Drawing on case studies from the MIAMI Shoe Museum Research Center, these boots were introduced in 1967 after two years of research and development. They were part of a series of experimental polyvinyl chloride (PVC) designs, reflecting the era’s fascination with innovation and modern materials. Manufactured by G.B. Britton & Sons in Bristol, they were produced using an injection-molding process in which liquid PVC enveloped a cotton jersey lining to form a seamless structure. Hand-finished details, including trimmed edges, highlight the balance between industrial technique and craftsmanship. With their streamlined silhouette, flat heel, and bold height, the boots perfectly complemented the youthful aesthetic popularized by Mary Quant, becoming an iconic expression of 1960s style.
