Footwear that rises to the ankle or higher; can be casual or dressy, practical or fashionable. Boots that are designed for protection from the elements may be made of a single, closely-stitched piece of leather, rubber, or other material to prevent the entry of water, mud or dirt. Other types of boots are sturdy in nature, intended for protection in wilderness or industrial settings. Fashionable boots for men and women may have all the variations seen in other shoe styles, including high heels, platforms, and lacings.
About Cutwork:
Cutwork is a type of decorative embellishment in which portions of the shoe upper or the surface of a handbag for example, are cut away to create a design pattern. The resulting cut-out shapes can sometimes be reinforced with stitches placed close to the edges to form embroideries.
