SKINHEADS LOVE BOOTS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY WHITE POWER

Truthfully, it’s really just a handful of racist, religious bashing, badapples 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.

Dr. Martens 1460 Boots ($59.99 @ Amazon)

Made from tough leather with the classic Dr. Martens grooved sole pattern.

Solovair 8 eyelet boots ($116 @ aircushionboot.com)

Offers the utmost in strength, flexibility, comfort, and durability.
