Make A Fashion Statement With Toggi Boots

By Sally Delacruz


It is hard to imagine how hard life would have been if one is unable to use his or her feet. The foot is just as important as the hand, and it allows you to be able to perform many functions that are most essential in daily life. Without the feet, one can not go to places. One will never be able to feel the sensation of walking to check a new place out. One will never know how it feels to run, leap, hop, stumble down, then rise again. In short, it is easy to miss out on life if you are unable to walk.

Since the feet is mostly used, it needs to be protected. Before, people had to walk around barefooted that is why they usually suffer from splinters and other injuries sustained on foot. It was not long after that people gotten round to make protective clothing for the feet. People made shoes, slippers, sandals, stilettos and toggi boots to provide comfort and fashion simultaneously.

A boot is a specific type of footwear. Typically, they cover the foot and the ankle and extend to the leg. Some boots even reach as high as the knee. They also typically have that very distinguishable heel even if the entire sole was made from one piece of material only.

In connection, the kind of boot worn by those who are fond of horses and other similar animals are generally known as riding boots. These typically can reach up to the knee of the wearer. They are typically made from the toughest leather due to the extreme activities that this footwear is being used in. They are also known for having one whole sole, as compared with other shoes where the heel and the rest are separate.

Under the rider category, jodphurs are absolutely popular. The typical appearance of this kind of riding boot is the rounded toe. It is fastened in place with a wraparound strap that locks into a buckle. Aside from the jodphur, other rider types can be zipped up, laced tight, or a combination of both.

Cowboy boots seem to be the colorful counterparts of those used by serious equestrians. They are only slightly shorter, too, and most often does not reach the knee. They come in different materials, colors and designs. They can be quite hard to mix and match to any ensemble, and that only adds to its unique characteristic.

Wellingtons are also extremely popular. They are attributed to the man who, according to history, first wore them. The Duke of Wellington is said to be the designer of these said apparel as well. Today, they are known to the public as rubber boots, though some are made out of flexible PVC material.

Sailing ones, as the name suggests, are designed specially for sailors. They are waterproof to prevent all the seawater from coming in and wetting the feet. They are also designed to have the best grips because the surfaces where a sailor often walks upon are wet, which makes them prone to slipping.

A mule is a type of footwear that encloses the toes yet leaves the ankles uncovered. Most define mules as half shoes because they look as if they are unfinished. They were considered as for use only by prostitutes during the early twentieth century. It was not until a well known actress started wearing them that mules were able break out of bad reputation.
