Women's shoes - heel

History of women´s footwear

The earliest known women´s shoes were sandals and boots made of freshly processed leather, which, in addition to protecting the foot from outside effects they also protected against cold. The predecessors of high-heeled shoes were the so-called 'cothurns', which date back to the Antique times and so called 'qabqab' which again represented extremely high shoes of the Near and Middle East. Later narrow shoes with an elongated pointed toe came on the scene. This toe determined social status of the wearer and could reach as much as 75 cm. The longest pointed toes could be worn by the rulers and their closest relatives; no one else had this privilege. The nobility of the royal court was allowed a toe length of 30 as a maximum.  However, the serfs could wear shoes with 15 cm pointed toe. Long-toed shoes were later replaced by square-toed shoes. Gradually, the selection of women's footwear became wider and there was a choice of ankle-boots, sporty shoes and boots. At those times already there were no limits as far as fantasy and imagination was concerned and shoes were designed in combination of various materials available. They were interesting, original and playful. Creativity of shoe designers progressed and features distinguishing the gender of shoes became more obvious. Ladies just knew on which shoe models to draw their attention. Nowadays the toe length, heel height or any decoration does not determine any lady's status. Today we know that the elements mentioned also reflect actual world fashion trends.

Women´s high-heeled shoes, the main category, from which each and every woman has at least one pair. The shoes, in which you impress on your date, have elegance at work and luxurious companion at any social event. We all know that looking good does not mean wearing high-heeled shoes all day round.

Women´s ankle shoes / boots have closed upper part as their common feature. It covers the front of the foot and extends up to the ankle in its back part. Women´s ankle shoes may differ according to their style and design; they may have a touch of classics or extravagance. In other words, ankle shoes / boots keep pace with fashion trends.  

Women´s sport shoes or sneakers represent sport type of women´s ankle footwear. They are very popular nowadays not only among young ladies. They are rich in material composition - leather, textile or their combinations. They also differ in the way of fastening - it does not apply anymore that sneakers must be laced only, even though it is still the most widespread method of fastening. Many models have laces for decorative purposes only, but in fact the sneakers are slipped on and fastened with a small zip. Combination of a zip and laces is not rare at all. Very popular are so called slip-on sneakers, simply slip-on models without any fastening.                                                                             

Sneakers are rich in their colours - classic white ones, black, multi coloured as well as with various creative patterns.  

Women´s moccasins represent ankle shoes without any heel. They are put on very easily, which emphasises the feeling of comfort. There is also one of the most favourite category of women´s shoes - women´s ballerinas. Distinguishing and main features of this type of footwear are represented by a thin sole without a heel, easy way of putting them on, closed toe and heel part and widely cut front part. They get their chance to shine in warmer spring and summer days.

During hot summer days your feet long for breathing the scent of summer. The time of women´s sandals and flip-flops comes. These are shoes ready to enjoy fresh air. Sandals are the most stable type of footwear thanks to their strap system while flip-flops give your feet complete feeling of freedom.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

When the nature dresses up into autumn colours and the weather forecast says that a coat and an umbrella would be a good choice for that day, look at the women's ankle boots. Compared to women's ankle shoes they have higher upper part at the back of the foot extending above the ankle. Their chance to "show off" starts with the approach of autumn days and then again in spring.

When the temperature drops below zero, look at Robelshoes.eu e-shop winter boots that will keep you warm. Boots, as we know, may come in various lengths, like boots above your knees called „over the knee“ boots or boots which are just above your ankle. When you buy boots you also consider the heel.
