Recently, I have been in intensive contact with this topic, and I feel that the transmission of this concept is more important than all the details of shoes.
If the topic is anything, it is that shoes should be matched with the whole.
You must roll your eyes when you hear this sentence. You don’t have to tell me. !
No rush, have you really considered everything I say next?
The first topic is the comments of many non-dress shoes lovers who bought the fp brand FU last. “This shoe makes my feet so small!”
Even some girls say that this shoe looks like a size 39, but in fact, it is suitable for Nike’s size 42!
Therefore, the FU last got a summative evaluation, make your feet small.
But who wants feet looked small? The answer is that they are very tall, or simply people with big feet.
Opposite to FU last, it is the mainstream pointed long last, not only Gaziano&Girling, but also the shoes of most Italian fashion/luxury brands, which are elongated.
It is said that shoes are an extension of legs, and when they are integrated, they can appear longer. Frankly speaking, I have never got this. If this sentence is correct, then I, a short man, must like to wear long shoes best. But in fact, this collocation will only be a clown.
So what kind of clothes does a pair of shoes that don’t stretch, or a traditional British last, such as Edward Green’s 202 match? At this time, I think we can consider it from the width. Not that short shoes are wider than long shoes, but visually.
At this time, look at the British suit settings, the upper body is wide, and the trouser legs are also large, which enlarges the dimension as a whole, making shoes also need to present a feeling of a larger ratio of dimension to length.
This logic can be inferred, for example, why are the workboots so blunt? Because the workwear chooses to enlarge the silhouette of the body, which is far less close to the body than the suit (no matter what genre).
Then this idea goes down, what shoe (last) is more suitable for Chinese?
Europeans have a narrow head shape (it doesn’t matter whether the facial features are three-dimensional or not here), which makes the head-shoulder ratio very excellent. Chinese (Asian) has a wide skull and a wide face, which makes our head-shoulder ratio poor, so a relatively straight suit with shoulder pads is more suitable. At this time, if you look at it as a whole, the “big” above and the pointed length of the shoes below will form a strong contrast and disharmony. Therefore, the width/length ratio of shoes is better.
From this point of view, leather shoes are not a good choice as a whole, because leather shoes are still exquisite routes, just like suits, and they are chosen closely around the foot shape and will not be “added” in the dimension, so even if we choose shoes with larger width/length, we still can’t “make up” our wide face (we don’t discuss those small heads and faces that are blessed with food), so work boots may be more suitable.
We finished the length and width, and in the three-dimensional figure, we missed the height. The next thing is about height.
Jean-Manuel Moreau, a French blogger, should be the manager of a shop, and he wears more styles (and it is Italy, which is not mainstream in France). This picture will make people notice his shoes at a glance. One word, collapse. My feeling is that the whole person is standing in the ground.
This is the reason why I have never liked Blake’s construction.
Blake’s durability is not as good as Goodyear’s, and it’s more difficult to change the bottom than Goodyear’s or hand-sewn edging, but in most cases he doesn’t like it and doesn’t use it, not broken. So I don’t dislike it from this angle.
It’s that I’m short and I like shoes with heels. But you can’t have a low forefoot and a high heel. That’s high heels, and I still have some problems with it.
Apart from personal preferences, generally speaking, such a blogger is not good-looking, how can ordinary people be spared?
What is the reason? Is top-heavy. The head refers to two One is his head, because of his face and hairstyle (especially the latter), his head is big, but his shoes are very small. The other is this suit, which is “big” compared with these shoes!
When I saw the hem of his suit, I thought it might be the best to change it into high heels (yes, you read it correctly). There is a waistline and a “skirt”, and the trouser legs are thin. You can stretch your long legs with high heels and echo the waist and skirt.
Luca Rubinacci also wears such shoes. Why does it feel a little better? Because the head is small, there is nothing else for this reason. Go up small and go down small.
So how do you match Blake’s shoes with thin soles? On the premise that our head shape and face shape can’t be changed (forget it if you want to grind bones), there is actually no optimal solution. It is nothing more than choosing “light” fabrics for upper body clothes, such as linen and seersucker, and then the overall color is lighter.
This is equivalent to a detour to solve the problem, using the “light” of color and texture to convert it into “small”, thus corresponding to the “small” of thin-soled shoes.
No matter what kind of aesthetic feeling, last shape, upper design, technology or even sole you admire alone, it is the moment you put it on. This may be the place that needs the most attention.
