“Beatle” boots of the 1960s were popularized by the influential rock band, and they were fashionable for both men and women. While the basic style of the boot was originated for men in the 19th century, the addition of a higher “Cuban” heel gave it a more androgynous appearance. Its design is now emblematic of “Swinging London” fashion.
