These practical beauties were created with a white, non-skid sole that would grip the deck of actual sailing vessels. Their treated leather or canvas uppers are meant to repel water. Designed to be worn without socks, these durable, tie-on shoes are the epitome of casual comfort and functionality. The first boat shoes marketed as such was the Sperry Top-Sider in 1935. Boat shoes broke out the marina in the 1980s when they became a footwear fashion statement for the preppies. Sperry still makes them, so does Sebago, and Toms makes its own laceless canvas version for the truly cutting-edge, philanthropist boat enthusiast. <br />Has there ever been a shoe that so loudly announces one political views? These slip-on sandals with soles made from cork and rubber and their less-than-refined triple buckle uppers have been a hippie staple for decades. If you think the shoes look like something a Medieval monk would wear, there a good reason. The Birkenstock family has been making shoes for hundreds of years. Johann Adam Birkenstock was a cobbler in 1774 in a tiny Rhineland town; it was his grandson,<a href="http://giuseppezanottiboots.halod.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">giuseppe zanotti boots Giuseppe Zanotti Design Online Store</span></a>, Konrad Birkenstock, who dreamed up the whole contoured insole idea in 1902. But it wasn until 1967, three years after Konrad descendant Karl Birkenstock married the contoured insole to the flexible arch support that the eponymous shoe crossed to Atlantic. The previously barefoot hippie population at long last had the footwear to match their Grateful Dead t-shirt collection. Rumor has it that nowadays some in the medical field who are on their feet all day (nurses, doctors, medical marijuana dispensers) swear by their Birkenstocks. <br />3. Converse Chuck Taylors <br />The Converse Rubber Shoe Company opened in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1908. From the start they were invested in practical footwear that could be worn year Specialization for sports began in 1915, when they produced shoes specifically for tennis. Two years later they debuted the Converse All-Star, manufactured especially for basketball. In 1921, Chuck Taylor, a basketball player, started working for the company to fulfill his dream of creating a comfortable shoe. He became Converse secret weapon, tirelessly promoting the shoe throughout the United States and soon his name was added to the Converse patch on each pair of All-Stars. The original Chuck Taylors were black with white trim; high tops with a rubber covering over the toe. In the mid-1960s, new colors were added to the line-up. While the shoe star status on the basketball court ended in the 1970s, the shoes remained popular with generations of slacker-prone teenagers, but even that wasn enough to prevent the company from going bankrupt in 2001. A new roster of talent was brought in to resurrect the brand, which led to a buyout by Nike in 2003. Today, the brand has been extended into numerous color schemes and styles for boys, girls, men, and women. The brand has reclaimed its iconic status with special editions featuring DC Comics heroes, Dr. Seuss characters, and Jimi Hendrix for collectors with the Chuck Taylor bug. <br />4. cowboy boots <br />Cowboy boots in America came of age in the 1860s to the 1880s in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, where long cattle drives on the plains became a regular part of a cowboy life. The traditional cowboy boot has a rounded pointed toe, a high shaft to prevent injuries from snakes and rough brush, and a Cuban heel. The Cuban heel is rounded at the back and angled from the heel to the ground. This helps a cowboy foot remain firmly in the stirrup. Boots made for riding have slightly higher heels than those made for walking. A main feature of cowboy boots is their lack of laces. This is to prevent cowboys from being dragged behind the horse. The thinking went that if a cowboy wore boots with laces and became unseated, the laces might snag on the stirrup, with fatal results. <br />Justin Boots, founded by Texan Joe Justin in 1879, was one of the first notable makers of cowboy boots. He popularized the concept of adding additional stitching on the boot shaft as a way of making the leather more stiff,<a href="http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">discount nike soccer shoes</span></a>, so it wouldn bunch around the ankle. His clients soon asked for star cut-out patterns on the shaft, which later evolved into more elaborate designs. Today most prestigious brands of cowboy boots are Tony Lama, a division of Justin, and Lucchese. <br />Today, roper boots are a popular variation on the traditional cowboy boot. The roper boot originated in the 1950s; they have a shorter shaft, rounder toe, and a lower, much more square heel less conducive to long rides out on the range, but appropriate for roping calves at the rodeo. <br />5,<a href="http://kdweathermanshoesforsale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">kd shoes</span></a>. Dr. Martens <br />Shodding hipsters since 1960s, Dr. Martens, or Docs, and their patented Bouncing Sole and yellow stitching are a British fashion mainstay. Yet, their genesis was Teutonic. Klaus Martens was doctor in the German army during World War II. (Ah, the skinheads ears just pricked up). The good