WHY GO GO BOOTS : were Awesome in the 60s

Why were they called Go-Go Boots Go-go boots are a low-heeled style of women's fashion boot first introduced in the mid-1960s. The original go-go boots, as defined by André Courrèges in 1964, were white, low-heeled, and mid-calf in height, a specific style which is sometimes called the Courrèges boot. Since then, the term go-go boot has come to include the knee-high, square-toed boots with block heels that were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s; as well as a number of variations including kitten heeled versions and colours other than white. The simple minimalism of the Courrèges boot was easily and widely reproduced for the mass market. Courrèges boots provided the foundation for the development of the go-go boot, which increasingly came higher up the leg and was made in alternative colours. In 1966, the song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" was released and performed by a go-go boot wearing Nancy Sinatra, who is credited with further popularising the boot. Song: These Boots Are Made for Walkin' - BOX21 (Nancy Sinatra Cover) Guitar - ANDREA MACCHITELLA Bass - ANDREA SIMONE Drum - ANTONIO LEGROTTAGLIE Voice - MARCELLA NOTARPIETRO BOX21 is a group of musicians who in the summer of 2016 decided to put on a group in Ostuni, Puglia. The musical influences are different: from rock to blues, from metal to funk ... but the result is perfect !    • These Boots Are Made for Walkin' - BOX21 (...   #1970smusic #70sfashion #boots #1960smusic #1970s #boot
