Beatle boot

[2] Beatle boots saw the reintroduction of high-heeled footwear for men.

Beatle boots originated in 1958, but in October 1961 English musicians John Lennon, George Harrison and Paul McCartney saw Chelsea boots while in Hamburg, being worn by a London band, and then went to the London footwear company Anello & Davide to commission four pairs (with the addition of Cuban heels) for the Beatles, to complement their new suit image upon their return from Hamburg.

They were worn by subcultures such as Teddy Boys, beatniks, rockers and psyches etc.

The boots saw a surge of popularity during the punk movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s but again started to decline throughout the 1990s.

[citation needed] During the late 2000s and early 2010s the boots have seen a steady surge in popularity.
