List of inventions named after people - Wikipedia The Wellington boot was originally a type of leather boot adapted from Hessian boots. They were worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The "Wellington" boot became a staple of practical foot wear for the British aristocracy and middle class in the early 19th century. The name Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words subsequently given to waterproof boots made of rubber and they are no longer associated with a particular class. They are now commonly used for a range of agricultural and outdoors pursuits. Wellington boots in contemporary usage are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or polyvinyl chloride PVCa halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers and puddles. They are generally just below knee-high although shorter boots are available. The "Wellington" is a common and necessary safety or hygiene shoe in diverse industrial settings: for heavy industry with an integrated reinforced toe; protection from mud and grime in minesfrom chemical spills in chemical plants and from water, dirt, and mud in horticultural and agricultural work; and serving the high standard of hygiene required in food processing plants, operating theatresand dust-free clean rooms for electronics manufacture. Sailing wear includes short and tall sailing wellingtons with non-marking, slip-resistant soles to avoid damage to a boat's deck. These boots require thermal socks to be worn underneath as the rubber does not provide enough warmth. The Duke of Wellington instructed his shoemaker, Hoby of St. James's Street, London, to modify the 18th-century Hessian boot. The resulting new boot was fabricated in soft calfskin leather, had the trim removed and was cut to fit more closely around the leg. The heels were low cut, stacked around an inch 2. It was suitably hard-wearing for riding, yet smart enough for informal evening wear. The boot was dubbed the Wellington and the name has stuck in English ever since. In the portrait by James Lonsdale, the Duke can Bloomers seen wearing the more formal Hessian style boots, which are tasselled. Wellington's utilitarian new boots quickly caught Bloomers with patriotic British gentlemen eager to emulate their war hero. In the s they were more commonly made in the calf-high version, and in the s they were both superseded by the ankle boot, except for riding. Wellington is one of the two British Prime Ministers to have given his name to an item of clothing, the other being Sir Anthony Eden see Anthony Eden hat Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words Sir Winston Churchill gave his name to a cigarand William Gladstone four times prime minister between and gave his to the Gladstone Bagthe classic doctor's portmanteau. Wellington boots were at first made of leather. However, in Hiram Hutchinson met Charles Goodyearwho had just invented the sulfur vulcanisation process for natural rubber. Today the company is simply called Aigle. Production of the Wellington boot was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I and a requirement for footwear suitable for the conditions in Europe's flooded and muddy trenches. The mills ran day and night to produce immense quantities of these trench boots. In total, 1, pairs were made to meet the British Army 's demands. In the Netherlandsthe British forces were working in flooded conditions which demanded Wellingtons and thigh boots in vast supplies. By the end of the war Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Wordsthe Wellington had become popular among men, women and children for wet weather wear. The boot had developed to become far roomier with a thick sole and rounded toe. Also, with the rationing of that time, labourers began to use them for daily work. The lower cost and ease of rubber "Wellington" boot manufacture, and being entirely waterproof, lent itself immediately to being the preferred protective material to leather in all forms of industry. Increased attention to occupational health and safety requirements led to the steel toe or steel-capped Wellington: a protective commonly internal toe-capping to protect the foot from crush and puncture injuries. Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement may be a composite or a plastic material such as thermoplastic polyurethane TPU. Such steel-toe Wellingtons are nearly indispensable in an enormous range of industry and are often mandatory wear to meet local occupational health and safety legislation or insurance requirements. In Julythe Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission published its Report on the Supply of Certain Rubber Footwear[3] which covered rubber boots of all kinds including wellingtons and overboots. This page official publication addressed contemporary concerns about unfair pricing of Bloomers footwear manufactured in the UK or imported from overseas. The appendices include lists of rubber footwear manufacturers and price-lists of each company's range of wellington boots available in the mids. Green Wellington boots, introduced by Hunter Boot Ltd ingradually became a shorthand for "country life" in the UK. Though most commonly called "gum boots", an alternative name, "Blucher Boot", is occasionally used by some older Australians. Usually called rubber boots, but sometimes galoshesmud boots, rain boots, mucking boots, billy boots, or gum-boots, are popular in Canada and Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words United States, particularly in springtime when melting snows leave wet and muddy ground. Young people can be seen wearing them to school or university Biros and Wellington Boots: How the Names Became the Words taking them to summer camps. While green is popular in Britain, red-soled black rubber boots are often seen in the United States, in addition to Canadian styles. Rubber boots specifically made for cold weather, lined with warm insulating material, are especially popular practical footwear for Canadian winters. This same style of lined boot is also popular among those who work in or near the ocean as one can wade in and out of shallow, but cold, ocean water, while staying dry and warm. In the US white mid-calf rubber boots are worn by workers on shrimp boats and construction workers pouring concrete. These boots have more Bloomers toes, lower heels, and less radically scalloped tops than typical " cowboy boots ". In New ZealandWellingtons are called "gumboots", "wellies", or "Redbands" after a popular Skellerup brandand are considered essential foot wear for farmers. Gumboots are often referred to in New Zealand popular culture such as the rurally-based Footrot Flats comic strip. The farming town of Taihape in the North Island proclaims itself "Gumboot capital of the World" and has annual competitions and events such as Gumboot Daywhere gumboots are thrown.

