Different Toggi Boots For Different Needs

By Sally Delacruz


It is hard to imagine how hard life would have been if one is unable to use his or her feet. The foot is just as important as the hand, and it allows you to be able to perform many functions that are most essential in daily life. Without the feet, one can not go to places. One will never be able to feel the sensation of walking to check a new place out. One will never know how it feels to run, leap, hop, stumble down, then rise again. In short, it is easy to miss out on life if you are unable to walk.

All of these makes one appreciate the strength of those who can not use their feet. They will have to go to places by other means, and with the help of other people. This is a good time, as any other, to be thankful that you can still wear and use various foot apparel such as slippers, sandals, shoes, and toggi boots.

Boots are classified under shoes. They also cover the entire feet and even some parts of the lower leg. There are even other designs that reach as high up as the knee. They come in all styles, colors, patterns, and designs. They are typically worn with the pants tucked inside them. One will usually see this kind worn by equestrian and other people who work with quadrupeds.

Originally, they were used by those who work around horses. They were then called riding boots and are usually made of leather. Some reach the knee, some only reach mid calf. They feature different types of catch for them to be closed around the foot. The really dressy ones are laced up. Those who can not be bothered by such intricacies use those that have zippers at the back.

Under the rider category, jodphurs are absolutely popular. The typical appearance of this kind of riding boot is the rounded toe. It is fastened in place with a wraparound strap that locks into a buckle. Aside from the jodphur, other rider types can be zipped up, laced tight, or a combination of both.

Cowboy boots seem to be the colorful counterparts of those used by serious equestrians. They are only slightly shorter, too, and most often does not reach the knee. They come in different materials, colors and designs. They can be quite hard to mix and match to any ensemble, and that only adds to its unique characteristic.

Wellingtons are also extremely popular. They are attributed to the man who, according to history, first wore them. The Duke of Wellington is said to be the designer of these said apparel as well. Today, they are known to the public as rubber boots, though some are made out of flexible PVC material.

Mules are a cross between sandals and shoes. They are closed of in front but totally open at the rear. This type of footwear initially has a bad reputation because they were first worn and popularized by paid women. These shoes only regained a more positive stature when a famous Hollywood actress wore it and broke the stereotype attached to it.

Mules are also known as half shoes. They have closed front appearances, just like a slipper, and yet they are open at the back, like a slipper. They were avoided by most because they were originally linked to prostitutes, but are now socially acceptable. Chaps, in an altogether different light, are leather coverings used mainly by cowgirls and boys. They are worn over the pants to protect them when riding out on a horse.
