I like how it goes by decade, but we all know it just means it's each one that's been added to the collection. We don't get rid of shit. It becomes vintage.

That feeling when you realise how much you've spent on goth shoes yet live in your Docs.

[Channel-vt]

So many of my dream shoes are in this video! Haha

My mom who was a teen in the 80's and sometimes talks about how she wore "pointy shoes". After this video I have realized my mom was totally goth in her teens

[jqrjhsf]

Looks like I could wear my black leather combat boots for the next 40 years and still be fashionable 🤔

[agnieszkaz]

I WANT THE 80s AND 90s SHOES SO FUCKING BAD OH MY GOD

[desantis]

That's some good goth eye-candy right there. The music was so good too !

[YamiSpechie]

My favourite style is 1980S #Gothpikes

[NoirVelours]

You know you're old when your normal shoes are still pikes and docs like in the 80's lol. Good video, goth footwear always and still is so badass and original!

[mariasalazar]

I would sell my soul to the devil for those shoes

[silvinamontenegro]

80's has so much witchy I love them, i need them in my unimpressive life!!!! To feel myself more unique, magic, dark and badass!!!!

[chani]

2:19 MY MOM HAS THE EXACT SAME ZOMBIE HEELS!!
Ps: She slays them

[SoSKnVL]

Being a child in the 80's I still have all my old shoes that are in this video with the exception of some Doc's that simply wore the hell out. One of the few "Goth" videos that are actually accurate. Bravo!

[metalasticatthedj]

When ever I see black boots with spikes...

When u didn’t know you had any goth shoes and one of your exact pairs of shoes shows up in the vid

Thanks for including some early lolita shoes in with this! Lolita rarely gets recognized for what it is, an offshoot of goth. Super cool video.
