This funny traditional counting-out song, presented with attractive pictures, will teach kids how to count from 1 to 20: One, two…Buckle my shoe. Three, four…Knock at the door. Five, six…Pick up sticks. Seven, eight…Lay them straight. Nine, ten…A big, fat hen!

Five Minute Guide to Shoe History
What is the difference between derbies and brogues, when monks and loafers appeared, and who introduced the fashion for chelsea shoes. The material was prepared in collaboration with the brand Carlo Pazolini .
Rules of life
The main feature of the Derby shoes is the open lacing system.
That is, the sides of the boot are sewn over the front of the shoe (or, in the language of professionals: berets are sewn over the vamps). Today it is perhaps the most popular type of classic men's shoes. Can be worn under a suit to the office and to informal events.
Legend has it that derbies were created by the 14th Earl of Derby (1799-1869). The count had very generous proportions, and large feet gave him a lot of trouble. His personal shoemaker found a way out by inventing shoes with open lacing.
Another theory takes us to Europe during the era of the Napoleonic Wars. The Prussian army officer Gebhard Leberecht Blucher (1742-1819) thought about how to make the already difficult life of soldiers easier and came up with boots with adjustable width - they could be laced up and tightened. Thus, the "bluchers" appeared. In the United States, the terms "derby" and "blucher" are used interchangeably, although there is still a slight difference between these models. For derbies, the heel goes seamlessly into berets, and for blüchers, berets are sewn over the vamp (the front of the shoe).
Brogues are shoes decorated with perforations, and any - be it derbies or oxfords.
Brogues were invented by Scottish and Irish farmers in the 17th century. They worked in wet and swampy areas, so they needed durable, practical and quick-drying shoes. The boots were sewn from tanned cowhide, they did not have the usual lining, but there were always holes that ensured water drainage and quick drying.
In addition to the perforations, the brogues feature a detachable toe and layered overlays with serrated edges. Brogues are full (full brogues), half (half-brogues; semi-brogues) and quarter brogues.
Full brogues, better known as Wingtips, are classic shoes with a W-shaped cut-off toe, a medallion pattern and perforations all over the upper. Semi-brogues, unlike full-brogues, have a straight toe seam; the rest of the details are the same - perforation along the seam and a pattern-medallion.
Quadruple brogues are perhaps the most modest and most formal option: perforation only along the seam, without a W-shaped toe and pattern in the toe.
Spectator shoes are another variation of brogues - these are two-tone shoes with dark heels and toes and a light base. According to legend, the original design belongs to the shoemaker John Lobb, who began producing similar shoes in 1868 for playing cricket. The fashion for spectators was brought by the abdicated king of Great Britain Edward VIII and his beloved Wallis Simpson.
Monks are slip-on shoes with one or two buckles.
The prototype of monks appeared in Europe during the High Middle Ages (XI-XIV centuries). Shoes with a wide strap with one or two buckles were worn by Catholic monks at that time. They were easy to put on and take off without wasting time on lacing. Hence the name: translated from English monk means "monk".
Modern classic monks have an elongated shape.
As a rule, they are divided into two types: with one (monk strap shoe) or two (double monk strap shoe) straps of different thicknesses and widths. Unlike oxfords, monks slip on and off just as easily as loafers or any other slip-on shoe.
This model of men's shoes is considered less formal than oxfords, but more formal than derbies - although opinions differ on this point. Monks are very independent shoes, so if you decide to wear them, your image should not have bright and flashy elements. Double monks are worn with both a suit and jeans, but it all depends on the specific model of shoes.
Loafers are similar to moccasins, but differ from them in the presence of a separate sole and a low heel. They are easy to put on and take off, hence the name: in the translation of English loafer means "loafer". There are two most popular theories about the origin of loafers, and both date back to the 30s. XX century.
According to the first, loafers appeared in the UK as indoor shoes.
King George VI needed country house shoes to wear with hunting stockings. Designed in 1926 by Raymond Lewis Wildsmith, heir to Wildsmith Shoes, a supplier of shoes for royalty and nobility. The Wildsmith Loafer quickly gained popularity and is still in production today.
