Men'S Boots Have Multiple Personalities And Men Must.

A man obsessed with power

This is the earliest record of boots, and also a record of war.

Obviously, the first people who had boots were men, and the earliest boots were military boots.

Equipment for battle

In a more than 2700 year old fresco, the fierce warriors of King Sagan II are engraved on the chariot to expand the map of the Assyrian Empire.

All the people in the picture are wearing leather boots with lace.

This is the earliest record of boots.

Obviously, the first man to have boots was a man, and the earliest boots were military boots.

For a long time, soldiers have been using leather boots to protect their feet and legs.

They wore leather boots over the rugged countryside and waded into the cold and harsh rivers.

A few hundred years later, the ancient Greek Spartan soldiers' boots were more imaginative - the bright red leather boots (and the matching red short sleeved waist coat) aimed at hiding the blood from the wound.

This red leather boots soon became popular among the crazy Spartan youths.

Some historians believe that the history of leather boots is longer than that of ancient Greece and Assyrian Empire.

The right person's favorite

Boots used to be a part of men's clothing and a symbol of power.

Napoleon especially appreciates the art and costume of Rome empire. He likes his boots higher than his knees, but cuts his back slightly shorter, so that he can walk easily.

To keep the necessary light, leather boots are polished with special grease and wax mixture, and a dark spot is not allowed.

In 1815, when the British defeated Napoleon in Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington, who led the British army, unexpectedly said that the reason why he succeeded in the military was mainly because his soldiers were the "best dressed European shoes".

Like Napoleon, Wellington is also a leather boots fan, so that the name "Wellington boots" has been named after him.

At that time, a man could wear a neat pair of shoes from head to toe to visit a lady, of course, including a pair of white and clean shoes.

This shoe cover is made of leather or fiber and is used by men to cover uppers and ankles.

In fact, it turned a pair of ordinary shoes into beautiful boots.

Military boots are military prestige.

In fact, the Duke of Wellington did not exaggerate. In the age of infantry warfare, the Long March made the wear rate of shoes very alarming. Many people could only fight their shoes and fight with bare feet after their shoes were worn out.

Therefore, the ability to provide strong and wearable military boots is often the key to war.

In the American Civil War in 1863, the southern army got news that in the Gettysburg warehouse there were a large number of military boots, so they had the idea of robbery.

However, when the southern army arrived at the warehouse, they did not receive military boots, until they were ambushed by the northern army.

So a battle around the army boots eventually became the battle of Gettysburg in the North South military scale.

German Chancellor Bismarck once said, "walking boots and footsteps are powerful weapons of the army."

In fact, German clothing is still a model of men's aesthetics.

Back in the Prussian period in 1866, the German boots were cowhide brown boots and looked very powerful.

In the same period, long armchair boots became a common practice in other European countries.

The Russian army under the Tsar ruled that the army must be equipped with long and shank boots to reflect military prestige.

Since then, although the war has gradually moved to mechanized troops, the tradition of wearing long tube boots remains.

Until the Second World War, the US Army developed more scientific "Jungle Boots" and the "desert boots" used in the Gulf War, and the traditional military boots really entered the history.

The wonderful use of high boots

Once, high boots were part of men's tools.

British Pirates and some members of early American merchant ships like to wear high boots with a wide top.

Because of the "high tube", it is convenient to smuggle valuable goods.

"Bootlegging", or "high tube", became a popular word in the American prohibition period in 1920s, because those who wore high tube boots often made and sold alcoholic drinks illegally.

US Army and desert boots

The Gulf War made the desert boots famous.

The fabric of the military boots is made of moistureproof leather and nylon. The boot is zippered to prevent sand from entering. The stab resistant steel sheet is removed in the design of the boot, and the honeycomb aluminum protective layer is added to reduce the injury degree to the foot when the mine explode.

At the same time, the rubber on the boot is soft, which can prevent the rubble in the sand.

In addition, the lacing hole and coated brass rapid wear system greatly reduce the time of wearing boots, and can be completed in almost 10 seconds.

During the Gulf War, the US defense department ordered about 420 thousand pairs of desert boots.

Exquisite man

When it comes to shoes in the 60s of last century, almost everyone thinks of boots, especially Chelsea Boot.

This short leather boot, which is held by The Beatles band, is still the best single product in autumn and winter even on the T stage of men's wear.

Boots are everything in 60s.

"Men wear these boots, and they take a long walk."

In 1966, American singer Nancy Sinatra sang this way.

