While
some of us appreciate the hidden height, others are firm believers that the
only kind of pumps appropriate in a sneaker are those of the Reebock variety. What’s your stance? We’ll kick things off with the least
offensive pair of hidden-wedge sneakers we could find. This unassuming high top
could easily join in the footwear rotation with your Converse and Tom’s. This pair of kicks has one of our
absolute favorite shoe embellishments: studs! Neatly lined around the top and
toe, the small studs add understated flair to these high tops. While these bright red high tops are definitely more
of a statement, their sleek design keeps things classy. Leave it to the folks
as adidas to give us a stupendously streamlined sneaker. Oh snap! Large round
snaps replace laces on these hidden wedge sneakers that come in three neutral
colors (black—like you see here—as well as cream and beige). We love the mix of
sporty and street wear in this pair. Reach
great heights with these blue leather high tops that combine the hidden wedge
with a trendy platform. The result is one seriously fashion-forward shoe. The
bold details on these hidden-wedge sneakers are to die for. Quilted leather and
two glaringly gold zippers makes this a go-to look for going out. We had to
look twice to make sure this elegant-looking shoe was actually a sneaker. Its exaggerated upper and
curving wedge heel make it look like one of the chicest lace-up boots we’ve
ever seen. Definitely worth the super-splurge in our book. Who knew that mesh
could look so marvelous? Especially when it’s paired with luxe-looking faux
leather. Sheer panels transform this hidden-wedge sneaker into something a bit
more formal. A double dose of chunky buckles help these shiny hidden-wedge
sneakers achieve rock star status. Side cutouts help to balance out their edgy
look. Graduated cutouts give this hidden-wedge high top a lighter feel. These
would look insanely cute kicking out from underneath a black maxi skirt. Live
in a part of the country where temperatures plummet past October? Beat Jack
Frost in style with this cozy pair! A three inch wedge isn’t the only thing
amping up this pair of kicks. A cap toe of spiky studs and crocodile-embossed
leather straps sling around these fierce hidden-wedge sneakers. The queen of
wedge sneakers gets a metallic makeover that we have to admit we’re in to. Grey
suede plays down the intensity of the shimmery leather, making this pair an
easy everyday wear. Alright, things just got WAY sportier in this roundup!
These sneakers are legit heeled-gym shoes. While these come in a variety of
colors, we’re most smitten with the modest combination of baby blue and white.
Ever wonder what it would look like if you slapped a wedge heel onto your
Converse? Love it or hate it, this high top leaves little to the imagination.
A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the
human foot while doing various activities. Shoes are also used as an item of
decoration. The design of shoes has varied enormously through
time and from culture to culture, with appearance originally
being tied to function. Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design
elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary
footwear varies widely in style, complexity and cost. Basic sandals may consist
of only a thin sole and simple strap. High fashion shoes may be made of very expensive
materials in complex construction and sell for thousands of dollars a pair.
Other shoes are for very specific purposes, such as boots designed specifically for mountaineering or skiing.
Traditionally, shoes have been made
from leather, wood or canvas, but are
increasingly made from rubber, plastics,
and other petro chemical-derived materials.
The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body.
Though it has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in
relation to vastly varied terrain and climate conditions, the foot is still
vulnerable to environmental hazards such as sharp rocks and hot ground, against
which shoes can protect
Shoes
also play an important role in the fairy tales Cinderella and The Red Shoes. In the children's book and movie, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a pair of
red ruby slippers play a key role in the plot. The 1985 comedy The Man with One Red Shoe features an eccentric man wearing one
normal business shoe and one red shoe that becomes central to the plot.
In
the Holy Bible's Old Testament, the shoe is used
to symbolize something that is worthless or of little value. In the New Testament, the act of
removing one's shoes symbolizes servitude. The Semites regarded the act of removing their shoes as a mark of
reverence when approaching a sacred person or place. In the Book of Exodus, Moses was instructed to
remove his shoes before approaching the burning bush.
There are a wide variety of
different types of shoes. Most types of shoes are designed for specific
activities. For example, boots are typically designed for work or
heavy outdoor use. Athletic
shoes are designed for
particular sports such as running, walking, or other sports. Some shoes are
designed to be worn at more formal occasions, and others are designed for
casual wear. There are also a wide variety of shoes designed for different
types of dancing. Orthopedic shoes are special types of footwear designed for
individuals with particular foot problems or special needs. Other animals, such
as dogs and horses, may also wear
special shoes to protect their feet as well.
Depending on the activity for which
they are designed, some types of footwear may fit into multiple categories. For
example, Cowboy boots are considered boots, but may also be
worn in more formal occasions and used as dress shoes. Hiking boots incorporate many of the protective
features of boots, but also provide the extra flexibility and comfort of many athletic
shoes. Flip-flops are considered casual footwear, but
have also been worn in formal occasions, such as visits to the White House.
A
boot is a special type of shoe which covers the foot and the ankle and extends up the leg, sometimes as far as the knee or even the hip. Most boots have a heel that is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the sole, even if the two are made of one piece.
They are typically made of leather or rubber, although they may be made from a
variety of different materials. Boots are worn both for their
functionality — protecting the foot and leg from water, snow, mud or
hazards or providing additional ankle support for strenuous activities —
as well as for reasons of style and fashion.
Boots
are designed to withstand heavy wear to protect the wearer and provide good
traction. They are generally made from sturdy leather uppers and non-leather
outsoles. They may be used for uniforms of the police or military, as well as for
protection in industrial settings such as mining and construction. Protective
features may include steel-tipped toes and soles or ankle guards.
Some
designs of dress shoes can be worn by either gender. The majority of dress
shoes have an upper covering, commonly made of leather, enclosing most of the
lower foot, but not covering the ankles. This upper part of the shoe is often
made without apertures or openings, but may also be made with openings or even
itself consist of a series of straps, e.g. an open toe featured in women's
shoes. Shoes with uppers made high to cover the ankles are also available; a
shoe with the upper rising above the ankle is usually considered a boot but certain
styles may be referred to as high-topped shoes or high-tops. Usually, a high-topped shoe is
secured by laces or zippers, although some styles have elastic inserts to ease
slipping the shoe on.
