JUICY ADVENTURES OF THE HEEL

Men admire with knock of ladies' heels. Women — their form and height. Plus aesthetic aspect. If to concern a practical side the heel is an external detail of a bottom of footwear. It is applied to lifting of a calcaneal part of foot on certain height. The heel "was born" in 12 century in Persia as "soldier". It helped the horseman during battles. A heel it was easier to grasp a stirrup. But given "soldier" very long could not win Europe. Only at Louis XIV court yard in 17 century it became a part of daily footwear. As is known, the king was low growth. Therefore at a court yard the fashion on huge heels has instantly got accustomed. Here really revolutionary decision from above!

However, changing and being improved, the heel "has understood", that it — not the upstart, and a reliable support. Our foot has such features which simply appeal to heel services. And truly generated "assistant" to suitable height — that is necessary. Small and strong, it provides correct distribution of weight between fingers of feet and a heel, and also raises elasticity of a boot. As they say, it is small yes it is daring.

MANY-SIDED "ELECT"

Обувщик prepares soles and a heel. It is guided задумками the designer who created concrete model. A heel paint or fit a skin. Type-setting collect from фликов (these are details чепрачной the skin collected in some layers under the form and height of a heel).

"Elects" also distinguish under the form: a hairpin, a column, Viennese, клиновидный and many other things. On a design: whole, multilayered, with cavities and without cavities; whole with the simulated heel-tap, with deepening, with a cut on a face-to-face surface for refuelling at covering, with a metal nozzle; and on a way of an arrangement on footwear: on a sole, a platform, a trace of the tightened footwear; on height; on a material. A sole and a heel — our "base". They act in a uniform tandem. Therefore we should know about properties of materials and soles, and a heel.

So, we will concern this rare, but an interesting theme. What is used, when it is necessary to put on us?

COMPOUND OUR "SUPPORT"

First of all — a skin. It is hygienic. Well passes both air, and steam. But it is not recommended to be carried in crude snow weather. After all the "whimsical" skin inflates and loses the merits. For preventive maintenance of its "whims" do an overlay on nosochno-puchkovuju a footwear part. Кожволон — a leather substitute. It is close to it on the properties. But unlike «the whimsical madam» it is water-proof and is less used up. ТЭП — thermoplastic эластомер. Easy and elastic. It is steady to истиранию and it is cold-resistant. At low temperatures does not burst. And to bend it it is possible as much as necessary. Полиуретан — "is prolific". Has more than 100 versions. The footwear with its sole is easy and elastic. PVC — polyvinylchloride — elastic, porous, easy. All it is good for summer footwear. Microporous rubber — too easy and elastic, well keeps heat. Plastic materials — not only are easy, but also are steady to истиранию. The rubber — too «all took»: It is easy and elastic, does not pass a moisture, it is used up slowly.

DEFORMATION OF FOOT WISH?

Whether but so heels "are small"? We will talk about their "growth". On height distinguish: low (to 29 mm), averages (from 30 to 49 mm), high (from 50 to 60 mm) and especially high (to 60 mm) "persons". The footwear without a heel is not calculated on foot support. Therefore it «бескаблучность» leads to development плоскостопия and to problems with a backbone. Low and average heels — quite good «служаки». They help at walking both to you, and yours ступням — preserve against weariness. Now at young as shoe "hits" thick not bending soles-platforms act. But they are extremely harmful for daily socks. After all in these "hits" foot muscles almost do not work. And at teenagers of a muscle, a sinew and a sheaf are still insufficiently strong. A direct way not to youth fun, and to traumas.

Still большее mistrust causes footwear on a hairpin. Against it — the weighty medical bases. What to hide, high heels — torture for feet. Choosing them, you transfer the centre of gravity to other point. And it is reflected not only in a condition of feet, but also on your backbone. A foot lose necessary sensitivity. Gait first of all changes. For a long time it is known, that shoes on hairpins are harmful to joints. But it has appeared, that the wide high heel is not better at all. Scientists confirm: at equal height the wide heel is even worse than hairpins. It increases risk even more to earn a knee arthritis.

At walking barefoot the forces operating on a knee, are identical at men and women. However at ladies the osteoarthritis of a knee joint meets twice more often. Probably, all business in these "wreckers" — high heels. If the heel height exceeds 4 centimetres, the basin is displaced forward — and you lose balance. It forces to lean back back. And such pose strengthens not only displacement тазовых bones, but also a back bend. Further — a backbone curvature. Besides all weight of a body is transferred on fingers of feet, and the calcaneal sinew will gradually atrophy. And here to you, please, — foot deformation! Therefore venerators of very tall heels in footwear on a normal sole feel... A pain! Really the effect is more expensive than health?

However, is small «процентик» ladies who declare something fantastic. Ostensibly after a flat sole high heels — pleasure is simple. The most surprising that they do not lie. Simply their distressful feet have changed... The structure! One muscles have developed, others have atrophied. Where it is not necessary — наросли to a bone. To go like it is convenient, but the body weight is not distributed any more on all foot, and falls on fingers. Only without insults, but in the same way, on fingers, all animals go. Our ladies of years ten daily accustomed the feet to heels-towers. And here the forward part of their foot, sorry, has naturally turned in... "Hoof". And the decision of these problems — sad: by means of orthopedic footwear or surgical intervention.

To whom intrigues of high heels are especially dangerous? For those ladies that have predisposition to межпозвонковым to hernias. "Wrecker" will aggravate a situation. And for those who suffers hypostases of anklebones as blood circulation in a foot is at a loss. Thus the anklebone muscles bear loading smaller, than it is necessary to it. Namely these muscles play the major role in blood circulation. They act some kind of the pump for venous blood. By the way, the "artful" high heel is capable to cause blood circulation infringement in a basin. Reduction of an easy approach of blood in basin area can lead to juicy consequences. Interest of the lady to sex ослабнет, and easier speaking, it becomes frigid. About yes, such threats will not leave any indifferent! And we make the choice. Only the footwear on a platform, and is even better — with a flat steady heel. It also is our true companion!

