Massive, rough and brutal – this is how boots and shoes with tractor soles may seem at first glance. This trend is considered one of the most relevant and popular today. Who are these shoes suitable for, what to wear them with, and why are they needed at all? Today we decided to look into these issues.
Echo of the past
Shoes on a high platform, which today are called tractor shoes, first appeared on world fashion catwalks back in the 70s of the last century. Back then, young people dressed very brightly and in an unusual way, and such shoes allowed them to stand out from the crowd. The next surge in popularity for tractors was in the crazy 90s. The uppers of such shoes were often made of patent leather, rubber, and transparent plastic.
Today, fashionistas around the world are once again seized by “tractor fever.” This season, designers advise paying attention to models in brown, beige, black and blue. Patent leather, suede options, as well as products made from genuine leather with a pronounced texture are very popular.
The secret of popularity
Why did shoes with massive grooved soles create such a sensation in the fashion world? What is it about that attracts women so much? First of all, shoes, shoes and boots of this kind are very practical to use. The sole is most often made of polyurethane, which is famous for its wear resistance.
The second plus is convenience. Even a girl who does not recognize long heels can wear shoes with a high platform. Due to comfortable pads the length is simply not felt.
The third advantage that short women especially like is that “tractors” make a woman taller and slimmer.
Among the shortcomings of such shoes, only one can be identified - a very unattractive, rough design. It can hardly be called feminine and elegant. And it won’t suit all outfits.
How and with what to wear “tractors”?
Shoes with tractor soles look most appropriate in a casual style. It is also suitable for girls who like to dress boldly, brutally, and even slightly hooligan. These shoes are great to wear with jeans, thick tights, shorts, knitted sweaters, leather bomber jackets, and circle skirts. You can complement this look with a long scarf, collar, leather gloves, aviator glasses, and a boho hat.Women often “borrow” various comfortable things from a man’s wardrobe. So, ladies who are tired of stilettos will probably like women's oxfords. These are classic men's style shoes that are an element of business style.
Initially, Oxfords were exclusively for men. The models that became the predecessors of modern classic shoes were worn by students studying at the University of Oxford. Young people are characterized by bold actions, so the students decisively cut off the high tops of the boots that men wore at that time.
The new shoe fashion was enjoyed not only by students, but also by representatives of high society. Therefore, after some time, “Oxford shoes” became the most fashionable men's shoes. However, they have changed somewhat, become more elegant and have lacing.
They appeared at the end of the seventeenth century, but women decided to try on these models much later - at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the third decade of the last century, women began to be included in the teaching staff of universities. But at first, ladies wore comfortable shoes without heels and lace-ups as sports shoes. And after that, models acquired heels, and Oxford shoes began to be worn in everyday life.
Description
It must be said that Oxford models for women are more varied than models for men. In the photo you can see that ladies' models can look different.
The classic version of the shoes is a model with a slightly pointed toe, closed lacing and a low square heel. However, designers do not always adhere to the classical canons.
Sole
Women's models can have a variety of sole types. Long-legged girls can choose flat shoes, but petite girls will probably prefer. The heel does not have to be low; you can buy oxfords with a heel height of 5-7 cm.
Oxford shoes with thick soles are very popular; most often they are made of polyurethane, they perfectly protect your feet from the cold. The sole may be flat, but oxfords with tractor soles are more popular. The presence of a pronounced relief on the sole in combination with the classic design of the upper creates an interesting contrast that draws attention to the legs of a fashionista.
Extravagant ladies can choose women's or wedge heels; such models look very unusual.
Top design
The types of Oxford shoes differ not only in the shape of the sole, but also in the design of the upper.
Matte leather is used to make classic models, however, designers often use other materials. For example, patent leather women's oxfords look very original. These models are recommended to be worn with discreet clothing, such as jeans.
Suede oxfords are also popular; they are very soft and cozy and go well with casual clothing. Often a combination of materials is used, combining leather, suede, textiles and non-woven materials.
Classic shoes end below the ankle line, but there are also high women's oxfords that resemble ankle boots. You can even see variations of ladies' oxfords without laces; satin ribbons are used instead.
Perforations are used to decorate Oxford shoes. But when making women's models, other decorative options are used, including rhinestones.
Colors
When making men's Oxfords, a limited number of colors are used, but in the ladies' version, these shoes are very diverse. You can purchase them for everyday wear; they will fit perfectly into business or casual style clothes.
If the black color seems too gloomy, then you should pay attention to. They are also almost universal. Burgundy women's shoes with laces are also very popular.
If a fashionista plans to wear oxfords in her free time, you can abandon the classic colors and choose more bright option. Ladies' oxford models can have a catchy color or pastel shade, you can also purchase a model with a cute print - floral or polka dots.
