80s Popular Boots

by Kathy

Western fashion in the 1980s was very much influenced by punk and new wave. Young people in the West were wearing more casual clothing and they were also experimenting with fashion trends such as body piercing, short hairstyles, and other unconventional styles.

In the US, young people were also developing a more casual attitude toward fashion. They wore less formal clothing and they began wearing more casual footwear such as sandals, boots, sneakers, and even sports shoes. They even started to wear athletic clothing such as track pants and jackets.

Teenagers across the world are looking for new fashion trends that will help them express their individuality. There are many different ways for teenagers to express this individuality through their style of clothing and footwear choices. Here are some popular boots from the 1980s:

Doc Martens

Doc Martens were a staple in the 1980s and continue to be a popular choice for many people in the 21st century. They were originally designed as a work boot by a man named Klaus Märtens. Märtens was a German army medic during the second World War who decided he needed to make custom shoes that were sturdy enough for his work. Nowadays, Doc Martens are being worn by many different types of people.

Teenagers tend to favor Doc Martens because they are a very versatile type of footwear. These boots can be worn with many different types of clothing. In the 1980s, these sturdy, rough docs were also the go-to choice for punk rockers who wore tartan pants, leather vests, and mohawks. On top of being comfortable and durable, they also give you that extra edge in your fashion, if you’re someone who likes having a bit of a rebellious streak.

Ugg Boots

Ugg boots originated in rural Australia, though there are debates on who first founded them. It is essentially a more stylish alternative to the traditional sheepskin boot. However, Brian Smith and Dough Jensen were the two people who first trademarked the UGG brand in the late 70s, where it continued to flourish all through the 80s and beyond. Regardless of their origins, they have become extremely popular, especially in Australia and all over the world

These boots can be worn with many different types of clothing such as jeans, shorts, and dresses. Because of their unique design and comfortable fit, along with their ability to keep your feet warm during winter, uggs are one of the most popular footwear choices for people of all ages throughout warmer weathers.

Heeled Boots

The heeled boot is a popular style that was widely worn by many people in the 1980s and beyond. These boots have high heels, which are usually made out of leather, and they are designed to be very comfortable and durable. They also give you that extra edge in your fashion to balance out the soft femininity of skirts and dresses, among other styling choices.

In the 1980s, these boots were extremely popular among different types of celebs, most notably Madonna. Madonna wore an iconic pair of white lace-up heeled boots, and after that, the style took off in the market.
