Therefore it is not surprising that not only women of fashion are ready to give their salaries to black slippers. Women intuitively understand that shoes are a mood. Even the best outfit of the wardrobe loses its appearance, if the shoes are not its continuation, does not match the style.

A bit of history

The most elegant style of women's shoes has its secret. The shoes that every woman has in her wardrobe were born thanks to men. It was they, the fashionable gentlemen of the Middle Ages, who started wearing ballroom shoes that did not have buckles. Convenience was, "slip" of the legs into the shoes, hence the name of the style - boats.

Heels also appeared in the men's fashion before. They were the privilege of the horsemen. To keep the leg in the stirrup, a pin was attached to the heel of the boot. With a boot, the heel moved to civilian shoes, giving growth to its owner. History knows the fact of issuing a decree by Louis XIV, which said: the subject can only raise his heel when he raises his rank. Who would have thought that black shoes-boats would have such an interesting story.

The twentieth century can be called an epoch of perfection of women's shoes without exaggeration. In the 1950s, the first black shoes-pins on hairpins appeared. Two designers of women's shoes carry out their unique designs. Roger Vivien creates shoes on an 8-centimeter heel for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. And Salvatore Ferragamo makes shoes for fashionistas on a 10-centimeter hairpin.

Christian Dior decided to improve the female image on the podium, paying special attention to the shoes. He used in his show clothes clothes on a comfortable 5-centimeter hairpin.

At the same time, the first models of inexpensive boats on heels appeared in Soviet stores, and many women became happy owners of this scarce commodity. And graduates of the 70's in their boat shoes danced their first waltzes.

No matter how much metamorphosis occurred with the boat shoes from the moment of their creation - this model went down in history. It is clear that the fashion does not stand still, designers bring something new, stepping in step with the times, but the shoes-boats, black, on the heel, remain in demand at the present time. They emphasize the presence of the beauty of any style of clothing, so they are popular with women.

Particularly attractive is the velvety suede surface in deep black.

How did it occur to Labuten to decorate the boats with a red sole? There is a legend that once he saw his assistant painted red lacquer nails on his legs.
