Footwear for Chubby Women : Pairing With Right Dresses

Much have been written suggesting a chubby woman about how to buy befitting dresses. But what I have realized that these dresses might not provide the expected glamor and smartness to a chubby women if those are not paired up with matching fashion footwear.

If not chosen a pair of shoes, carefully, for your chubby legs, the dresses might create a nuisance and all your efforts to hide the chubbiness may fall flat.

Platforms : It is not suitable for a chubby women if she is a tall one. However, it provides the chubby legs of a medium size chubby woman an extreme match. Because, it makes her look taller. Thus the legs look more trimmed. A best match for skinny jeans.

Ankle Straps : You have to be a bit careful while trying to choose an ankle strap for yourself. Though at first I would recommend not to wear it, but even if you are willing to choose a pair then have a careful look upon its design.

While wearing a short skirt, pair it with an ankle strap which touches just below your calf. Also the color of your ankle straps should not contrast with your skirt's color. It makes the chubbiness revealing. Better you choose something which matches your skin tone.

Crocs : Most of the times it is found that the free movement of a chubby woman becomes immensely tough in some types of stylish and designer footwear. Crocs can be an ideal casual footwear for a chubby woman who wants to do a lot of activity with a lot of ease. They help you walk comfortably and let you feel more energetic. Goes well with casuals.

High Heels : High heels, as everybody knows, help a chubby to flatter her figure. What they do that they add certain inches to your height and make you a bit taller. And of course, a taller chubby woman looks less chubby. Thus your chubbiness goes in the backyard. Suitable with pants.

Pumps : If you love to wear fashion apparel like jeans then there is nothing better on earth than a pair of pumps. They are well tested footwear which help to hide chubbiness a great deal. The best part about pumps is that they always come with heels of varying lengths. Thus you get thinner legs cutting down your chubbiness.

Slingbacks : This one is really a boon for chubby legs. Once put on, especially the high-heeled one, will set you free from all your worries about your chubby looks. They make your legs look taller and slimmer. Try to wear with any type of skirts. It will be equally satisfying.

My aunt swears that my dead uncle who was a cop had to wear a dress & heels and pretend to be a gal because?

they didn't have many police women back in the old days and guys had to go undercover as hookers! Is she pulling my leg do you think ?

Yes, they did that. They also did that for something dangerous like when a rapsit was attacking in a certain area.

Why do so many women's boots have slippery, smooth soles and no traction whatsoever?

I am looking for high-heeled black boots that I can wear with dress pants for work, without breaking my neck on ice or snow during the winter. I don't need freaking snowboots, but most of the boots I'm finding in stores are so slick that you slide around the mall, much less the ice outside! What is the deal?

Unfortunately, most of them have smooth soles. Why do they do it? Because they normally ask you whether you want to buy those sticky sandpaper pads to put on the soles after you buy the shoes/boots.

They're very clever and greedy people!

Leather Boots Women Like to Wear on All Occasions

What is about leather boots women love to wear?

Could it be the powerful, confident, and assertive feeling they give you? Or could it be that they make you feel beautiful, attractive, and blissful? Either way, there is something about leather boots women find irresistible, and might I add, men as well.

Wearing leather boots for women are not just to keep your feet warm, they are THE accessory for women to make a statement. They scream sophistication, class, and cutting edge style. Leather boots for women are without a doubt, an absolute must have item as part of a well rounded wardrobe. They can make you arrive in style in a crisp fall afternoon, make jaws drop at an elegant evening, or give the casual spring outing some needed flair.

Women’s leather boots are not just about trends, they are timeless. They come in all different sizes, styles, colors, and material types. They can low, medium, or high heal height. The height of the boot, which is called the shaft (the part that covers your leg), can cover the ankle, mid-calf, knee, or all they way up to the thigh. The boot leather can be suede, patent leather, or tanned calf skin. Leather boot colors should be more neutral like black, navy, and all shades of brown and tan. Leather boots for women can be worn with all different types of clothing all year round, they are not just trends that come and go. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular styles of leather boots for women.

Ankle Boots

Great thing about ankle boots is that they can be worn with just about anything. From jeans, dresses, and shorts, they are probably the most versatile boot you can own. You can also were the ankle boot year round, yes, even in winter. They are available in various heel types, colors, and leather textures. One tip, though, don’t wear your ankle boots with a long dress to avoid that Little House on the Prairie look, if you know what I mean. Seriously, though, ankle boots are a good second pair of boots to get. Now let’s talk about your first pair.

