Make A Fashion Statement With Toggi Boots

By Sally Delacruz


The feet, perhaps, is the most worn out part of the body. We use our feet to walk to distances. We use them to run races, or jog our way to health. We use them to run towards loved ones, or away from enemies. Without them, going through the activities of daily living could be way too hard.

All of these makes one appreciate the strength of those who can not use their feet. They will have to go to places by other means, and with the help of other people. This is a good time, as any other, to be thankful that you can still wear and use various foot apparel such as slippers, sandals, shoes, and toggi boots.

Boots are classified under shoes. They also cover the entire feet and even some parts of the lower leg. There are even other designs that reach as high up as the knee. They come in all styles, colors, patterns, and designs. They are typically worn with the pants tucked inside them. One will usually see this kind worn by equestrian and other people who work with quadrupeds.

Originally, they were used by those who work around horses. They were then called riding boots and are usually made of leather. Some reach the knee, some only reach mid calf. They feature different types of catch for them to be closed around the foot. The really dressy ones are laced up. Those who can not be bothered by such intricacies use those that have zippers at the back.

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 can be quite high, but not as high as those intended for horse enthusiasts. Whereas the riding counterpart is made primarily of leather, cowboy ones are not. They also tend to be more colorful and can have varied designs. Most bear insignias, American flags, and paisley patterns. They also come in all sort of colors that reflect the fun personality of most country folk.

Wellington types were named so because they were popularized by the first Duke of Wellington. Today, they are more commonly known as rubber boots. These types are staple ensemble for hunting and any outdoor activity. They first came in black and other dull colors, but more colorful ones are available at the present. They can even bear varied designs, including cartoon characters for children to use.

Mules are a cross between sandals and shoes. They are closed of in front but totally open at the rear. This type of footwear initially has a bad reputation because they were first worn and popularized by paid women. These shoes only regained a more positive stature when a famous Hollywood actress wore it and broke the stereotype attached to it.

Mules are also known as half shoes. They have closed front appearances, just like a slipper, and yet they are open at the back, like a slipper. They were avoided by most because they were originally linked to prostitutes, but are now socially acceptable. Chaps, in an altogether different light, are leather coverings used mainly by cowgirls and boys. They are worn over the pants to protect them when riding out on a horse.
