DescriptionPurple satin knee high boots
Label Text:Boots were an important trend in youth fashions of the 1960s and early 1970s; their dominance was directly correlated with the popularity of the mini-skirt and the general emphasis on the leg. These knee-high, purple satin boots anticipate glam rock styles with their bold color and shiny fabric.
