5 Types of Boots

Boots are shoes that cover the foot, ankle, and a part of the leg. Types of boots include:

1. Ankle boot: These boots extend up to the ankles. A slip-on ankle boot with an elastic side
panel is called a Chelsea boot, and an ankle boot made of suede or leather with laces is known
as a Chukka boot or desert boot.

2. Cowboy boots: Initially worn by cowboys as work boots, cowboy boots are heeled shoes with
a wide shaft that hits mid-calf.

3. Hiking boots: These athletic shoes have slip-resistant rubber soles, a thick insole for arch
support, thick upper material, and extend up to the ankle. These shoes are used for hiking and
walking in different weather conditions. Some hiking boots are insulated for warmth or are
waterproof.

4. Knee-high boots : These boots extend to the knee and have a heel and pointed or rounded
toe. Knee-high boots were originally created as horse riding boots to protect riders from mud.

5. Wellington boots: These waterproof boots (named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of
Wellington) protect feet from the rain. Wellington boots are also known as galoshes or rain
boots and have a thick, slip-resistant rubber sole and a shaft that hits at the mid-calf or knee.
This heading covers waterproof footwear with both the outer soles and the uppers (see General
Explanatory Note, paragraphs (C) and (D)), of rubber (as defined in Note 1 to Chapter 40), plastics or
textile material with an external layer of rubber or plastics being visible to the naked eye (see Note 3 (a) to
this Chapter), provided the uppers are neither fixed to the sole nor assembled by the processes named in
the heading.

would include, inter alia, certain snow-boots, galoshes, overshoes and ski-boots.

Footwear remains in this heading even if it is made partly of one and partly of another of the specified
materials (e.g., the soles may be of rubber and the uppers of woven fabric with an external layer of
plastics being visible to the naked eye; for the purpose of this provision no account should be taken of any
resulting change of colour).

14 Different Types of Shoes
Finding the right pair of shoes for an outfit or an event can be challenging. Below is a list of common
types of shoes:

1. Athletic shoes: Athletic shoes, also known as sneakers, have a rubber sole and canvas upper
and are designed to be worn while doing physical activity. There are different types of athletic
shoes for various functions. Running shoes have additional sole support to protect the feet
against ground impact, and tennis shoes are specifically designed to be flexible for tennis
players. High-tops extend up to the ankles and provide stability to basketball players.

2. Ballet flats: Traditionally, lace-up ballet shoes are worn by ballet dancers when they dance, but
an everyday version of the slip-on shoes, known as ballet flats, feature a rubber sole. Mary
Jane shoes are a version of a ballet flat with a strap across the top.

3. Boat shoes: These canvas or leather slip-on shoes have rubber soles that feature a cut pattern
to prevent slippage on wet decks.

4. Brogue shoes: Brogue shoes are any low-heeled shoe, loafer, or boot that features broguing,
or hole perforations. Brogue shoes are usually leather shoes and are common in menswear. A
wingtip is a type of brogues that has a W-shaped, pointed toe cap with wings that run along the
side of the shoe, ending before the ball of the foot.

5. Clogs: This refers to any slip-on shoe that has a thick, wooden sole and an open back.

6. Espadrilles: These summer shoes have a fiber sole and a canvas upper, and they lace up
around the ankles. Some espadrilles are flat, while others are platform shoes.

7. Flip flops: These flat sandals have a Y-shaped strap that separates the big toe from the other
toes. Flip flops are everyday casual shoes for the summer, particularly for the beach.

8. High heels: Any shoe with a heel that’s more than one inch is called a high-heel shoe. High
heels come in many styles, such as high heel sandals or stilettos with long and thin heels.

9. Loafers: Loafers are slip-on shoes with a heel and rounded toe. When made out of leather,
loafers can serve as a good pair of business shoes. Loafers made of fabric can be trendy
casual wear shoes. Penny loafers are a version of loafers with a leather strap on top.

10. Oxford shoes: These classic dress shoes lace up and have a low heel with a slightly pointed
toe. Oxford shoes are typically polished brown or black leather, and there are many variations.
A cap toe oxford has horizontal stitching on the toe box and is more of a formal shoe. A derby
shoe, also known as a blucher shoe, is a version of the oxford shoe with open lacing. The
shoelace eyelets are on top of the vamp—the front part of the shoe covering the toes and part
of the foot—which enables the derby shoe to lace up looser than the oxford shoe.

11. Monk strap shoes: Monk strap shoes look similar to oxford shoes, but instead of laces, the
enclosure is a wide strap across the vamp.

12. Platform shoes: This shoe style features a heel and a thick sole to elevate the foot off of the
ground. Platform shoes can be sandals, close-toed shoes, or boots.

13. Slingbacks: This refers to any shoe with a covered toe and a strap that goes around the heels
to secure the shoe. There are slingback heels as well as slingback flats.

14. Strappy sandals: These sandals have straps across the foot and sometimes up the ankles.
Strappy sandals can be flat or feature a low or high heel.

Process Abyhvqx cÖ¯‘Z Kiv nq hvnv wb¤œiæc:
(1) Press moulding
In this process, a core, sometimes covered by a textile "sock” which later forms
the lining of the article, is placed in a mould with either performs or granules.

The mould is closed and placed between the platens of a press, which are
heated to a high temperature.

Under the influence of the heat, the preforms or granules acquire a certain
degree of viscosity and completely fill the space between the core and the walls
of the mould; the excess material escapes through vents. The material then
vulcanises (rubber) or gels (poly(vinyl chloride)).

When the moulding process is complete, the shoe is taken out of the mould and
the core is removed.
