Kinky boots are
boots
Really sexy....
with extreme characteristics which are
intended to present a dramatic sexy appearance,
such as by a prostitute or dominatrix. Extreme
characteristics might include very high heels,
thigh- or crotch-high length, or unusual colors
or materials. They can be related to
boot fetishism, a kind of
shoe fetishism which thus make them a form
of
fetish clothing. The term is ambiguous,
since what can be considered kinky by some can
be seen as elegant fashion by others.
Boots of
this type, and specifically the thigh-high
leather boots worn by
Honor Blackman in her role as
Cathy Gale in
The Avengers,
are referred to in the
1964 song "Kinky
Boots" by Honor Blackman and
Patrick Macnee. Usually, nowadays the term
is connected to the type of
thigh-high boots used e.g. by
Julia Roberts in the movie
Pretty Woman

and by
Madonna in her
Re-Invention Tour in
2004.