The current option is two-tone oxford shoes. Moreover, the combination of colors can be contrasting or similar. For example, these could be beige shoes with inserts brown, or a bright red and white version.
What clothing styles can be combined with oxfords?
Let's figure out what to wear with these fashionable shoes. This model fits perfectly into different styles clothes, but, of course, these shoes are not universal. When putting together ensembles, you must take into account the general style of clothing.
Classic
Shoes of classic design and neutral shades will fit perfectly into a business style of clothing. They will look especially impressive with a pencil skirt. This combination is an ideal choice for the office. Wear it knee-length with a formal men's style shirt and classic oxfords. This set looks discreet and stylish, so it would be quite appropriate at work.
The color of the shoes should be neutral, but not necessarily black. For example, beige oxfords will look great paired with a sand-colored skirt. You can wear not only black, but also burgundy oxfords with a black skirt, but bright and two-tone contrasting models would be inappropriate in the office.
You can wear classic oxfords with straight-cut trousers. For this set, you can choose an office shirt or a feminine blouse with a stand-up collar, which is tied with a bow at the neck. A classic knee-length coat will complement the ensemble.
Everyday
Oxfords will look great with jeans. Shoes for wearing in your free time can have both classic and original colors. You can choose suede or patent leather shoes.
Skinny or straight jeans go well with oxfords. But it is advisable to choose shortened models or slightly roll up the legs at the bottom so that the ankles are visible.
Bright oxfords or models with prints look good with jeans in discreet colors (gray, black, blue). You should not choose dark and bright shoes with light jeans; it is better to give preference to models in pastel colors.
Bow option: pale blue cropped jeans will look great with silver oxfords with low heels. For this ensemble we will choose a pale blue shirt with blue trim, a light gray hat with a brim and a blue ribbon at the crown. A bright accent of the ensemble will be a bag; choose a white model with bright red trim.
Another example: we’ll wear blue trousers with slightly rolled-up legs at the bottom with a spacious gray angora sweater. We complement the ensemble with two-tone black and white oxfords, a loose-fitting jacket in small black and white checks and a black bag.
Instead of jeans, you can wear tapered cropped trousers. For plain trousers, you can wear two-tone oxfords or a model with a print. If you choose trousers with patterns, then you should choose shoes that match the color of one of the elements of the pattern, or choose black or white oxfords.
Youth style
Oxfords can be safely worn with shorts made of denim or other fabric. In the summer, oxfords are worn on bare feet; in the fall, you can experiment with tights. If you choose tights that match your shoes, your legs will appear longer.
Oxfords look original with long socks or socks; this set can be combined with both shorts and short skirts. Short pleated skirts made of checkered fabric will look especially good. But this combination will look harmonious only on young and slender girls. Older and overweight ladies should not combine oxfords with knee socks and shorts or miniskirts.
Examples of images:
- We wear denim shorts with cuffs with a figure-fitting cream T-shirt and a light beige windbreaker jacket. For this ensemble, we'll pair brown oxfords and white fishnet socks just above the ankle. The final accent is a beige-gray leather backpack.
- We'll wear denim shorts with fringe at the bottom, a white T-shirt and a black loose jacket with black Oxfords and black long socks that reach mid-thigh length. A white tote bag completes the ensemble.
- The image with a dress also looks interesting. Let's choose a short dress made of black fabric with a floral pattern and wear it with a long black cardigan. In this case, the length of the dress and cardigan should be the same. We'll pair this ensemble with black oxfords and gray long knee socks.
- We will wear a pleated skirt made of checkered fabric with a white shirt and a knitted black vest. For the ensemble we select black oxfords, white socks and a briefcase bag.
Country style
Oxford shoes with a country style dress will look original. This could be a light tunic dress with ethnic motifs or a fitted model with frills made of printed fabric.
In country style, you can create looks with flared skirts. The length of the model can be knee-length or higher. Some fashionistas enjoy wearing oxfords with long skirts. Models with flounces and floral prints will look especially attractive.
Bow options:
- A short A-line silhouette with wide sleeves will make an excellent outfit with oxfords decorated with perforations. Cocoa-colored shoes will look great with a cream-colored dress. Let's complement the ensemble with an ethnic-style pendant on a long cord and a bracelet.
- We'll wear a black fitted one with black tights and two-tone oxfords. The main material of the shoes is black suede, the toes are made of patent leather, and the side inserts are crimson. Let's pair this ensemble with a dark gray cardigan and a crimson bag.
Using oxfords, you can create a variety of ensembles. But in order not to make mistakes, you need to listen to the recommendations of stylists:
- Open ankle. To look stylish, stylists recommend leaving the ankle open. That is, choose trousers and long skirts so that the ankle is not covered by clothing. You can simply roll up the jeans at the bottom to achieve the desired leg length.
