GoGo Boots: They Never Really Got Up And Went

GoGo Boots: They Never Really Got Up And Went

GoGo Boots are available in three lengths; calf, knee or above the knee, and always have a low (no more than two inches) or flat heel. Noted for their simple shape and chiseled, rounded or pointed toe, these boots were usually fastened by a side or back zipper. By the 1970s, people started to see a variety of styles like lace up, different fabrics and different toe shapes. Whether white or sunshine yellow was your favorite color, many go go boots were seen with liquid filled heels. Popular trends were gold fish in heels, floating stars or even black light reflective materials. Before go-go boots became mainstream, women only wore boots during inclement weather or when indulging in rugged sports such as mountain climbing and horseback riding.

These knee high boots took womens footwear to another level. They had high style and a futuristic look, Andr Courrges, is credited with being the originator of this new style of fashion footwear and the first pair he created were featured in his Fall 1964 "Moon Girl" collection. Whether or not you're a Moon Girl, you can step back or forward in time with this style of retro boots. Designed to complement the shorter hemlines of the mini skirt, these boots drew attention to women's legs and were in high demand among teenage girls. Girl dancers on the TV shows, Hullabaloo and Shindig also wore the short, white boots, which were often called Hullabaloo, and Shindig Boots respectively. Nancy Sinatra's hit, These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (1966) and Jane Fonda's Space Age boots in Barbarella (1968) helped to popularize this style of footwear.

Today you still see GoGo boots worn by many and although there is a spike during the Halloween season, many women wear them day-to-day with dresses and skirts just as they did in 1968. They come in almost any color and fabric you can imagine. Find your desired style and color and a pair of retro boots just may become your favorite pair. "Are you ready, boots? Keep walkin'"
