Go-Go boots were originally created in the 1960s with the intention that they should be worn while dancing (including, but not only, for go-go dancing). The term is said to have been originated by André Courrèges, who made a white, low-heeled boot, rising a bit above the ankles.
The term go-go boot is often used to define all types of fashion boots for women, usually knee-high boots. In some jurisdications they are more commonly called 'fuck-me boots' or simply 'FMBs', not always with a disparaging meaning. This kind of boots may be worn with a miniskirt or dress, but also with trousers, which can be tucked into the boots if they are tight or worn over them if they have a boot cut.
During the sixties and even today, go-go boots are thought to be a form of female empowerment.
