These look like mine. Almost flat black heel, from what I recall.

Yes, wore go go boots in black and brown, not white and fishnets. Mini dresses and Neru jackets as mini dresses because I was petite. Big bell bottom pants, halter tops and platform shoes. I loved that time of my life.

Re: Style from the 60s - anyone remember?

I remember the fishnet stockings, the mini skirts and dresses.  I had a pair of the white boots.  Also, I remember the maxi coats; they went down to the floor.  And, I had a few of the Poor Boy sweaters that were ribbed and longer.  Do you remember the quilted small floral jackets; they came from Carnaby Street too.  Late 60s early 70s, the wet look coats, shoes, bags.  I had a few of them.  Remember the Pilgrim shoes with the buckles and also the back of the heals were rimmed in gold.I wore those bell bottoms with the polyester floral tight shirts.  Ah the memories! Seems like yesterday I was a teenager!

I used to watch the TV shows Hullaballo & Shindig with the dancers and I wanted a pair of white gogo boots so badly!  I  never got them but wore fishnets stockings and it was always a relief to take them off!  They would leave little marks on your legs and feet and really were uncomfortable.

 

As others mentioned just before pantyhose came along we wore stockings that were held up with garters.  I can remember in Jr high wearing mini skirts (we used to roll them up) but when we sat down you could see the garters....not a good look!

 

By the time I was in high school (1968) we were allowed to wear jeans....and from then on  it's what I wore most of the time in school.

I had to go go boots white, and a beautiful orange knit hot pants that I wore to work and not an office job.  My job was a lot of fun.

No GoGo boots for me but I vividly remember getting my first bell bottom jeans. Got them at a store called K-Mart. I begged my mom for weeks and she finally gave in. My sister did the boots and the hot pants!  She danced on ****** Clark’s show. Nice memories. Thanks for reminding me of simpler times @ScenicMaine  ✌️❤️

Re: Style from the 60s - anyone remember?

I didn't have Nancy's boots but for some ungodly reason parent(s) bought me a pr of white rain boots to wear in the rain, snow - I don't know. I absolutely HATED these things, would not wear them (in my teens when this happened). I'd walk out of the house in them but then took them off and hid them outside in the garage. These boots then we wore over our shoes. One day of course my mother found them. This did not go well for me at all. Can't remember what happened but knowing how my mom was, she probably (1) told my Dad, the (2) tossed them in the trash just because I ****** her off just that much telling me she'd never buy me anything ever again!!!!

 

Those boots were not made for my walking for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
