Honor Blackman as Cathy Gale had already made go-go boots a fashion
fetish by wearing them in The Avengers. They started off ankle-height
and crept up to knee-high by 1966, when Frank's daughter
Nancy Sinatra scored a UK no.1 with These Boots Are Made for Walking
in January 1966.
In her white go-go boots she was (almost) every
man's fantasy - and soon every woman young enough to get away with
it (and some who weren't) were wearing them.
In December 1990 Patrick McNee and Honor Blackman
released the Kinky Boots song as a tribute to the craze.
Now hundreds of websites are devoted to kinky boots.
