VINTAGE BOOTS: BOOTS THAT TALK

People have different things to say about vintage boots. Some say vintage boots are fashionable. Others say vintage boots are for old people. Vintage boots do not go well with modern dresses. Vintage boots are too expensive. If a pair of vintage boots are too cheap to be true, it's a counterfeit. But despite all these claims, one thing is certain: that vintage boots will never go out of style.

In this article we'll talk about how a pair of boots become vintage boots, and where to find loads of them online.

A fashion statement

So what makes a pair of boots vintage? Is it with the design? Or does it have something to do with age?

The term “vintage boots” refers to a pair of boots designed to have an old school look, anywhere from the 80s or 70s or 60s or even farther back. For instance, the 60s saw the rise of hippie fashion. So batik fabrics and leather boots were in. In the 70s, people geared towards brightly colored rubber boots as the new popular look. Then avant garde fashion began spreading in the 80s—tight, more elegant boots were the norm. Any modern pair of boots can be considered vintage if it sports any of these retro fashions.

It is safe to say that perhaps the main concept behind the design of vintage boots is that it is “anti-modern”.

Shopping for vintage boots

If disco fashion was popular in the 80s and minimalism during the 90s, then '00 is known as the decade of retro fashion. So you can expect the major designers of the world to incorporate retro themes in most if not all of their products, including boots. Vintage boots by Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan are very popular, as are second class but affordable brands.

Speaking of affordable brands, a nice pair of vintage boots costs around $40 to $90. These aren't counterfeit products, so the boost should last you a long time. Designer vintage boots are a lot more expensive; they can go as high as several thousand dollars. So refrain from buying them unless you are absolutely sure you want them.

Vintage boots are more than just clothes for your feet. They are fashion statements, designed to say more about you than any other pair of shoes.