    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes. Keywords: shoes, meanings, features Introduction analyzed and described through its semantics components which help to define differential There are many different ways to deal lexical relations, grammatical and syntactic with the problem of meaning.

  • A Collection of Shoes Square Toed Shoes but by the Eighteenth Century Women Preferred Oval Or Square Toes Themselves
    Christie’s South Kensington, Fine Costume, Needlework and Textiles. Tuesday 14th November 2000. A single red rocco clog, early 18thC. Estimate £500-£700. Victorian wedding shoes on display at The Lace Shop, Honiton. pointed toe was considered to be a feminine accruement so men wore A collection of shoes square toed shoes but by the eighteenth century women preferred oval or square toes themselves. Heels were made from wood, sometimes covered in leather or fabric. This limited their width and height to some extent and it was by Zita Thornton only in the 1950s that a steel rod was inserted in the heel and gave enough strength for there to be no limits to size. This quality was taken to extremes with the introduction of the stiletto from Italy. Meaning Ever since man first covered his feet with leaves secured by vines, little dagger these thin, high heels caused havoc with lino and were shoes have been essential items of clothing. They have given protection banned from some public buildings. In contrast, between 1810 and against the cold and wet, eased the rigours of walking and have been 1820, women’s shoes had no heel at all reflecting the move from mirrors of fashion and technological advances. It was early man who hooped dresses to lightweight, narrow skirts, when a long but dainty, first used the skins of animals for his shoes, and leather has continued elegant foot shape became desired. Like toes, heels too were at times a to be a popular choice of material throughout every century although status symbol with red heels being worn by the privileged classes in the fabric has been just as popular.

  • A Knee Or Shoe Buckle from Early Modern Oulu
    An object in focus: a knee or shoe buckle from early modern Oulu Prepared by: Tiina Kuokkanen, University of Oulu, Finland. This 31 mm high and 24 mm wide buckle consists of an iron frame and a pewter double tongue, which is 12 mm long. About one quarter of the frame is missing. Possible the frame may originally have been double-framed, as the small overhangs around the tongue could be part of another loop. Alternatively the small overhangs could be decoration and corrosion around it. The buckle was discovered from urban archaeological excavations at the NMKY (YMCA)1 site in the center of the town of Oulu.2 In the early days of the town this area didn't belong to the richest part of the town, but it was located just next to the cathedral. The reputation of the area improved in the next century; the oldest known inhabitant of the area Klaus Klaunpoika Jederjan, who died in 1704, was the richest merchant in the town. At the eighteenth century the nearby church block included the town hall, market place and the most houses of the most significant persons of the town. Most artifacts in the assemblage have been dated to the seventeenth century, but some artifacts are also dated to the eighteenth and to the end of the nineteenth centuries. According to the building remnants, artifacts and old maps, the area has been settled from the beginning of the seventeenth century.3 If the buckle is vertically orientated, then the orientation and the size are typical to early modern knee buckles, although the material is not and the shape is also unusual.

  • Welly Walking Trivia
    Cumbria County Council Active travel to school Wonderful Welly Trivia So what exactly are wellies? • Wellies are also known by many other names. • In Australia, South Africa and New Zealand they are known as Gumboots • In Ireland they are often referred to as Topboots • In Russia they are known as Rubberboots. Where did the idea for wellies come from? Wellies were first worn by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, and were based upon the Hessian boot. The Duke of Wellington had instructed his shoemaker to re-design the Hessian boot to make it more hard wearing and give extra comfort. This was the birth of the good old welly as we know it, before long everyone referred to the Duke’s new boots as ‘the Wellington.’ The Duke of Wellington’s style caught on quickly and many other British gentlemen copied the style. The Wellington was considered very fashionable during the 1840’s but at this stage was only made in leather. When wellies met rubber In 1852 two gentlemen by the names of Hiram Hutchinson and Charles Goodyear came together. Charles Goodyear had recently developed a process to cure rubber, called Vulcanization, and both individuals benefited from this new process. Charles Goodyear took his research into the tyre manufacturing market, whilst Hiram Hutchinson went into footwear. Hutchinson launched his footwear idea in France with a company called Aigle (meaning Eagle) His rubber footwear became a huge success here, with farmers very grateful to have their feet clean and dry for once. It sure beat the clogs they had been wearing! Rubber comes from the sap of the Havea Tree and is actually a natural product, contrary to the beliefs of many.
