Different Toggi Boots For Different Needs

By Sally Delacruz


The feet is a very important part of the human body. It is also the most used, apart from our hands. With our feet, we can jump to reach high places. We can hop and leap over obstacles. We can climb the stairs to get to another part of the house, school, office, or any building. We can use it to flee or to fight as well.

Since the feet is mostly used, it needs to be protected. Before, people had to walk around barefooted that is why they usually suffer from splinters and other injuries sustained on foot. It was not long after that people gotten round to make protective clothing for the feet. People made shoes, slippers, sandals, stilettos and toggi boots to provide comfort and fashion simultaneously.

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.

Jodhpur types as designed for riding equines. They are classified under the riding boot category. They have rounded toes and low heels. But, the most characteristic part of the jodhpurs is that it features a strap that wrap around the ankle and is fastened by a buckle.

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.

Both sailing and Wellington boots have the waterproof feature. Sailing ones are designed especially to endure conditions out at sea, and they have a really strong grip that makes them perfect for walking on wet areas. Wellington is aptly named after the first Duke in the said place, who is said to have designed and used this type first. Today, they are known as rubber boots.

Sailing ones, as the name suggests, are designed specially for sailors. They are waterproof to prevent all the seawater from coming in and wetting the feet. They are also designed to have the best grips because the surfaces where a sailor often walks upon are wet, which makes them prone to slipping.

Chaps, on the other hand, are leather coverings. These are typically worn over the pants when riding out. All of these aforementioned are only some of the best footwear that is housed in the toggi footwear collection.
