Betty, I have to ask at work. I hope somebody besides me remembers them. I just know there was a name for them. Oh, I have it -- go-go boots! Anybody else remember go-go boots? I thought the name sprang from that same era as the song, "These Boots Were Made for Walking," which is the song you mentioned first, Betty.

a couple years ago I went to a barn sale. An old man had bought out a ten cent store in the 1960s. There were all kinds of things for a quarter. All new stuff... But setting on a shelf against the wall there was a whole row of go go boots all peeling apart all those years. I can't get that out of my head when I think of go go boots...
