shoes in the 1960s
It's hard to discribe a distinct shoe look for the 60’s.women stuck with the slip on shoes with clunky heels were popular to wear with pants. there were also boots to go along with the mini skirt. since the clothes made a big change so did the shoes. Men wore ankle boots with a square Cuban heel. The colors! The colors! They had it all.
conclusion and remark
I think that the shoes from the 60s have really progressed .like today we have brands like nike and jordans but back then it was just shoes with heels , boots, or flats
Basic 1960 shoe
While fun, experimental shoes such as go-go boots and Beatle boots were only short trends of the era, other popular 1960s shoes play a staple role in style today. The stiletto that gained popularity in the 50s continued to thrive in the 60s, and paired well with miniskirts for that bombshell look. A more modest version, the kitten heel, came into vogue as well, giving the leg a feminine lift while still comfortabl.
Mens shoes
Men’s shoes in the 1960s were often simple lace-ups or loafers. These were comic character Austin Powers’s shoes of choice. Later boot styles for men had a squarer, chunky heel and a square toe(like their female counterparts).
Boots
one of the main women looks was the knee-high boot. Women started wearing tiny mini-skirts and high boots was considered a perfect look for these barely-there garments. There was a trend for white leather knee-high boots. Knee-high or mid-calf length boots made from shiny plastic or made from shiny fake snakeskin were also popular.
