Rockabilly Shoes
The
Creeper Shoe

Creeper shoes were originally sported by popular
artists from the 1950’s like Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis.
These shoes were worn mostly by men and came in every color and
color combination imaginable. However, rockabilly shoes have always been most popular in
traditional black and white. The
same is true today; those looking to purchase rockabilly shoes will
usually search out the black and white patterns.
Also, today, creeper shoes are made available in a more feminine
style for women.
Those who are familiar with
rockabilly know that it is not just a musical genre – it is a distinct
sub-culture that has inspired a complete lifestyle, including rockabilly
wear. Yes, even a fashion
trend emerged from this sub-culture of followers and music lovers. One of the most well-known pieces of clothing are the
rockabilly shoes, referred to as creeper shoes.

Other rockabilly shoes include peep
toe heels for women. Heels in
the 1950’s were not stiletto style, but they were not the thick
platforms of the 1970’s, either. They
were sexy and yet rebellious in nature, breaking away from the norm. The heels were sexy and sassy and put a healthy “swagger”
in the women’s walk.
Rockabilly clothing has had nearly
as much influence on society as the music itself. As a sub-culture, rockabilly seems to have withstood the test
of time quite well and almost seems to be growing now. In the 1980’s, The Stray Cats were quite successful, and
they can attribute their style to the rockabilly influence. They wore their hair in the typical pompadour style, and clad
their feet in rockabilly shoes.
Rockabilly music has become an inspiration to all
music lovers, and rockabilly clothing is still a popular style of dress
today. Though toned down from
the flamboyance of the original wear in the 1950’s, rockabilly shoes,
clothes, and hair are still loved today.
