SKINHEADS LOVE BOOTS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY WHITE POWER.

Truthfully, it’s really just a handful of racist, religious bashing, bad apples that ruined it for the rest of the SKINHEAD population. Skinheads actually first appeared in the UK (in the 1960s) as a peace-loving group that followed ska and soul bands. This whole Neo-Nazi / white supremacist thing didn’t come into play ‘til the late 70s. Unfortunately this uber-evil Skinhead sect gained tremendous popularity. 

Even in ‘87, when visionary / Skinhead Marcus Pacheco formed SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), it did little to stop this monster movement. Since then both Skinhead groups have been in strong opposition of each other for 20 plus years. EXCEPT, when it comes to one subject – BOOTS. Both camps agree that in order to look your Skinhead best, you need a powerful, ass kicking, foot stomping boots. Here are the top two faves of both groups.
