{"id":3560,"count":27,"description":"Where does the shoe come from and how did it evolve? I will answer your questions, but also present the different types of shoes that exist for men.\r\n

The history of the shoe<\/h2>\r\nShoes were created to protect the feet from all the aggressions they could undergo. Before, animal skins covered the feet and in warmer countries, they used palm leaves to avoid burning the feet.\r\n\r\nIn ancient times, wearing a sandal was a sign of power while the people were often barefoot. Then, in the Middle Ages, men started to be fashionable and wore poulaines. Shoes with long and pointed toes that they wore with a suit<\/a>.\r\n\r\nDuring the renaissance, men changed their shoes for more practical ones. The toes are wider and square, they are called bear feet or duckbill.\r\n\r\nDuring the French Revolution, the boot and the pump were born. It is in the 19th century that shoes are democratized. The middle class invests in shoes. The shoes are more and more varied.\r\n\r\nThey are found for work, outings and sports. For manufacturers, who now produce them in series, offer various models at competitive prices.\r\n\r\nNew shoes are emerging, such as moccasins and lace-up shoes. But the colors remain limited with white, black and brown.\r\n\r\nToday, we have a very wide choice of color and shape. It no longer reflects our social class. It is often a fashion and our style that makes us wear this or that shoe.\r\n\r\nSome even wear them without socks<\/strong><\/a>, but wearing shoes without socks requires some precautions!\r\n

The different types of shoes for men<\/h2>\r\n

The Richelieu for men<\/h3>\r\nTo be sure to recognize a pair of men\u2019s Richelieu shoes<\/a>, you have to examine its lacing. It is said that it is closed, the guarantors are sewn under the vamp. These are very elegant shoes.\r\n\r\nThe One Cut models have no visible seams since they are made with a single piece of leather. The bib has no garant, the eyelets are positioned on a piece of leather.\r\n\r\nThe Saddle models have a leather reinforcement around the instep. It was made for sportsmen, so that the foot is better maintained.\r\n\r\nThe Balmoral models have a special cut of the upper and the guards extend to the back of the shoe.\r\n

The Derbie for men<\/h3>\r\nHere again, you can recognize a pair of Derby thanks to its lacing. The guarantors are free, because the quarters are slapped on the vamp.\r\n\r\nThe Buck model is made with white nubuck or suede leather.\r\n\r\nThe hunting Derbie must be made with a Norwegian assembly and the vamp is assembled with a single piece of leather.\r\n\r\nThe half hunting Derbie must be made with a Goodyear assembly and is composed of two pieces of leather for the vamp and the quarters.\r\n

The pair of Moccasins<\/h3>\r\nThe moccasin is a more casual shoe. It does not have laces and is less rigid.\r\n\r\nGenerally used in moments of relaxation, they can also be made more elegant and more rigid with decorations of their own. A good shoe polish is essential to keep your leather shoes looking new for as long as possible.\r\n

Boots for men<\/h3>\r\nMen\u2019s boots are very comfortable and easy to put on. They are all high, above the ankle.\r\n\r\nThe Balmoral boot is closed with laces and made like a Richelieu. The Brodequin is a high top derby. The boot that closes with buttons is custom made.\r\n\r\nThe Chukka boot closes with laces and is made like a Derby. The Jodhpur boot, which is attached with a strap at the ankle.\r\n\r\nThe Chelsea boots that has elastic on the sides. And finally the zipper boot that closes with a zipper.\r\n

The sneakers<\/h3>\r\nThey are timeless and worn by a large majority of men, from the classic white sneakers<\/a><\/strong> through the eternal Stan Smith, the choice is wide and made for everyone to find his style of sneakers.\r\n\r\nAll these shoes for men have different decorations, perforated, with buttons \u2026 They are all stylish and classy shoes.
