If you move Mary Jane's strap from the instep to the ankle and add the vertical one, you get a model of tango shoes (tango shoes). The shoes have a closed high heel, heel and are complemented by a T-shaped strap or crisscross straps on the instep. The history of the model began in the 1910s, when tango was actively conquering Europe and the United States. Passionate movements and forbidden public frankness attracted everyone's attention to the dance. There were tango evenings, dance schools and professional dancers. The shoe industry began producing special shoes that were comfortable, soft, stable and at the same time perfectly kept on their feet even during passionate steps.

Today, these shoes are still used to dance tango, but they are also worn in Everyday life... The meaning of the straps has long been forgotten, they have become an adornment of the model, emphasizing the instep of the leg, ankle and beautifully styling the foot.

Gloves

Glove shoes, comparable in softness to Czech women, are the heroes of the 2017 spring-summer season. The shoes were named glove for the softness of the material from which they were made. Thin elastic leather, comparable in softness to a glove, makes the shoe unprecedentedly comfortable. In terms of fit on the leg, glove shoes can only be compared with Czech women - shoes in which gymnasts and dancers train. In addition to the softest material, glove shoes are distinguished by the absence of a rigid form: toe cap, heel and other "frame" details. Read more in our material.

Oxfords

Oxfords (oxford shoes) - shoes with closed lacing, in which the side parts of the boot (ankle boots) are sewn to the main part (vamp) with a single seam. Even with the laces untied, Oxfords keep their shape, expanding in the tongue area by just a couple of centimeters.
Oxfords came to the women's wardrobe from the men's, presenting sometimes in an original masculine form, and sometimes in a feminine sophisticated format.

Derby

Derby (derby shoes) - shoes with open lacing, in which the side details (ankle boots) are sewn to the main (vamp) with a short side seam. The model is easy to put on: when the laces are untied, the side parts freely diverge to the sides. According to our subjective observations, derby shoes are more common in women's wardrobe than oxford shoes.

Brogues

Monkey

Monks (monks, monkstraps) are low shoes without lacing, in which the side buckles play the role of a fastener. In literal translation from English "monkstraps" means "buckles of monks". They owe their appearance to the monks who wore comfortable shoes with buckles instead of laces.

Loafers

Loafers (loafers) - shoes that combine the top without lacing with the sole of the shoes. Several types of loafers give room for imagination, so shoes are one of the most popular in both men's and women's wardrobes. They are classified into penny loafers, buckle loafers, tassel loafers, fringed loafers, Venetian loafers, Belgian loafers and slippers, depending on the decorative elements and the shape of the top.

Penny Loafers
Penny loafers (penny loafers) - model, complemented by a leather strip with a slot. According to legend, the students used this decor for their own purposes: they inserted a fine for good luck into the slot, from which the name "penny loafers" came from.

Buckle Loafers
Buckle loafers date back to the 1930s, when Italian designer Gucci added a snaffle buckle to the regular model. Loafers with buckle buckle (buckle - "buckle") have the second name "Gucci loafers" after their creator. Modern versions reinterpret the bit: instead of it, you can find decoration in the form of a bamboo stick, a spiral and just a chain.

Tassel Loafers
Tassel loafers owe their appearance to the American actor Paul Lucas, who was fascinated by the tassel strings on loafers on one of his trips abroad. The worldwide spread of tassel loafers was facilitated by Ivy League students, for whom tassel loafers became their unspoken uniform, fitting perfectly with the school-student preppy style.

Fringed loafers
Loafers-kilts (kiltie loafers) - model, which is adorned with wide leather fringe. Kilt loafers are named after the Scottish national skirt, which vaguely resembles leather stripes. The fringe of kilts can be added with a buckle, tassel, or as a separate piece.

Belgian loafers
Belgian loafers (belgian loafers) - model, decorated with a small bow. This detail was added by designer Henry Bendel, and he borrowed the uniform from the Belgian shoemakers, from whom he learned the craft.

Venetian loafers
Venetian loafers are a model that is distinguished by a complete lack of embellishments. Called "Venetian" for the resemblance to the laconic form of the Venetian gondoliers. In appearance they are similar to slippers, but do not have a pronounced tongue shape.

Sleepers
Slippers are shoes with classic loafers' soles and soft, unadorned upper, often made of velvet or tweed. The protruding tongue with rounded edges can be decorated with embossed or embroidered monograms.

Deserts

Desert boots - ankle-high boots made of suede, nubuck or leather with rubber soles. The name is due to British soldiers who fought in them in the sands of Egypt during World War II, as well as to Nathan Clark, who established their production in peaceful conditions under the Clarks brand, after whom this species is often called simply clarks. A distinctive feature is two lacing holes on each side. If there are more of them, then the boots from deserters turn into chukka.

Chakka

Chukka boots - ankle-high boots made of suede, nubuck or leather. The name "chakka" comes from the term "chakker" - the period of playing polo. Unlike deserters, chukkas can have any number of lacing holes. The characteristic feature of chukka boots is the leather sole.

Chelsea

Chelsea boots - boots above the ankle with low heels with rubber inserts on the sides. Elastic inserts allow the boots to maintain a narrow ankle shape without the need for zippers and lacing. In a women's wardrobe, low-heeled chelsea often become an element of minimalist style in combination with skinny jeans and a leather biker jacket. Ankle boots with heels can also be provided with elastic, which gives us the right to call them Chelsea boots.