doctor turned his ankle while skiing in the Bavarian Alps on leave. He modified his army boots with air padded insoles made of tires and got back to the business of fighting the Allies. After the war, he landed in Munich with an old college friend and went into the boot-making business, their secret being a stash of leftover rubber from a Luftwaffe airstrip. Rumor has it, German housewives loved these early boots. By the late 1950s business was booming and Marten sold out to a British company. The UK version of Dr. Martens debuted in 1960, with the newly trademarked AirWair sole. Police officers and factory workers were their original customers; it took the skinheads a good decade and a half to co-opt them. By the 1980s, the Dr. Marten-wearing subcultures had expanded to include punk rockers,<a href="http://duveticajacketsaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">duvetica down jackets sale</span></a>, New Wave musicians, and college students who wouldn be caught dead in Birkenstocks. While the brand has seen its ups and downs in recent years, all sorts of varieties are available for men, women, and children, from the hardcore high-rise 15-eyelet models to more demure slip ons. For the woman who likes her army boots with a dash of femininity patterns are the new black. <br />6. espadrille <br />The original version of this canvas sandal that is secured to the ankle with a cloth ribbon was a flat. Nowadays, a quick perusal of Zappos reveals hundreds of sky-high heeled versions, many of which share little DNA with the original incarnation. Espadrilles hail from the Pyrenees; they are defined by their jute rope sole and natural fibers. Dating back to the 1500s in Catalonia,<a href="http://giuseppezanotti.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">Giuseppe Zanotti Online</span></a>, Aragon, Occitania,<a href="http://cheapsoccercleats.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">Cheap Soccer Cleats</span></a>, and the rest of Basque country, these shoes were the footwear of choice (well, maybe the only footwear) worn by peasants, both men and women. Nowadays, espadrilles are mostly manufactured in Bangladesh, which is known for its high-quality jute. Yet many are still assembled in Spain, and the tourist will have no problem buying a souvenir pair from a family-owned enterprise of many generations. The espadrille, following the Spanish language across the pond,<a href="http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">Discount 2013 Nike Soccer Shoes online sale</span></a>, has been a mainstay of many South American countries, such as Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. <br />7. flip flops <br />Oh, the maligned onomatopoetic flip flop. The more refined among us hate you, and the more casual among us revere you. You noisy infiltrator into polite society, with your thong-y slap slap with every step. You are plastic beachwear that has gone upscale, with sequins and leather and price tags in the hundreds for couture designs. Your modern-day genesis has been ascribed to India or Japan,<a href="http://duveticajacketsaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">duvetica down jackets</span></a>, but we seen your iconic design on the walls of Egyptian tombs. Jesus wore them, the ancient Greeks and Romans too. How could the denizens of so many millennia be wrong? <br />When did this modern era begin? After World War II, American GIs brought home Japanese zori,<a href="http://parajumperssalefreeshippings.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">http://parajumperssalefreeshippings.blogspot.com/</span></a>, rice straw flip flops, with the straps attached much closer to the heel than American flip flops. We called them thongs until the 1970s,<a href="http://discountrogervivierflats.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">Buy Roger Vivier Designer Shoes Heels Online</span></a>, when the present nomenclature took hold and the t-word was relegated to underwear. Highly impractical for almost any endeavor other than beach bumming, these days one can see wearers of flip flops attempting all sorts of maneuvers better left to a foot enclosed in a proper shoe: driving, bike riding, chasing the dog down the street, dining at a fine restaurant, getting married, receiving a college degree,<a href="http://kdweathermanshoesforsale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">cheap jordans shoes foe sale</span></a>, or riding Space Mountain. <br />The flip flop is a global phenomenon. It is an elemental form of footwear, one that arose independently in cultures across the globe. It is also the cheapest, which means that for the billion or so people living on less than a dollar a day, the flip flop may be the only affordable way to protect one feet from whatever ground-level environmental hazards are indigenous to the area. <br />8. Nike Air Jordans <br />In 1964, Phil Knight of Blue Ribbon Sports was selling shoes at track meets from the trunk of his car. One waffle iron and 14 years later and Nike, Inc. was born. The first pair of Air Jordans, named for and promoted by legendary athlete Michael Jordan who was just starting his remarkable career with the Chicago Bulls, were produced in 1985: a high top leather sneaker featuring a prominent tongue. The red and black color scheme was unlike anything else on the market. Controversial, too. Because