Rockabilly Shoes
How to get your kicks
Mary
Jane shoes are identified by the strap across the top of the foot.
Mary Jane's are usually heels, but sometimes flats are considered Mary
Janes. These shoes look great with a matching rockabilly dress or
pencil skirt, and can also compliment a pair of peddle pushers.
Bowling shoes are a nice comfortable shoe to wear with jeans or a longer rockabilly dress. Bowling shoes also make great swing dance shoes, the leather soles slide perfectly on the dance floor when swinging to your favorite rockabilly band.
What cute rockabilly chick doesn't own a pair of flats? These are an example of a great pair of flats with comfortable elastic around the heel and a nice bow to compliment the open toe. These can be found new for $10.00-$20.00, so buy a pair in every color to match every rockabilly dress.
Converse All-Stars, or "Chucks" are a classic rockabilly look. If you want something more socially aware, check out No Sweat shoes, they make union made, sweat shop free shoes that look just like chuck taylors.
Men's dress shoes can be hard to find because most men wear their shoes until they are old and worn out, but luckily, styles haven't changed too much for men over the last 50 -60 years, and you can find a nice new pair of dress shoes with a classic cut and style. These are a must for any rockabilly guy, they can be worn with your vintage suits, or with jeans and a vintage button up shirt.
Cowboy boots are a nice change of pace for men and women alike. The style of cowboy boots hasn't changed much at all since they were invented, so don't kill yourself looking for vintage boots, just buy a nice comfortable pair, and wear them with your favorite pair of Levi's or with a western suit or rockabilly dress.
Saddle shoes are classic rockabilly, they come in so many styles, cuts and colors, have fun with your saddle shoes, search for the most unique pair you can find! You will be the envy of the whole rockabilly scene.
