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.

Due to its importance, it is but essential for one to take care of their own pair. They are many foot hygiene kits to keep feet in optimal condition. When going out, it is recommended that one wear toggi boots, shoes, and slippers to somehow protect them from getting splintered and the like.

A boot is a specific type of footwear. Typically, they cover the foot and the ankle and extend to the leg. Some boots even reach as high as the knee. They also typically have that very distinguishable heel even if the entire sole was made from one piece of material only.

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 seem to be the colorful counterparts of those used by serious equestrians. They are only slightly shorter, too, and most often does not reach the knee. They come in different materials, colors and designs. They can be quite hard to mix and match to any ensemble, and that only adds to its unique characteristic.

Wellingtons are also extremely popular. They are attributed to the man who, according to history, first wore them. The Duke of Wellington is said to be the designer of these said apparel as well. Today, they are known to the public as rubber boots, though some are made out of flexible PVC material.

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.
