Chippewa Boots and Justin Boots Are Well Aware of the Modern Way of Approaching Dress

By Rayna Roy

Chippewa boots and Justin boots are as popular as any other brand name western boot. The reason for their success is their years of experience and history repeating and connection to the original look and purpose of the western boot.

Bringing forward from the old western days, Chippewa and Justin boots founding fathers and designers have worked hard to maintain the traditional view and opinion of the western boot while keeping up with the demands of modern man and woman as far as fit, feel, and fashion are concerned.

We all like to use a traditionally casual apparel to present ourselves and be accepted for being dressed properly for the occasion ever though the occasion has traditionally been considered to be more than a casual one. Chippewa boots and Justin boots are well aware of the modern way of approaching dress in most circles and consider that knowledge one of the demands of the public that needs to be dealt with on a design and marketing level.

Fashion is the major concern of any shoe and boot company simply because their business is a direct part of the clothing industry. In many parts of the world, the cowboy, cowgirl, and ranch type clothing is the type of clothing generally worn by most people. That being said, both formal and casual fashion must be supplied to that public in quality and styles that meet the acceptance and approval of the culture and the occasion. Chippewa and Justin boots provide styles in a verity that can meet any dress requirement for any occasion.

Mountaineering Boots - A Revolution in Progress

By Jon Rose

A few decades ago frost-bitten toes were considered an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of mountaineering. If you climbed enough you were bound to have a couple go numb or worse. This is no longer the case. A revolution in mountaineering boots has produced footwear that can stay dry even after days of trudging through snow and that can keep your feet warm even in the icy cold of high-altitude peaks. And the revolution is still continuing. New materials and insulation are leading to boots that are lighter, warmer and safer than ever.

A brief history of mountain footwear would have to go all the way back to 3,300 BC and Otzi, the iceman whose body was found in a glacier between Austria and Italy. Otzi's shoes were waterproof and insulated to allow him to walk across the snow. In more recent years leather boots came to dominate mountaineering. These were often made of double layers to help insulate toes and the leather would have been impregnated and treated to help keep water out. But even the best leather mountaineering boots will wet through after a few days on the snow. And wet boots means cold feet and the risk of frostbite.

The more recent innovations have been in plastic double mountaineering boots. One of the most famous of these was the Scarpa Vega (in America it is known as the Scarpa Inferno). This boot is made of thick waterproof plastic on the outside and it has a thick foam inner boot for insulation. The Scarpa Vega was revolutionary for its time and for years dominated the field. This Scarpa boot has probably been to the summit of more high peaks than any other boot in history. Yet even this has been surpassed and Scarpa now recommends this boot for low 8000m peaks with over-gaiters and suggests it only be used to temperatures of -30 C (with special high altitude inner booties). But this is a clumsy and uncomfortable boot to wear and is not loved much.

The boots that have surpassed it include the Scarpa Omega which is much more nimble and offers almost the same degree of insulation. Even warmer boots include Scarpa's Phantom 8000, which is light and warm and rated down to minus 40 C. Another is made by the rival firm La Sportiva. Its Olympus Mons Evo boot is also super warm and light. These advances in mountaineering boots mean that the risk of losing a toe or two while on high mountains is significantly reduced.

You can read more about mountaineering boots and specific boots such as the Scarpa Omega.

Comfortable and Fashionable Men's Winter Boots and Clogs

By Brent Archer

There comes a time in every man's life when the have to buy a pair of winter boots or some clogs. Everyone wants their winter boots to be comfortable, and unless you are only wearing the boots to go out the barn, you also want them to be fashionable. The good news is that finding a pair of comfortable and fashionable boots or clogs doesn't have to be difficult. You just have to know what you are looking for.

When you are going shopping for a pair of winter boots that are comfortable and fashionable, you want to be wearing the same kind of sock that you will be wearing on days that you will typically be wearing your boots. The thickness of your socks, are going to play a huge part in how well the boots fit. Boots that fit comfortably when you are wearing lightweight socks are going to be to tight when you put on your thicker winter socks.

No one is going to be comfortable when their socks are soaking wet, so when you are looking at winter boots you want to make sure they are going to be tall enough so snow doesn't fall through the tops. Hopefully you know how deep the average snow drift that you trek through is going to be.

It is impossible to be comfortable or fashionable when your feet are sweating. If you are going to routinely wear your winter boots indoors for long periods of time, you will want to look for a pair that aren't to hot and will allow some air flow to your feet.

If you are planning on wearing your winter boots in and out a lot, you should find a pair with a slightly shallower than average tred. The shallower tread will cut back on the amount of dirty slush your track indoors.

He shows the importance of using some stegmann wool clogs in order to get rid of the intense and unbearable foot pain you might be experiencing.

Rain Boots - The Footwear For the Wet Spring

By Dogarsahab Ubaid

The rain boot which are also called gum boots are made with water proof material, is a must during the spring and early part of summer when it is wet every where. The first rain boots were produced for an order made by the first Duke of Wellington of England. These boots which reach up to a little lower than knee level were called Wellington boots. At first, the Wellington boots which were commonly called rain boots were made of leather but after vulcanizing was invented; these are manufactured out of rubber.

