Shoes were never left out in the flair of fashion back in the 80’s. If you think that only dresses was the most noticeable ensemble in the body during that decade (aside from the big hair) then you’re wrong. The shoes complemented what was worn, completing it.

A lot of popular shoes of the 80’s can still fit in modern day fashion. Listed below are the shoes that were really popular in the 80’s, some are still until now.
