The 1960s and 1970s were a tumultuous area in global history that gave rise to a number of different trends and movements, one of them being the steampunk movement. Originating in a specific sub-genre of cyberfiction, steampunk quickly spread to an overall artistic movement that encapsulated a fusion between Victorian and science fiction or fantasy trends. Today, steampunk exists as an articulated expression of elaborate design and technological innovation, creating a fantastical world of fun and intrigue. This article is all about the best steampunk shoes you can find online!
Steampunk Fashion
Steampunk clothing often incorporates all of the many elements of Steampunk into its design, including fantasy, technology, and Victorian history. One particularly elaborate part of Steampunk are the shoes. Steampunk shoes are usually boots and vary depending on the individual. For women, steampunk boots are typically black or brown in color. Most feature towering spike heels and laces or belt buckles for additional drama. Steampunk shoes and boots are usually made of leather, suede, or other vinyl materials and tend to rise high on the leg for further drama. All of them combine elements of Victorian and Gothic style.
