I like both pull on boots and those with zippers. The zip boots have a neater snugger fit around the ankle and calves, and while pull ons are necessarily looser around the ankle, if well fitting they still look quite sharp

He seemed like quite a nice guy. We corresponded a bit, but a long time ago now

They don’t do much for me, I have to say

Yes, I remember him. It’s been a long time since I heard from him

Yes, we did. Not a fashion I look back on with any longing.

I know what you mean. Sock boots never appealed to me in the least

Andre Courreges, the designer who introduced the go-go boot was heavily influenced by the space age and the futurism and optimism that came with it - a far cry from the cynicism of today. That’s why I dint think they can return, except as a kind of self conscious tribute to a bygone age

Ive worn thin wool base layers for cycling for ages and they look absolutely no different then feminine leggings or heavier denier pantyhose - it’s just the name. They’re indispensable when you’re out cycling for hours in the cold. By the same token, since I started wearing knee and OTK boots I’ve really come to appreciate warm ankles and calves on cold winter days. guys really need to put aside all this nonsense and just wear what is comfortable and what they personally feel looks nice - and forget about these made up fashion rules

Yes, their website doesn't look very healthy. The homepage is all right but there's nothing if you try to check out any styles. Hopefully it's just a glitch, but it doesn't look good or bode well. They made nice boots, I know that.

I think it was probably Vivier in the early 60s with his designs for Dior and St Laurent that sent boots on their trajectory from dowdy winter wear to fashion staple, but go-go boots certainly played their part as did Nancy Sinatra. Shows like The Avengers didn’t hurt either. Did you know that Steed and Emma Peel (the Honor Blackman incarnation) sang a song titled Kinky Boots on a TV variety show in 1963? It was pretty awful - and kinky did not have the same connotations as it does today - but it does indicate that boots were creeping into the fashion consciousness. i would have loved to gave been able to try on a pair of go-go boots back in the day. Proper ones didn’t really fave heels but they were chic nonetheless

Very nice! They look appropriately high too! Your left heel is awfully close to the crack in the flooring!

It wasn’t go-go boots specifically but tall boots in general that became the fashion staple of the empowered independent women by the end of the 60s.

Very presentable - and a cheerful look against the drab of winter

Wow! Congratulations! That's really impressive! Those boots you bought are lovely and it will be huge fun to wear them out, I imagine. Certainly very stylish - and to wear them gracefully is an enviable accomplishment. Few can do that. Well done!

I do like my pour-over coffee - making it first thing in the morning is how I start off my day in my 12cm stilettos, my warm up so to speak