WHEN UNCONTROLLABLY PULLS UP

Here unless sometimes... On any magnificent party... After all elegant shoes are so seductive... And the increased heel — well, this eternal aspiration of our women there — up. If Hermes had winged sandals also to ladies though occasionally it is possible to allow launch. It is proved, that the high heel makes even больший effect, than a courageous decollete. But, naturally, both that and another — only on a holiday, instead of at office. A hairpin on work are your semibent feet by the end of the working day and a smile of associates.

INDICATORS "LUX"

For this reason the most fashionable footwear — convenient. Here its indicators. A steady wide heel of optimum height of 4-6 centimetres. Natural width a sock. The extended top which densely clasps — at the expense of hard шнуровки — an ankle joint. Springing, not too firm sole. Natural "breathing" materials.

REFERENCE POINT — «GOLD SECTION»

But so it would be desirable to "reach" parametres of top models sometimes! However to try to keep step with long feet too it is necessary rather. Beautifully that differs harmonious parities. How to check up itself on proportionality? It is necessary to take the relation of growth to length of a body from a waist downwards and to compare to gold section. Gold section — 1,61. To define height of the heels is better, being verified with the given proportions. If there is no all one centimetre, heels in 10 sm "will extend" feet to "ostrich's" — unpleasant impression. But, let us assume, 4-5-сантиметровый the heel will seem to the low. Then as more harmless variant the platform will serve. It carried still древневосточные beauties. They rose on platform soles to achieve the held down and uncertain step. And their defencelessness involved men even more.

ITS CENTURY ADVENTURES

You remember, that the heel began as "soldier". However truly ladies' heel was thought up by Spaniards only in 17 century. Visually to reduce a leg, during an epoch роккоко he has got over is more subcentral soles. And during rough times of the Parisian revolution when had no time for beauty, a heel simply... Has disappeared — has given way to flat shoes on outsets. Years of the First World War when the mankind aspired — forgetting horrors of fights! — to seize it is more than luxury faster, have brought high heels-liqueur glasses. The Charleston and a jazz have presented the "dandies" decorated with pastes and spangles. Диор has brought into fashion graceful shoes on a high heel — they corresponded to an orientation of its models and style. In a twist it was convenient to "come off" on wide square heels. The seventieth have returned to the world heels-retro. The long period of flat footwear of the Japanese designers then lasted. In the late eighties the last century the Renaissance of heels has come from London. Then «гранж», and in footwear a wave of platforms (already their third generation). The neodisco has overflowed the world a wave of various thin and high heels. Then there were many-sided "visitors". In the form of two crossed ladies' legs — Аззедин Алайя. From transparent vinyl — Пако Рабан. In the form of an egg — Аделин Андре or — a corkscrew — Жозефус Тимистер.

VICTIM OF EXPERIMENTS? NO, THE RELIABLE FRIEND!

It just that detail of female footwear over which recently designers very like to experiment. Conjure with originality and even pretentiousness of a heel. At the expense of it it is reached экспрессивность modern footwear. And on what to stop to us? The heel at boots of the business woman should be neutral height — 4,5-5 see If you полноваты and low growth, avoid massive square heels. To extend feet higher and narrow "friend" will help. If your growth comes nearer to a critical mark, can take advantage of boots on a flat sole. Such models are presented in last collection Christian Dior.

Here the psychological recommendation. Do not bury on service in «каблучном a passion» — try to be below the chief-man. Too high heel (accordingly and growth) the subordinate can develop in it Napoleon's complex. And "Bonapartism" of the chief will not add to you positive emotions. But we will return to "birthday man". Not so long ago there was a heel passing in a heel. It is actual and now. Sharp-nosed лодочки in the spirit of the fiftieth — on thin graceful heels of any height — classics who and is considered today special "peep". The second season fashion designers try to lift the woman on new height. It becomes by means of a "flat" heel which in a profile creates hairpin illusion. Such footwear gives to the owner some superfluous square centimetres of a support. But from it the high heel does not become more convenient. And the majority of young women has ignored this innovation.

The man's heel encourages the constancy. Now gentlemen prefer convenience. Here modern forms of a heel of a classical man's boot: slightly asymmetric (most comfortable); trapezoid, expanded from top to bottom (it is characteristic for boots with wide носочной a part); trapezoid, made narrower from top to bottom — for boots with a narrow nose. "Assortment" is insignificant. But heats heart the traditional character.

CONSERVATIVE "KID"

And it pleases. After all even the most fashionable and original models for children bear the most important function. They should help to a small leg to develop correctly. Naturally, to children's footwear increased requirements are shown. Convenience and functionality — here two indispensable conditions for children's footwear. It should be strong, but not constrain foot of the child. Stability, ease, гигиеничность are still necessary. Too it is impossible to forget About an aesthetics. Than the footwear of children's assortment differs from the adult? First of all materials. They here more thin, easy and harmless. Therefore in preschool footwear and bootees artificial and synthetic materials for a bottom and footwear top are forbidden. Except a natural skin it is authorised to apply to a footwear bottom only малотоксичные porous rubbers or rubber "kid". The design «nurseries штиблет» should correspond to rigid parametres. To provide normal development of foot of children. To be convenient at putting on. A heel? Only the low! In height to one centimetre. The average heel — to 45 mm — is supposed only for the maiden footwear (the size 22,5-26,0). It is impossible to make school and малодетскую footwear with an open calcaneal part. Because closed fixes foot is better. This condition of its true formation in the course of growth. All requirements — severe. But fair.