Moccasins

Moccasins (moccasins) - shoes without lacing on a soft rubber sole (without a heel) or leather with rubber studs. A distinctive feature of moccasins is a protruding seam on the upper part of the shoe, often with an outer overcast. The women's version of moccasins practically does not differ from the men's version, so they can be called unisex shoes.

Topsiders

Topsiders (topsiders, boat shoes) - yachtsmen's shoes with grooved non-slip soles with a lace around the heel. The name comes from topside - the upper deck. The lacing is dotted along the edge of the upper to ensure a secure fit on the foot: comfort and safety for the sailor on the wet deck are paramount. Historically, the sole of topsiders has been white, which did not leave marks on the snow-white deck of the yacht, but today you can find models of various colors, as white has lost its functional purpose. Like moccasins, topsiders do not differ in their appearance in the male and female versions, therefore they are also a unisex model.

Slipons

Not to be confused with sleepers! Slip-on (slip-on) - a sports model with a smooth top without lace-up and a smooth rubber sole. The top can be made of textiles or leather, on the side there are elastic inserts, which provide convenience and quick donning. Shoes are universal in men's and women's performance, so models of a neutral color, if available in size, can be bought in any catalog.

Espadrilles

Espadrilles (espadrilles) - shoes with a fabric or leather upper with woven jute soles. The authentic combination of jute and canvas has migrated from the cheap footwear for plantation workers to the wardrobes of movie stars. Espadrilles have inspired creative and free-thinking people, including Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Manolo Blahnik. Yves Saint Laurent has added a jute platform to the espadrilles, thanks to which we have one of our favorite summer pairs - wedges.

Wellingtons

Wellington boots owe their name to their creator, British commander Arthur Wellesley Wellington. The first models were sewn from their soft leather, and rubber became only after the invention of rubber and obtaining a patent for the production of shoes from it. After surviving two world wars, the Wellingtons take on their immortal form, which is the Green Hunter tall green boots from Hunter Boot Ltd. A fascinating story of global conquest, and for everyday inspiration, use the images of Kate Moss in Wellington from the Coachella festivals.

Moon rovers

Moon boots (moon boots) - boots and ankle boots, reminiscent of snowboard boots. The name came to mind of the creator, Italian Giancarlo Zanata, when he saw a poster with astronauts returning from the moon. The history of the creation of unusual shoes for earthly astronauts. The Moonboots feature a straight heel line, chunky sole and super-chunky nylon upper. The right and left boots do not differ from each other; a fixing lace is threaded on top. The popularity of "moon boots" was so high that the brand name became a household name, giving a name to a whole type of shoe.

Readings

Riding boots - originally from the days when horse riding was an indispensable skill. Riding boots were sewn from soft tight skin, which served for a long time and at the same time gave the rider the opportunity to control the horse by lightly squeezing its sides. The earliest female travelers earned the right to a women's pair of riding boots, ditching the uncomfortable women's saddle in favor of the practical men's one. Modern women's readings can be low-heeled or with stiletto heels, in the latter version retaining only a distant resemblance to the original. In the wardrobe, readings are organic in combination with leggings and a voluminous top.

Jackboots

Jackboots are military riding boots. Wartime had its own requirements for shoes, therefore, unlike soft readings, jackboots were reinforced with a metal lining - chain mail sewn into the walls of the boot. The reinforced boot was designed to protect against injuries and wounds in battle, and to control the horse, the boot was supplemented with a spur strap on the boot. During World War II, jackboots became part of the uniform of the German troops, therefore, they still evoke associations with aggression and military style. One of the roughest and most aggressive forms of boots, which some designers, for example, Rick Owens, play effectively on.

Jodpur

Jodhpur boots are ankle-length boots with round toes and low heels, fitted with straps on the bootleg. Designed for horse riding, the boots were attached to the feet with straps and buckles wrapped around the ankle. If you remove the straps, replacing them with an elastic insert, the boots turn into chelsea. In its original form, the strap on the jodhpur wraps around the ankle and is fastened with a buckle to the outside of the boot.

The boots are named after the city of Jaipur (India). In 1897, an Indian polo team led by the son of the Maharaja Jaipur competed in the races to celebrate Queen Victoria's anniversary. The players were dressed in national costumes, which included churidar trousers and short boots with straps. English society appreciated the exotic shoe novelty and replaced its high reading boots with short jodhpurs, combining them with the usual English breeches. Aside from convenience, the new forms were much cheaper to manufacture, as they took less skin. Today, jodpur can have variations with one or more straps that play a decorative role.

Types of women's shoes with heels with photos and names

Photos and names of such types of women's shoes with heels, such as pumps and sandals, will surprise no one for a long time. Even for those who never wear high-heeled shoes, having high-heeled pumps in their wardrobe is an opportunity to instantly turn into a femme fatale. Any casual outfit - jeans + white shirt + blazer - becomes extremely glamorous when you add high-heeled pumps to it. For special occasions (weddings, christenings or ceremonial exit) pumps, always made of black leather, to wear them with any outfit, are your salvation.

And it is best to opt for a slightly rounded nose so that they survive any fashion.

To diversify the fun of classic pumps, you can spend money on high-heeled sandals. With a closed toe, center and side straps, and an open heel, they tend to be more comfortable than pumps because the foot is better fixed. You can also get more interesting sandals, such as, for example, the Rockstud model with "studs" from Valentino, which is very actively bought.

Consider choosing a model with a small platform in front for stability, as the feet are very open in sandals. Once the feet are open, there is almost nothing to hold them, and it is very easy to twist the leg.