- Matching style. You should always remember that clothes and shoes should be in the same style. For example, when pairing a pencil skirt, stylists do not recommend choosing oxford shoes with flat soles or a tractor platform. Models with heels are better suited to these clothes. But you can safely combine any shoe models with jeans.
- Evening option. Stylists do not recommend wearing Oxford shoes with evening dresses. Even if the model has a heel and is decorated with rhinestones, it will look ridiculous. It is better to choose a more feminine and elegant shoe model for this outfit.
- Visual effect. If a girl is short and wants her legs to appear longer, then she should choose oxfords with heels and wear them with tights or leggings that match the color of the shoes. If you choose the option with leggings, then the ensemble is complemented with a long sweater or tunic.
Brands
Modern designers offer a variety of options women's oxfords. Moreover, many fashionable models are not too similar to the classic version of these shoes. Thus, the Max Mara brand presented high-heeled shoes made of suede and patent leather. To make models, designers use bright colors - sky blue, sunny yellow, bright red.
Oxfords from Dior are multi-colored models with a pointed toe and a stable heel. Designers use a combination of plain leather and suede with animal print. Gucci oxford models are distinguished by an unusually high platform and bright colors.

Boots with tractor soles are one of the fashion trends, which has not lost popularity for several years. How did it happen that shoes with tractor soles began to attract girls so much? It's simple - we girls are tired of heels, uncomfortable and so many boots, unstable ankle boots in which you can't run on icy streets and the first snow. We have become more practical and value our health more.
What to wear with tractor soles? It goes perfectly with almost any warm ensemble, and below we will look at specific examples of bows. 
What will we talk about today?
Where did the fashion for rough shoes come from?
Boots with tractor soles came to us from the wardrobe of men, from the men's army look. Just ten years ago, only the most desperate and daring fashionistas wore them, but now almost everyone flaunts tractor boots. Designers creating military and futuristic styles draw a lot from the uniforms of soldiers, tourists, or the casual images and clothing of various subcultures. The very first tractor boots were produced traditionally in dark colors and just for the “party”.
Also, from models with low soles, we remember the fashionable and now traditional trekking boots. When shoes with tractor soles became popular, many companies began to produce them, from simple mass market to luxury, and now you can find models for every taste, the whole range of colors is available to buyers - from classic dark tones to turquoise, blue, red. There are models with heels and without heels, with low, medium and high tops, with and without lacing.
What material are rough shoes made of? Traditionally - made of high-quality leather and suede. But you can also find models made of eco-leather, delicate nubuck, or patent leather. With or without lacing. Boots can be decorated with perforations, patterns, have buckles or spikes, and can be made of textured leather. All of them are fashionable, and are not inferior in beauty to “ordinary shoes”.
What to combine with?
They look great with dresses and skirts - a neat and beautiful look for every day without the excruciating pain of uncomfortable heels.
Shoes with tractor soles go well with leggings, jeans, trousers and even shorts. Just remember when putting on leggings - these are “dangerous” clothes, so as not to look tasteless, wear a long sweater or cardigan with them. What kind of outerwear is suitable? Coats, especially various jackets and parkas. At the end of the article you will find a photo selection of successful images using tractor boots for inspiration.
They combine especially well with casual and natural style in clothes. Black models with embellishments go well with a dramatic style.
What can't you combine with?
Women's boots, as we found out, can be combined with many clothes. What to wear with universal items is usually intuitive, but any item, even the most neutral one, has weak areas and unsuccessful combinations. We will talk about them in more detail.
If you wear a strictly classic style, be careful; the tractor sole does not go well with the classic and partly with the sporty style. For classics, we can recommend more “delicate” models, and for sports, models in a tourist style. Boots with rough soles do not go well with some models of trousers - strictly classic, flared and with models shortened to an “incomprehensible” length, for example, 3/4, 7/8 trousers.
A formal coat would also look inappropriate. Or vice versa - in military style. There will be too much, it will be difficult to maintain balance. An overly playful style of clothing combined with brutal shoes will also look kitschy.
What to wear with tractor boots in the off-season - spring and autumn? What to wear with in winter?
With outerwear, everything is simple - casual and futuristic, jackets and coats without excessive decor are good. What to wear down? Warm autumn or spring is a wonderful time for leg warmers, high socks and tights. Looks great with a skirt, tight tights and rough boots. In general, heavy boots give the green light to your comfort - warm tights look good with them, nylon ones will look out of place.
In winter, it’s the same thing, only taking into account that trousers should not cover shoes, and an arctic fox fur coat may look strange in combination with hooligan boots.
Who will wear shoes with tractor soles?
Shoes with grooved soles are that unique case when they suit absolutely all girls. On plump people, such models look harmonious, appropriate and beautiful, they help harmonize the figure, and on thin people they will only add grace and fragility.