they contained no regulation white, Jordan was fined each time he set foot on the basketball court in the inaugural model of his namesake footwear until Nike altered the design the following year. For many years Air Jordans have been the bestselling basketball shoe on the market due to Nike marketing acumen, Michael Jordan lasting star power, and the public insatiable demand for expensive, fashion-forward footwear. Air Jordans have become collectors items for many men, who now can sympathize with the shoe-obsessed women in their lives. The colors, the styles, the camp-out event that each release date has become proves that the irrational love of shoes that passes all human understanding knows no gender boundary. <br />9. penny loafers <br />These laceless, slip-on shoes come in many variations, some with actual pennies stuck in the vamp. The term loafer refers to any low-rise leather slip on shoe with a moccasin-style construction. Originally conceived as a casual shoe for men,<a href="http://giuseppezanotti.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">http://giuseppezanotti.webmium.com/</span></a>, the loafer,<a href="http://cheapnikesoccercleats.webmium.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">2013 Cheap Nike Soccer Shoes Online Adidas Soccer Shoes For Sale</span></a>, like the saddle shoe, saw its popularity skyrocket in the 1950s. Like boat shoes, they became a shoe of choice for the preppies of the 1980s. Penny loafers originated in 1930s Norway, of all places. Americans visiting Europe liked what they saw, and stateside the Spaulding family in New Hampshire became the first to make penny loafers in the New World. They were followed closely by the Bass company in Wilton, Maine, who produced the shoe and named them weejuns, a term of endearment for Norwegians. Bass weejuns were manufactured with a little diamond-shaped cutout that enterprising students of the 1950s turned into a receptacle for their 2 cents: Presto penny loafer was born. Common variations on the loafer include the tasseled loafer (self-explanatory) and the Gucci loafer, which debuted in 1966 and features a metal detail in the shape of a horse bit. Loafers became de rigueur for Wall Street corporate raiders in the 1980s, a bit of bad publicity counteracted by Michael Jackson black loafer-and-white-sock combo, in which he famously moonwalked into his fans hearts. <br />10,<a href="http://kdweathermanshoesforsale.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">http://kdweathermanshoesforsale.blogspot.com/</span></a>. saddle shoes <br />These Oxford-style lace-ups are synonymous with 1950s poodle skirts and buxom cheerleaders. The style originated sometime in the early 20th century and became popular in the 1920s as an athletic shoe their identification with cheerleaders. Typically a white, thick-soled shoe with a black saddle-shaped design stitched over the mid-sole, the saddle shoe has expanded in recent decades to feature numerous color combinations for the boho shoe aficionado. Saddle shoes are made for both men and women; men who favor them often are part of the ska scene or the swing dance scene,<a href="http://discountrogervivierflats.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight: bold">Roger Vivier Designer Heels Online</span></a>, where a dapper style mandates a bit of footwear flair. Today, Bass still manufactures saddle shoes for the diehard fashionistas who love a good throwback. Dr. Marten and Cole Haan also have saddle shoe styles in their line-ups. <br />相关的主题文章： <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://lingzis.51.net/cgi-bin/guest/guestbook.cgi?mode=res" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://lingzis.51.net/cgi-bin/guest/guestbook.cgi?mode=res</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.8090chao.net/" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.8090chao.net/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://hnrku.net/" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://hnrku.net/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://bbs.eoe.cn/" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://bbs.eoe.cn/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.commonsnapper.com/joyful.cgi" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.commonsnapper.com/joyful.cgi</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ruzhou123.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=820367" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.ruzhou123.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=820367</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://e0575.cn/" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://e0575.cn/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://seqj.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1244938" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://seqj.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1244938</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.netlog.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.netlog.com/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://enmira.no/d6/node/32#comment-435876" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://enmira.no/d6/node/32#comment-435876</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/Aeolus/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
