In general court shoes have certain characteristics that are worth considering when deciding on your purchase:
-The purity of their lines, which in some cases produces a very sober shoe
-They are very light
-They leave a large part of the instep exposed
-The heel is an essential element: its height and thickness determine the type of shoe
All these characteristics give court shoes extraordinary elegance, especially due to their ability to make the person wearing them look taller and slimmer.
There are many types and varieties of court shoe to suit every style and individual. The most common types are:
-Standard court shoe: the most common type. They stand out because of their pure lines and simplicity, as well as their slip-on design.
-- Pointed toe shoes: Very similar to the standard court shoe, but with a more pointed toe./p
-Stiletto: These models have the highest heel. If it is 7cm or more, it can be considered a stiletto. Because of their heel, these are the shoes that enhance your figure most.
-Peep toes: They have an opening on the toe and, as they recall the pin-up fashion of the '50s, they retain a certain vintage touch.
-T-Bar: Characterised by two bands, one around the ankle and another across the instep. The way they are arranged looks like a 'T', hence the name. It is a system that ensures greater comfort by providing a better grip around the ankle.
This type of footwear is very ductile, as we can also find unexpected and surprising variations such as court shoes in the shape of women's Oxford shoes, designs with bands like Mary Janes, others in the shape of ankle boots, some with platform soles, and many others. However, if you want a court shoe while avoiding the demands of high heels, wedge heels are a great option for comfort.
To match an outfit with court shoes, the following points should be taken into account. Of course, these are just guides, not rules, so they can always be varied according to the effect you want to create.
-Heel height: We recommend wearing shoes with higher heels with long dresses or long skirts. For short dresses, the most suitable are medium- or low-heeled shoes. But, yes, combining short dresses with high heels creates the image of longer legs.
-Decorative features: As is common in the world of footwear, there is a relationship between greater formality and austerity in the decorative features.
As is usual in other types of footwear, colours are usually related to the more or less formal look you want to create. Black or sober-coloured court shoes are always more suitable when wearing very formal garments such as an elegant dress or a plain suit or skirt, preferably black or grey, medium to long in length.
More colourful shoes provide a relaxing touch, so they can be combined with T-shirts, blouses, jeans, trousers or printed skirts. A very fresh style, one which is particularly appealing for casual and elegant leisure occasions, consists in combining red or eye-catching court shoes with black trousers.
The origin of the court shoe is closely linked to recreational events that took place among the aristocracy of the eighteenth century. These events, mainly ballroom dances, have conditioned the formality that has characterised this woman's shoe ever since.
Their use extended to the bourgeoisie in the nineteenth century, given the extraordinary sense of elegance they provided. These shoes became more comfortable in the twentieth century, which is why they began to be included in the wardrobes of all kinds of women. Nowadays they are very widely used and have moved away from from their aristocratic origins, although they still retain an unquestionable style that is ideal for more formal occasions.