In fact, when it comes to shoes in the 60s of last century, almost everyone thinks of boots, especially Chelsea Boot.

This short leather boot, which is held by The Beatles band, is still the best single item in autumn and winter even in the men's T stage. You can find this kind of leather boots in almost all brands.

The The Beatles band was seen as a playboy from Liverpool in the early 60s, dressed in weird clothes all day long. But it turned out that they established the fashion model of 60s and became the representative and pioneer of the "Mods".

They will wear neutral tights, pointed leather boots (with a frightening Cuban Heel), like cowboys in the prairie area of South America.

These boots are very eye-catching, this is "Chelsea boots" (Chelsea Boot), and at that time people would prefer to call it "Beatles Boot".

Chelsea boots with a pair of feet

Photographer Robert Freeman has photographed 4 pairs of Chelsea boots worn by The Beatler, making this men's boots a great reputation.

In fact, "Chelsea boots" was not invented by The Beatles.

Chelsea boots originated from the equestrian activities in Vitoria, and its predecessor was riding boots.

Close to the foot, usually slightly higher than the ankle, the most obvious feature is that the two sides from the heel to the top of the shoe tube connected by elastic tape, very convenient to wear.

Matching a self-made suit can create a very strong British style.

The casual Chelsea boots and shoes are more round and match the cowboy corduroy.

Most importantly, these boots are the standard equipment of The Beatles, which can be seen in almost any picture on them. And The Beatler has signed its name on every pair of boots so as not to be confused with others.

Also, these boots can make people swagger.

Since then, The Beatles has been booming rapidly, and young people all over the world are crazy about them.

The British standard evening newspaper (Evening Standard) was named "The Beatles year" in 1963.

And when we examined and discussed the most popular bands on the planet with magnifying glass, Chelsea boots became the object of imitation by people all over the world.

At that time, the commentary said, "if you walk on King's road in London without wearing Chelsea boots, it's almost like no clothes."

And the daily mirror of Britain has come to a perfect conclusion - "boots are all about The Beatles."

Modern people (Mods)

Young groups appeared in England in the 60s of last century.

They are willing to try the latest fashioned costumes, and are fascinated by the design of costumes.

Wearing a Western-style suit and nine pairs of trousers, with sharp leather shoes or leather boots, pay attention to the appearance and cleanliness of the dress.

Everyone painstakingly imitated the French New Wave movie hero's hairstyle, leaving French mushroom head.

In winter, they prefer to wear a military coat to resist the cold. They still have a decent suit in their coats.

Noble heels

The heel can highlight a person's status and status.

The earliest record of equestrian heels came from the invading Mongolian.

It has been said that Mongolia cavalry swept across Europe in bright red wood and shoes and left their footprints in Europe.

Because horses are always required to have a certain economic strength, and riding on horseback can directly highlight the superior status, so knights and high heels represent dignitaries.

Until today, people say that a person has a good "heel", which means that this person is rich and honourable.

History of human boot

Like other shoes, leather boots are designed with changes in the needs and availability of boots and boots.

Wild animals often provide inspiration for boots makers, thus forming a modern fashion of leather boots.

When the Inuit people living above the Arctic Circle notice that the polar bear skins do not freeze even in the most severe climate, they use giant bear skins and bear paws to make leather boots.

Aborigines living in Hokkaido, Japan used skins to make leather boots.

The leather of North American reindeer and bearded seal has become the best material for Alaska offshore Indies to make winter leather boots.

In order to make the best waterproof leather boots, the samoed people used seal skin to turn the hairy side out.

In the extreme eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, it is very cold in winter and cool and foggy in summer. The Kamchatka leather boots made of fish skin can be worn under frost. This kind of leather boots can also be cooked and eaten up during famine.

This proves once again that "the best dressing wisdom is always in the public".

A man who is free and rebellious.

If the cowboy image is regarded as the enrichment of the American spirit, the secret to create this image must be a pair of Brown Cowboy Boots.

Cowboy boots represent the American spirit.

I believe that every man has the dream of becoming a cowboy in the western United States. He is quick and concealed, and leads a free life.

If the cowboy image is regarded as the enrichment of the American spirit, the secret to create this image must be a pair of Brown Cowboy Boots.

Former US President Bush once wore cowboy boots to show that he never forgot the American spirit.

The history of cowboy boots should be mentioned from the Duke of Wellington mentioned earlier.

