toe, because among them there is a male type of sock and a pointed one, but a shortened one.

In the fashion straps, including the ankle, After all, a tight-fitting detail makes an elegant emphasis on the ankles. On the whole, the buckles on different parts of the shoes will be very stylish, especially in combination with the high platform popular for tractors.

Unconventional model, which is a mix of knee-length boots and shoesIt is also made on a relief sole. Such shoes are more often than ordinary shoes, decorated and decorated with all sorts of elements. This season is popular to use outrageous jewelry, although they are rarely seen on shoes with such a massive sole, but trendy sequins and prints are quite acceptable. Among the decor stand out favorably metal rivets, which are ideally combined with a daring look of massive shoes.

The general trends of footwear on tractor soles adhere to coarseness and simplicity. Designers offer to stand out heel heights up to 15 centimeters, which doesn’t sound so terrible, because everyone knows that the shoes on tractors have a not very high lift.

Genuine leather reptiles are in fashion, although the price of such footwear is appropriate. It is possible to do kozhzamom, which can give the appropriate appearance. In the trend of suede, which I prefer to decorate with embroidery or lacing. And, of course, ordinary skin does not go out of fashion. Different textures are relevant for this material: smooth, glossy lacquered, matte - as well as colors, among which not only classic black and brown are found, but also bright.

The tractor sole on shoes is often very noticeable, massive, and sometimes simply shoots everyone with height. Such shoes greatly attracts attention, so it is she who becomes the main or one of the main accents of the whole image. HTo avoid overloading the appearance of these shoes, it is best to pick up uncluttered, not fancy clothes.

Harmonious sole relief sole looks in the images of casual styles with his everyday mood and priority of comfort, brutal biker and extravagant grunge, where they combine what is not combined in the usual sense. The relief on the sole and for the romantic style is suitable, since the airy and light fabrics contrast interestingly with heavy shoes.

Deliberately sloppy oversize dress, shirt dress and tunic dress are all part of a casual style, so they will suit shoes with both heels and flat shoes. More romantic and delicate models of dresses or skirts should be combined with shoes solely on the heel. As for skirts, then you should avoid maxi length to the floor, because then the shoes will be hidden, but in the models there are no restrictions. Stylish and with such shoes will look and denim mini and knitted half-knee. You can combine a skirt with tops, T-shirts, tunics and sweaters, depending on the length of the product and the width.

From the trousers should choose a simple model, you can be a bit short, and loafers, oxfords or shoes with a massive heel will complete the business image. As is the case with skirts, it is better to avoid flared long pants. The same applies to jeans, that is, you should abandon the wide models. But there will always be relevant juggins, skinny, boyfriends, overalls and other fitting models of different fit and height. Shoes and sandals on a tractor sole will look good with shorts, both medium and short lengths.

Some models of shoes can be easily worn in the fall or spring, so combinations with outerwear should be considered. Thick and high corrugated sole will fit straight coats and knee-length trench coats, leather and denim short jackets, parks. In the cold season it makes sense to wear tights, if the set consists of a skirt, dress or shorts, in this case it is better to choose simple models without drawings.

The bag is selected depending on the image and situation however, in any case, large and volumetric models should be avoided. It is preferable to make a choice in the direction of clutch, crossbody, envelopes neat shape and design.
