I've added in a picture of a pair of early 70s vinyl boots from a Swedish museum. While they ARE what a lot of people think of as go-go boots, I didn't make them the lead image as to me, a true go-go boot looks like this.
There IS this image which shows a "modern" go-go boot with kitten heel - but I don't see much about the modern go-go boot in the article, so I've not added it in (plus I'm not sure the ruching is QUITE go-go) but it's still a really good illustration of a modern go-go boot. Mabalu ( talk) 01:52, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
So I've done a major rewrite, referencing, and hatchet job. Some issues I want to raise:
Golo Footwear, an American shoemaker, is generally credited with designing the first go-go boot in 1961.<ref>''Harper's Bazaar'', September 1962</ref> This new look, however, was considered quite radical, and did not start to gain commercial success until photographer Bert Stern shot Barbra Streisand wearing them in the August 1965 issue of Vogue.<ref>''Vogue'', August 1965</ref><ref>MacSweeny, Eve (2001).''Nostalgia in Vogue''. Rizzoli.</ref>
Anyway - I need to add more on the go-go boot post 1960s, but I think the article is now much more fit to be seen. Mabalu ( talk) 14:47, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Go go boots are white, anything else are just boots. Please remove. Pookerella ( talk) 02:52, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
PS, there were other rare colors, red, pink, yellow, white with some black, but never, ever black. Pookerella ( talk) 03:41, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
