hi everyone it's Justine do you know
this moment when you're seeing shoes in
a store and you're like those shoes look
stunning and you want to tell somebody
about them but first you can't describe
the shoe second you don't know what
they're called and you're stuck if you
had that case that situation at least
once in your life keep watching cuz once
you're done watching this video you're
going to be a shoe expert this video is
going to be a shoe lexicon we're going
to start with flat shoes and then move
on to heels and Boots Gladiator snds or
flat sunds pretty much made of straps
with a super flat sole very comfortable
in summer those shoes are inspired by
ancient Greece Gladiators were fighting
in the arena for the emperor and for
their freedom ballerinas are also
extremely flat shoes very flexible
usually rounded at the front and
inspired by the point shoes of ballet
dancers most balleras are so flexible
that the soul curves when you're not
wearing them moccas are flat comfortable
shoes often made of brushed leather with
a piece on the top of the foot which can
be embroidered or decorated this type of
shoe doesn't make noise when you walk it
comes from the shoes that Indians were
wearing and by Indians I mean the
original people of America like the red
skin tribes then we have loafers they a
bit like mocasines but for the city the
heel is higher and harder but the shoe
is still quite comfortable you can see
tons of loafers in the collections of
luxury Brands like Gucci or tods men and
women can wear loafers this shoe is
pretty much gender neutral Mary Janes
those are perfect dancing shoes thanks
to the strap going around in front of
the food so you can't lose the shoe
while you're moving in the 19th century
those shoes were for children boys or
girls but since the 20th century they're
seen as being shoes for women and so now
you can find Mary James also with chunky
heels or higher heels often worn with
high socks and the skirts it's a pretty
girly silhouette and style mules now or
shoes which have the heel left bare they
only hold onto the foot thanks to the
front of the shoe historically they were
slippers like house shoes you would wear
with your pajamas but now you can find
very luxurious and feminine ones with
heels on the high streets and in the
collection of fashion designers sling
backs sling back shoes on the other hand
hold your heel with a strap it's tied
either with a buckle or it's elastic so
you can just slip it in and cack the
elastic onto your heel and you're good
to go it's going to hold very much it's
quite comfortable we are now moving on
to shoes with heels but staying in this
topic of the strap for a few more
seconds Uncle strap shoes have a piece
going up behind the heel and then an
horizontal Buckle strap which keeps the
shoe and the food
together now let's discuss heels on
pumps for a second cuz there are so many
many different types of pumps is hard to
understand what you're looking at kitten
heels or heels for beginners I love
those ones you can actually walk in them
that's your typical heel to wear with a
suit where you know you're going to have
a business meeting and you're going to
be standing all day and that's a good
option stilet that's your classical high
heel at least 5 cm or at least 2 Ines is
usually more it's usually more 7 or 8
cm if the heel is high high and the
front really pointy pointy then that's a
specific style of stiletto it's called a
scarpin the shoe of the James Bond girls
and any other F FAL but forget about
walking the shoes are really for sitting
down only and then if the heel is
dangerously high like over 10 cm 4 in
something and if it's super narrow then
it's called a killer Hill and it's named
like that for a reason please do not
step on somebody's with those it's
extremely painful now if you take your
shoe and instead of adding more heels
you add more S at the front then you get
a platform shoe this makes the shoes
more comfortable even if the heel is
technically still very high but the
front of the foot has more support and
therefore more stability next one if you
have a thick Sole and no more separated
heel so to say then you have wedges
where the sole and the heel are one
piece the back can be high to get the
same leg elongating effect as with heels
but with wedges you really can walk a
whole day that's my favorite type of
high shoe two more useful words in the
heel category chunky heels are wider and
bigger than Stilo heels typically you
can see that right they're a good
alternative if you want more comfort and
stability for your uncles if you're not
used to walking in heels then the wider
the heel the safer you're walking so to
say and then pip Toes or heels that show
your toes they're like cuton at the
front I'm not sure where the idea is
coming from but they're perfect if you
want to show off your pedicure and your
nail polish moving on to boots we're
going to start low and then go up
Chelsea boots are a great basic first
off they have quite a tight fit they end
up at the level of the ankle more or
less and they have a fabric loop at the
back to help you put them on and because
they're tight you have an area that's
elastic instead of leather for the rest
of the shoe so that it can stretch when
you put the shoe on the story is that
this shape was invented by the shoe
maker of Queen Victoria of England in
the 19th century then the shoes became
popular in the city of Chelsea in
England that's where the name comes from
and The Beetles wore them 60s 7s the
shoe trended more and more men and women
wore them and since that time at the
latest they're really a classic cowboy
boots as the name says those boots were
worn by American Cowboys the he is in
leather and really hard and you can clip
a metal Spike behind the heel to kick
your horse when riding it that's why the
shoe is like really hard it used to be
functional shoe but somehow it became
popular internationally and as a boot
wear ball really in daily life now the
boots are going up and high knee high
boots usually include a stiletto type
heel pointy at the front and go up to
the knee level usually above the knee
high high boots go up even to the thigh
as it says and one learning here the
higher the boots somehow the shorter the
skirt or you wear them over skinny jeans
for a bit more comfort in daily life now
that you've watched the video into here
here comes the reward listen every other
type of shoe can be named and described
based on the names that I've mentioned
already isn't it practical for instance
if you see pipo pumps with a Mary Jane
strap over the foot then it's called a
pipo Mary Jane Hill if you have pipos
pumps plus a platform at the front and a
sling back behind the heel behind the
foot then you've got pip to platform
sling bag heels isn't it super easy I
can tell your experts already if you
found this video useful or interesting
give it a thumb up and subscribe to my
channel so you don't miss any future
videos thank you now I've seen that
there are people in over 80 countries
watching my videos which is an honor and
and quite amazing I'd love to know which
type of shoes you have in your country
that I don't know of that I didn't
mention in this list I would love to see
new names in the comments below and I'll
Google them one more thing while
watching this video you might have
noticed that not all type of shoes fit
all types of bodies and Silhouettes so
here is a video about how to measure
yourself Det determine which body type
you have and in the same playlist you'll
find videos on how to style fitting to
your body each of the five most common
body types the other video is something
totally different it's more of a of a
fashion talk it's about who you dress
for when you get up in the morning so
are you dressing up to seduce men to
impress women what does it say about you
and why does it matter to fashion
designers when they design so it's a
completely different topic but might be
interesting as well
if you're watching on a computer you can
click directly on those images and
they'll take you to the video if you're
watching on a smartphone that's not
going to work so I've written the links
to those videos in the description below
this video as well oh and in the
description I also wrote all the names
of the shoes that I mentioned because I
know some of you are going to ask for it
see you next Sunday for a new video and
until then have a great week take care
