  • White PVC Boots

    I remember the fashion for white PVC knee boots in the late 60s and early 70s. These were usually matched with a shiny PVC raincoat or mini dress.

    They were known as go-go boots and often were also paired with hotpants when they became popular. I think other colours were also available. I'm sure I remember girls wearing red ones with matching clothes.

      The girls who were with Lol Mason on the TOTP performances of the Maisonettes' song Heartache Avenue wore some, and I thought that they were ankle socks at first. Early 1980s I know but they were the same thing.

        I had forgotten about the Maisonettes girls wearing them. Late 60s to maybe mid 70s seemed to be their peak. Walking around you would see lots of girls wearing them. They must have been pretty warm on their legs in summer. I remember Ayshea wore them sometimes when presenting Lift-Off--sure she had a silver pair with matching hotpants. Another wearer was Mama Cass.

          Well I couldn't have forgotten them.

          I think that it was Pan's People on TOTP circa 1971 which popularised them, along with hot pants.

              Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

                        The thing is that I remember lots of girls wearing them in the early 70s, even in small towns. They weren't just a London phenomenon or something only worn by models and celebrities.

                        One of my secondary school teachers wore them on occasion. Not with hotpants I hasten to add, though I don't think there would have been many complaints from us if she had.

                          Either side of them pixie boots were popular in the late 1960s & again in the early 1980s.

                          My Mum reckoned they were bad for your feet.