Mid Calf Boots

Your mid calf boot is your most versatile leather boot for women and the first pair I recommend you buy. This style of boot can be worn with anything you own, all year round. You just can’t go wrong with the mid calf boot, no matter who you are. While some style of boots can only be worn by a certain age group, the mid calf is for women of all ages. Weather you are a teeny bopper, young adult, power business women, stay at home mom, empty nester, or boomer retiree the mid calf you has something to offer you.

Knee High Boots

The knee high boot makes a statement. These are boots where you must be more careful with your wardrobe selection to enhance to boot and your overall look. While they can be worn with jeans and leggings, they look best with a skirt or dress that lands about three inches from the top of the boot. The knee high boot can look stunning with a pair of casual jeans, a cute skirt, or an evening dress. Here is one suggestion, if you wear your knee boots with leggings or tights keep them the same color as your boots. The great thing about knee boots is that they will never go out of style and can be worn year round.

Thigh Boots

The thigh boot is not for every woman. These boots should only be worn by women who have the right leg form to enhance them and the boot. Can I be direct, for just a moment? These boots will accentuate the size of your legs. If you have slender legs you can pull them off, but if you don’t the thigh boot will not be your friend. You know what I mean, and you know who you are! Your wardrobe is somewhat limited with the thigh boot because you need to wear something that will reveal your legs. Short shorts and mini skirts are best with the thigh boot. Although, here is something to consider, wear this type of boot with skinny jeans and you will look stunning.

Are you ready to for a sheik and striking look that turns heads?

Perhaps you are ready for a pair of leather boots women just love to wear, and men find irresistible.

Leather Stiletto

Fashion Trend: From Barefooted to Stilettos

Can you imagine just how dull the fashion industry would be if shoes weren't a part of it?  I can't!  Shoes have been and will always be a very important part of a person's attire.  But just how did we go from barefooted to stilettos?  The answer can be summed up in the three S's: Safety, Status and Style.

Safety
It didn't take long before our primitive ancestors realized that their feet needed protection from the rough terrain, hot sand and sharp rocks.  Sandals were many times made out of plaited hemp, papyrus sole, animal hide and held together with leather straps for safety.  In colder regions, the climate gave way to an even more protective foot gear.  Pieces of un-tanned hide were wrapped around the feet and held together by leather thongs to keep them warm.  This formed the structure of our basic shoe.

Status
Who was it that said, "The more civilized the human race gets, the ‘dumber' it appears to be"?  Oh yeah, that was me! Humans started veering away from the original function of the shoe which was to protect the feet.  Shoes became more of a means of showing status-a very painful means!

For some cultures a higher shoe represented a higher rank.  Lesser and lesser importance was placed on protection.  Little, if any at all, was placed on comfort and fitting.  As a matter of fact, in the 1850s only two "sizes" existed: the "slim shoe" and the "fat shoe". There was absolutely no difference between the right shoe and the left shoe.  Both could be worn on either foot.  Let every say "ouch". One, two, three, "Ouuuccchhh".  One could only imagine how difficult it was to break in a new shoe.

The shoe became more of a means of showing workmanship and extravagance.  This became such an issue that laws at times were passed banning the wearing of certain types.  One such law prevented pointed shoes from being more than 2 inches long.   Apparently, pointed shoes originated in France due to a Count who wanted to mask his deformed hooves.  Pointed heels then became the vogue, since Aristocrats were the trendsetters. It soon spiraled out of control and the points became so long that people were constantly tripping over themselves. 

In some cultures, men controlled the types of shoes their wives wore as a means of strutting their egos.  In the Chinese Culture, women's feet were bound as a way to keep them small.  The reason that is said to be behind of this, is so that these women would not be able to travel far on their own, and as a result would be "faithful" to their husbands.  In the 16th century, Venetian husbands desired their wives to wear ridiculously high stilt-like shoes, so that they would not be able to travel too far either.  These shoes were so high and steep, that often times Aristocrat women could not even walk in them, and needed their slaves to assist them with walking.

