With the '90s comeback barreling along at full speed, some of our favorite trends are appearing from the woodwork and with them, a plethora of '90s shoes we loved. The 1990s was a great time for weird and wonderful fashions, and footwear was no exception. The decade arguably birthed some of the most memorable shoes of all-time. Some nostalgia-loving, footwear-obsessed folks would probably do anything to get their mitts on a pair of killer '90s kicks now.
Among the fave footwear of this period were kooky jelly sandals, those stretchy creepers, and of course, who could forget '90s platform shoes? The Spice Girls, in particular Baby Spice, made platform boots insanely popular, even though most of our moms were paranoid we'd fall and break every bone in our body if we wore them. But there is one shoe that seems to have been forgotten amid the throng of exciting, novelty footwear of the '90s: moon boots.
No, I'm not talking about those dangerous moon shoes that daredevil kids would play with. The space-age shoes I'm referring to are the much more stylish kicks that helped us navigate snowy sidewalks or trek across terrains when we were on a ski vacation. Although Tecnica launched the moon boot in 1969, they came back into vogue in the 1990s. So with the '90s trend still going strong, here are some futuristic yet retro vintage moon boots for sale right now.
