History of athletic shoes
Athletic shoes have been around for a long time, with some evidence even suggesting that they date back 500 years. In those days, footwear was mainly used for horseback riding and was made of leather or buffalo hide. The first mention of athletic shoes, dates back to 1832, when Wait Webster decided to use a rubber sole. It was primarily used for cycling and cricket, but it was soon realized that athletes would also benefit from it. Then, in the early 1910s, Converse began producing its iconic sneakers. The typical athletic shoes we know so well were designed in the 1930s by tennis player René Lacoste. Since then, sports shoes have undergone many changes and significantly expanded the audience - today they are shoes for everyone! Not without significance is the fact that they are also on the target of fashion designers who want to combine them with various styles - including elegant.
What are sporty ankle boots?
Women's sport ankle boots are shoes with a relatively high upper, which covers the ankle, protecting it from mud, water and snow. The high upper also plays a purely decorative role, thanks to which there is more space for various prints and combinations of materials. The most popular type of sports shoes are immortal and comfortable sneakers, which are loved by millions of women in the world. Shoes once designed for athletes today are increasingly worn with a long dress or skirt and combined with other elegant closet items.
Types of sports ankle boots
Women's ankle sports shoes are popular among women who want to wear something stylish but still practical. In the daily rush, they rely on shoes that can withstand the spring sun as well as the summer heat or the autumn plunge. For fans of sports shoes, specially insulated sports shoes are produced, so that women can maintain their style regardless of the season or climate.
An extremely important factor in choosing women's ankle sports shoes is their purpose. Today's women wear this type of footwear not only with sports outfits, but also with a dress or a suit - both for work and everyday life. Such a wide application forces the designers to use a variety of forms and materials. The most frequently chosen sports ankle boots include leather models, breathable mesh shoes, with a sock and elastic upper, which allow to emphasize the slim leg and the ankle, as well as classic versions with laces and without laces.
In recent years, a true revolution has been the return to bold and extravagant forms of sports shoe soles. The top boutiques are dominated by shoes with high and thick soles. Most of today's elevated shoes are super lightweight models on a foam platform or anchor, which provide comfort and convenience of use even on warm days.
Many women choose ankle sports shoes to "loosen up" elegant styles and introduce an element of rebellion to them. That's why we so often see this type of footwear at formal parties and events in combination with tulle dresses and skirts.
Women's sporty ankle boots are an extremely versatile piece of clothing, so they must come in a full range of colors. The most popular are, of course, white, beige, blue, red and black, but recently colored models, gold, neon or silver were equally desirable.