Style
The development of woven stocking was pivotal in the transition of uncomfortable shoes, to snuggly fitted and contoured shoes.  Today, more so than other reasons, for many people shoes are a way to make a fashion statement-a beautiful statement at that.  But just how would the modern woman hold up if she were teleported back in time?  She would not dare to wear red or yellow shoes in Egypt, because it was considered taboo for women below Aristocratic rank to wear these color shoes. In ancient Greece, a modern woman of today would be considered dull, since Greek women owned as many as 20 pairs of shoes, with a style for every occasion.  I don't know about you, but I'll be lucky if I had 9 pairs in my closet. 

In the West, the modern woman would be running and screaming during her wedding, as her father tries to throw a shoe at her to signify the transfer of power from him to her mate.  In Anglo-Saxon ceremonies, the modern woman would not dare to wear Pumps, much less Stiletto heels at her own wedding, since instead of exchanging rings, the groom would take her shoes and tap her in the head with it.

Indeed it's a remarkable and interesting history of how humans went from barefooted to having shoes of all sizes, types, and styles.  It's even more remarkable that in the 21st century, for a woman, it's not only about safety, status and style, but also of self expression and liberation.  Long live the Shoe!

Do leather covered stiletto heels seem more dressy than wooden ones?

I've seen some gorgeous shoes this fall and winter, but some of them in the black patent and regular black leather have either a black wooden or tan wooden stiletto heel. I think I prefer when the whole heel is covered in leather like the rest of the shoe for a dress shoe and that wooden ones are still cute, but maybe not as dressy for formal events. What do you all think?

covered heels do look nicer, but wooden ones are cute, especially if they have a wooden platform

Spike Heel

An Insight Into High Heel Shoes

High heel shoes refer to a pair of fashionable women`s footwear which raises the wearer`s feet significantly higher than their toes. High heeled footwear creates an aesthetically taller, slender and more toned figures. They are available in a diverse range of styles and shapes like stilettos, pumps, blocks, tapered, wedge and blade.

According to fashion icons, a heel which is above 8.5 cm is considered high while below that height is termed as low or medium heel. Normally, high heels are exclusively worn by women but cowboy boots and Cuban heels are also sported by men. Initially raised heels developed as the response to riders` feet slipping forward from the stirrup while riding but in the subsequent decades it has become more stylized.

France led in the creation of high heeled shoes for men and women which later spread to pockets of nobility in other countries. The term `well heeled` became synonymous with opulence. Following the French Revolution there was a decline in this trend but it resurfaced in fashion in late 1800s.

While lower heels were preferred during the late 70s, high heels returned in fashion in late 80s and early 90s. In the meantime the shape of fashionable heel had changed from block (70s) to tapered (90s) and stilettos (80s and post 2000). In recent times high heels heights vary from kitten heel of 4 cm to stilettos or spike heel of 10 cm or more. Extremely high heeled footwear worn for aesthetic reasons are higher than 13 cm but are not considered practical for every day wear.

Court shoes are traditional types and often used as formal footwear while for evening wear such styles have become more adventurous. Wedge heel is another type of high heel where the heel extends till the toes. Wearing high heel footwear by women is primarily guided by its aesthetics appeal. It is believed that high heels alter the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, thereby, enhancing the shape of the calves.

They also add height to the wearer and make the legs appear longer and well shaped. In contrast, the size of foot gives the illusion of being smaller while the arches appear more defined. Even the lower leg muscle look better toned that accounts for the wearer creating an over all impression of flexibility and strength.

Some women have experienced the side effects of wearing shoes with high heels. Still, the voluntarily step into a pair of designer shoes as they can not resist the temptation of wearing a beautiful pair of high heel shoes. But legs are important part of our body and they need equal attention and care as they bear the weight of the whole body. Hence, women should be careful while wearing high heel shoes just for the sake of looking fashionable.

Also, podiatrists believe that 75% of women using high heels often suffer from severe foot problems such as intense pain, foot deformities, unsteady gait, shortening strides and may also result in degenerative knee joint changes. Often high heel shoes causes Achilles tendon, blisters, corn and may even contract lower back muscles. If it is not possible to avoid high heels, doctors suggest that those wearing such footwear should save these heels for special occasions while wearing well cushioned shoes for the rest of the day.

Anyone here willing to draw a pic for me?

The pic I need is of a woman's leg from just above the ankle wearing a spike heel crushing a pink rat.

I'm no artist, but my mind's eye sees a pretty disturbing picture there.

Ew.