Used for the protection of feet from water and mud, these cheap kind of boots are generally made of canvas and natural rubber. There are many industries where the these are used extensively. In chemical industry it is used to protect the feet of the workers from coming into contact with dangerous chemicals. In dairy industry it is used in dairies to prevent contamination coming into the dairy plant from outside.

In the world of fashion too there is a place for it as every spring when there is water all over, the fashionable people who go outside need to wear them. These fashionable gum boots are available in different colors and different designs. Made of mostly leather they are comparatively more expensive than the ordinary ones worn by industrial sector workers. Normal cheap rain boots are made with a rubber sole as rubber is a material that does not absorb water. There are specially made rubber soles for industrial use which are not slippery on hard wet surfaces.

A modified version of this is worn by the fire fighters. These are specially made using fire retardant material and they are yellow in color to make them easily visible. In special applications of gum boots, there are ones specially manufactured for children and young girls.

Narrow Fitting Boots For Small Calves

By Gareth Irvine

It's not just women with curvaceous calves that have problems when it comes to finding boots that fit. If you're blessed with slender legs, finding a pair of boots that fit both your feet and your legs can be equally difficult. Most high street shoe shops stock a standard width fitting when it comes to boots, failing to realise that there's no such thing as a 'standard' woman. Every woman's figure is unique and if you're particularly slim, finding the perfect pair of boots can be just as difficult as finding a pair of boots to fit curvy calves.

However, some retailers have realised that no two customers are alike and are now offering a much wider range of fittings, both for your feet and your legs. The best place to find these forward-thinking retailers is online, where you'll find a full range of width fittings to suit every individual shape and size. By simply measuring the widest part of your calf and supplying them with your exact measurements, they will be able to provide you with a pair of boots that fit perfectly from the moment you put them on.

Badly fitted boots don't just look wrong, they feel uncomfortable too. If your boots are too loose around your leg they will lose their shape quickly, becoming creased and wrinkled particularly around the ankles. This may cause you to tense your foot to 'hold the boot on', making aching feet and even blisters a real problem. Putting an extra-thick pair of socks on won't solve the problem either - all that will do is make the boot tight around your feet, again causing discomfort and possibly more of those pesky blisters. The lifespan of the boot is also shortened, particularly if the boots are made of leather, as the creases around the ankles will quickly crack the surface of the leather and allow the elements in, damaging the material.

There are other alternatives. If your boots are just a little too loose, you can change the way you wear them by blending in this year's biggest fashion statement into your look - boots over jeans. The additional layer of fabric will add a little bulk to your calves and give you a more curvaceous look, perfect if you have very thin calves and want to achieve a more 'womanly' look. Consider other fabrics such as micro-suede or man-made materials. Although these do have a fair amount of 'give' in them, they'll only stretch a certain amount and how you wear your boot can make a big difference to your overall look. This season's 'scrunched' style lets you disguise thin calves with comfortable, relatively loose fitting boots worn over jeans for a casual, everyday look.

The ultimate is, of course, to buy a pair of boots made to your exact measurements. By doing this you are guaranteed a pair of boots that will fit perfectly from the moment you put them on. The investment is worth it in the long run because you will end up with a pair of boots that last years, not just one season, and will continue to look fantastic for a lifetime.

Having narrow calves doesn't stop you from wearing stylish, fashionable boots in every colour from the classic brown and black through to this season's hottest trend, purple. Your best bet for a great fitting pair of narrow calf boots are the specialist online retailers who offer the full range of fittings for every woman's shape, be that curvaceous calves or slender and slim!

Black Thigh High Boots - Hot Trend Or Trusty Old Item?

By Kathy Forcey

Any women who follows fashion will know, clothing goes in and out of fashion just as shoes and jewelery does. But there are some trends that come back time and time again, many things that you see featured in today's fashion magazines can probably be found in the back of your older sisters (or mums) closet.

One fashion trend that seems to come around every 10 years are thigh high boots, from the late flower power days through to Madonna there always seems to be a pop singer who has them as part of their stage clothing. This extra exposure brings them back to the forefront of younger girls who don't remember the last time they were high fashion and that creates a market for them.

Black thigh high boots really started coming into fashion in the 80's when Madonna wore them in her music videos. She was such a massive star and her videos were on TV constantly so every girl wanted to wear what she was wearing. Platform boots were all the rage when the spice girls were top of their game.

Here we are in late 2009 and they are back with a vengeance and everyone wants to own a pair of thigh high boots. The beauty of them is that they can be worn by anyone whether they are young or old, skinny or not. They work with any outfit including jeans, trousers, skirts and tights. They also come in a huge variety of styles and designs too including black leather, suede, lace up, zip up and more.

Black thigh high boots are mainly for going out (they will make heads turn) but can be worn for everyday use if you live or work in the right sort of environment. If you are in a fashion orientated work place then you will be fine, if you work on a farm or in a mortuary then you may need to consider some other type of shoes for work.

As said before these boots are the kind of trend that come back into fashion time and time again so investing in a quality pair is a good idea. They will last for a lifetime so every time they come back into fashion, you will have them ready and waiting in your closet!

Do You Know What You Are Looking For?

Black thigh high boots can be incredibly sexy yet can also be worn outside the bedroom. Knowing which ones to buy for which occasion is the secret.

We have news and views on all kinds of ladies boots.
