Creepers shoes are a classic footwear style that dates back to the 1940s. Originally worn by soldiers during World War II, they became popular with civilians in the years following the war. In the 1950s, Teddy Boys, a subculture in the UK, adopted the shoes as part of their signature style. In the 1970s, punk rockers embraced the shoes, giving them an edge that would make them a mainstay in alternative fashion for years to come.

Pair it with suit pants, jeans, a dress, or a skirt, nothing is wrong with a pair of Creepers.