After defeating Napoleon, in 1850 ~1880, Wellington boots became the designated boots of the US Army cavalry.

Although the infantry are assigned ordinary shoes, they still prefer Wellington boots.

The boots also moved west with the troops to the North American continent.

In the arduous trek of natural environment, soldiers often need to repair shoes to local villagers, so the military trek also opened the boots trade market in the western United States, and soldiers also became models trying on all kinds of new boots.

After testing all kinds of leather, oak's pale yellow Spanish leather has been tested as the main material of cowboy boots.

Cowboy boots evolved from military boots

From 1870s to 1880s, the roads and cars and railway pportation in the states of the United States were still underdeveloped, and the herders and cowboys concentrated in Dezhou, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Many of their trips were between state and state, facing unpredictable weather changes and difficult terrain. They began to ask local boots makers to improve their old designs into boots suited to their working environment.

Referring to the design of Cavalry Boot, which was common in the American Civil War in the early 1860s, cowboy boots came into being eventually.

After that, the style of cowboy boots was gradually separated from the styles of military boots.

The heel is higher and slightly tilted to the front, unlike the straight arms, and the shape of the boot is different from that of the military boots.

Tubes, boots, five stars and horseshoe patterns, sewing patterns and high heels become the symbol of cowboy boots.

In 1900, the 4 Leather Boots became the main styles. Their styles and colors varied: Dezhou boots with local characteristics, northern boots and big basin boots began to appear.

Those who are familiar with cowboy boots will know that there are 4 main boots.

One is a 4 piece leather, full of Wellington boots directly evolved from Wellington boots.

Of course, all Wellington boots still have production.

The original cowboy boots can be divided into two categories: the western style cowboy boots (Western) and the Roper.

The western style is known for its sloping heel design, and the heel is usually over 1 inches high.

According to customer demand, the toe can be ordered to create different shapes, but modern is usually dominated by pointed toe ends.

The ropes have a more complete, heel like heel, similar to ordinary leather shoes and heels no more than 1 inches.

The toe ends are designed from round or even square.

There are many different classifications among different Boots Companies, but now that people wearing cowboy boots are no longer confined to the cowboy group, many customers attach more importance to the choice of cowboy boots for their appearance than traditional ones.

Cowboy becomes urban rider.

In fact, the style of cowboy boots is entirely based on the need for riding.

The smooth leather shoes can make the wearer easily insert the foot into the stirrup of the western saddle or slide out of the saddle conveniently.

When riding, the high heel can prevent the foot from sliding down the stirrups.

On the other hand, if the rider unfortunately falls from the saddle and his boots are buckled on the stirrup, the boots without laces will naturally let the wearer out of the body because of the weight and gravity shift of the body.

The high boots can help to grasp the legs when walking, so as to make up for the lack of shoelaces.

The boot can also protect the rider's leg from friction with the saddle (similar to the thermal insulation function of the motorcycle boot).

The boots of the cowboy boots are also protected from other middle and high boots, such as gravel, thorns and snakes.

The traditional cowboy boots are waterproof designed to suit the humid environment.

Since then, the traditional cowboy boots are becoming more fashionable because of the heat of the western part of Hollywood.

In 1940s, the fashionable cusp began to replace the conservative round head.

With the gradual urbanization of the world, there is no longer a situation where one man and one horse walk in the wilderness. Nowadays men have already put the cowboy complex on the motorcycle and become the modern version of the cowboy urban horseman.

Martin boots (Dr.Martens)

While The Beatles and morden vigorously promote Chelsea's boots, another group of young British groups, Skinhead, began to admire Martin's Dr.Martens.

The Martin boots are actually made of military boots. The founder, Klaus Martens, fashioned the soles of the old plastic from the German Air Force base, using the accessories on the military jacket as buckles, and the upper leather was made of officers' leather trousers.

Unlike modern morden people, the skinheads prefer to wear the bigger clothes. They are defined as "parody of the working class".

The comfortable cushions of Martin boots were the favorite of the British working class at that time.

When the British police forbids the bald people to wear metal boots, the Martin boots of big one become their substitutes.

Not only that, in 70s, young people who liked to make trouble on the pitch began to spray the colors of their beloved team on their Martin boots.

The punks in Britain are also beginning to wear these boots, including the band The Clash and Madness.

It is worth pondering that at the same time, Martin boots became the essential equipment of the British police. "The soft soles of air cushions are twice the result of the pursuit of criminals. The high barrel design can protect the calf of the police.