According to another theory, loafers were invented by the Norwegian Nils Gregorijsson Tvaranger (1874-1953). Returning to his homeland after studying shoemaking in North America, he introduced "Aurland moccasins" - a cross between moccasins of the Iroquois (North American Indians) and shoes worn by fishermen in his hometown of Aurland. Gradually, Aurland moccasins went beyond Norway and became popular in Europe, and then in the USA. The term loafer appeared just in America - that was the name of the shoes produced by the Spaulding family from New Hampshire.
There are two classic loafers: Penny Loafers and Tassel Loafers. The first got its name due to the diamond-shaped slot, in which students in the 50s.
inserted pennies - either for good luck, or as a "stash". The original name Weejuns (consonant with the English Norwegians - a tribute to Norwegian roots) was forgotten, but the model itself quickly gained popularity and became a classic. When exactly the tassels appeared on the loafers is not exactly known. According to legend, after World War II, actor Paul Lucas brought low shoes with decorative tassels to America and ordered shoe companies to sew something similar.
Speaking of the history of loafers, one cannot fail to mention Gucci, which was the first to introduce loafers in black with a gold-plated snaffle buckle. It was after Gucci that loafers in Europe began to be worn under formal suits.
Today, loafers are more of a casual style, but minimalistic and strict models will find a place in a business wardrobe.
These are tall boots with a slightly pointed toe, thin soles and a slight heel. The main feature is the rubberized sides from the top of the boot almost to the sole, which allow you to easily and quickly remove shoes without laces and fasteners.
Chelsea can be worn with suits and even with jeans. But if you decide to wear them under jeans, choose a classic top: these shoes look great with coats, cardigans, turtlenecks, shirts.
Chelsea designed by HM Queen Victoria's shoemaker J. Sparkes Hall. In a patent issued to him in 1951, it is stated that "before, no shoe model has given the foot such mobility and so did not correspond to its anatomical shape." The shoemaker himself claimed that "Queen Victoria walks in them every day, which is irrefutable proof of the value of the invention."
Chelsea owes its modern name to the district of the same name in West London. In the 50s and 60s, creative youth and bohemians gathered there, who drew attention to this model. Chelsea boots have become an indispensable attribute of the style of British mods, who called themselves "mods" (Mods from modernism, modism).
The Beatles brought even more popularity to Chelsea. The "Liverpool Four" often appeared in shoes from the London company Anello & Davide - these were Chelsea boots with a wide, slightly tapering Cuban heel.
In the 70s Chelsea appeared in the famous trilogy of George Lucas' Star Wars - albeit in a more futuristic white color. These shoes were worn by Darth Vader's stormtroopers.
The artist's sketches were inspired by Carlo Pazolini shoes.
| Shoe guide: classic monk shoes
There is only a month left until September. It's time to start thinking about your fall wardrobe and shoes. When choosing shoes, pay attention to monks. These are classic shoes with one or two buckles. The buckles are used more for decoration, usually they are not even unfastened: the leg enters the block freely anyway.
The name of the monk is not in vain consonant with the word monk. The prototype of the shoes was textile shoes with straps, which the monks wore back in the 11th century. They thought it was more convenient. And this is true, because you do not need to tie your shoelaces, as in derby, oxfords or brogues.
Monks with classic and casual outfits
Monks go well with formal and casual outfits.
It all depends on the design of the model. If the shoes are made of smooth leather and the last is narrower, then it is intended for a formal dress code. If the material is suede or perforated leather, then the style of clothing may be looser (cropped trousers, blazer).
Monks with one buckle are supposed to be worn only with suits. But models with two men can even be worn with jeans. Colored suede monks look good with informal sets.
How to wear men's monks
Elegant casual is always in style. With monks, this stylistic effect is easy to achieve if you do not fasten the top buckle. But remember that carelessness is not compatible with the classic style. Opt for informal pieces: padded-shoulder sports jacket, blazer, skinny pants. If the monks have only one buckle, then it is still worth fastening it.
Monks can be worn with socks, because these are mostly autumn shoes. So that the trousers do not cling to the buckles, stylists advise choosing cropped trousers (for example, chinos) or with a collar.
Skinny jeans look good with suede or brogged monks. If the suit is classic, then the buckles can be covered with trousers.
Women's monks
Women's monks are less common than men's monks. But if you can find the right pair, you can create an extravagant look: tweed trousers, a colored vest, a canvas jacket, a tie and a shirt. If you like street style, then wear skinny jeans and a printed T-shirt, a biker jacket or a fitted jacket.
