Platform sneakers

Snickers, arrowroot, becketts, platform sneakers, wedge sneakers. This shoe has many names and has not lost its relevance for several years now. And today, platform sneakers are already a common thing. What is the reason for such popularity? Let's try to figure it out.

Initially, sneakers were called any sports shoes with rubber soles and leather or fabric tops. And the current generation by this word means platform sneakers, since the creator of this shoe, the French shoe designer Isabelle Marant, called her creation that way. The name "arrowroot" is also associated with the name of the famous fashion designer. "Beckett" these shoes are called in the fashion industry, but only models with a hidden platform.

But “platform sneakers” and “wedge sneakers” differ only in rise, like all other shoes with this type of sole. That is, the platform is a sole, equally thickened over the entire area. In a wedge heel, the height of the sole increases, moving towards the heel (the rise under the toe of the foot is less, and under the heel more).

Children's models differ from adult Becketts only in a smaller rise. Fashion is fashion, and the safety and health of children comes first. You need to be extremely careful when choosing children's sneakers. Since sometimes not very conscientious manufacturers try to hide the low quality of children's sneakers with the help of bright prints and attractive colors. Good children's shoes should be comfortable and not cause pain to the child.

For boys, such shoes are also popular, because they not only look stylish and modern, but also allow you to run and play. But if for girls the choice of shoes on a large platform is simply huge, then for boys there are not so many options. For the most part, sneakers for boys come in less bright, but universal colors (mainly black and white).

Men, as conservative beings, do not like to change their habits and prefer boots, shoes and ordinary sneakers. But this does not mean that the designers did not take care of the strong half of humanity. Lovers of comfort have been able to appreciate this original shoe for a long time. Because sneakers will be in place during a trip, and on vacation, and even at work, if the rules of a strict dress code are not introduced at your work.In addition, there are many options for winter platform sneakers, which is also a huge plus in terms of choosing shoes.

The main thing is to correctly combine such sneakers with clothes. There are a number of simple rules here.

1. Snickers are absolutely not suitable for a strict office style. A classic suit can only be worn with classic shoes.
2. Skinny jeans and a striped or plaid shirt go well with platform sneakers. The shirt can be tucked into jeans, or left out - it's up to you.
3. For those who want to show off their athletic figure, you can pick up a bright, stylish T-shirt, not too tight, but not too wide.
4. Men's platform sneakers also harmonize well with sports trousers and shorts, sweatshirts and jackets.

No matter how beautiful and stylish “hairpins” look, every woman breathes a sigh of relief when she takes them off. Therefore, the appearance of such versatile shoes as platform or wedge sneakers caused a stir. One could only dream of such shoes! It is both comfortable and beautiful, and will come in handy in any life situation. The only exception is an evening dress and an office style that is ruthless even for fashionistas, where platform sneakers will not fit.

There are so many models and shapes of arrowroot that even the most demanding fashionistas will be able to find options to their liking.

1. Platform or wedge. Whether you choose a platform that is the same throughout the sole or a more feminine wedge, you are guaranteed comfort in any case.
2. Bright colors. Fans of bright colors can choose sneakers in bright intense colors - yellow, scarlet, cherry, salad.In addition, arrowroots of gold and silver color are also relevant. Becketts with prints are extremely popular - stripes, various drawings and inscriptions, floral ornaments.
3. Material. Sneakers with high soles are made of genuine leather and leatherette. Leather sneakers are not as popular as suede summer platform sneakers, but they are still in demand. The upper part of arrowroots can be made of leather, suede or fabric. You can find models of sneakers made of mesh or even lace, as well as from a combined fabric. Winter or autumn insulated models are often decorated with fur.
4. Decor. Trendy and self-confident girls can choose options for various forms of sneakers, with high tongues, original soles and other unusual designer features. In addition, there are many models with multi-colored lacing, chains and spikes, plastic and iron inserts, rhinestones and sequins, buckles of various shapes, large rubber straps.

Another important problem that arises when choosing shoes is what to wear with? There are a lot of solutions here, since platform sneakers are not so much sporty as feminine and rather elegant. Therefore, they can be worn not only with different styles of trousers, but also with dresses and skirts.

• Dresses. A light chiffon dress, a short leather jacket or jacket and beckets will help create a romantic look. Summer short dresses generally go very well with any light-colored beckets. These shoes can be worn with midi dresses and floor-length dresses, the main thing to remember is that your choice is still limited by styles.

• Skirts. Just as organically as dresses, high-soled sneakers are combined with skirts.You can create a completely sporty style - sneakers, a short skirt and, for example, a top. Or a romantic look - wedge sneakers, a sun skirt and a bright knitted sweater to match the shoes or a colored shirt. You can experiment and try to wear a strict pencil skirt with arrowroots. Only you need to combine them with something more informal than an office blouse.

• Jeans. Jeans and platform sneakers are classics of the genre. Moreover, arrowroots are combined with any models of jeans. For example, for a walk with a child, you can pick up a set of jeans and a sweatshirt, or a snow-white T-shirt with a leather jacket and bright sneakers. Such an image will be not only stylish and spectacular, but also very comfortable.

• Pants. Platform sneakers pair perfectly with sports pants, because these shoes were originally sports shoes. You can also pick up beautiful sets with tight trousers. For example, in smart casual style - black or white wedge sneakers, tight trousers and a white shirt. You can choose sneakers to match the trousers, this will help to sort of lengthen your legs and make you slimmer. Becketts go very well with cropped trousers, and bright tops, t-shirts or turtlenecks are suitable as a top.

• Leggings. With arrowroot and leggings, you can also pick up many combinations. The main thing here is not to forget that the top must be elongated. It can be an elongated T-shirt, tunic, short knitted dress or cardigan.

• Shorts. This is the best option for a hot summer. Combined with a tank top and light sneakers in bright colors, you will get a stylish sporty look.

• In winter, warm high-soled sneakers can be worn with short youth skirts under tight tights, preferably black.They can be combined with sports jackets, puffy coats, etc. And with a fur coat or with glamorous and expensive fur products, arrowroot will look ridiculous.

Bright and spectacular models look more advantageous on women with very slender legs. When choosing the color of arrowroots, it is worth considering the color of the clothes with which you will wear them. Combinations that correspond in saturation not to colors, but tones, will look ideal.

Customer reviews of platform or wedge sneakers are varied, but mostly enthusiastic. Consumers emphasize such advantages as convenience, versatility and originality. Dissatisfaction is expressed by those people who bought cheaper low-quality analogues of sneakers.
