80s Costume Ideas Footwear

Shoes jumped into the bandwagon of fun through brightly lit colors and big designs. If you think that it was just the clothing that gave flair to the fashion of the 80's, think again, because the shoes back then were made to complement every piece of cloth draped in one's body as well.
In the decade of excess, the variety of color was the most loved. Plain, and dark colored shoes were stashed inside storage closets, and vividly designed shoes paraded the streets.
Many popular shoes in the 80's could be brought back now and they are listed here to satisfy your craving for fashion.
Jelly Shoes comes in a variety of colors - black or white, neon, pastels and of course glitters! These are perfectly worn with casual clothes such as shorts and t-shirts, miniskirts and tank tops, and cute summer dresses. These shoes are made from jelly rubber, a type of PVC rubber. Although it looks like jelly, where it obviously got its name, wearing it doesn't feel like walking in soft, squirty jellies. Rather, they were quite hard and uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time.
Sneakers such as Keds, Converse, Reebok and Adidas were in a rage. These shoes were designed in colorful patterns with matching colored shoelaces. Others were glittery, while some were even studded. Sneakers with straps were also very popular such as the Reebok Hightops.
At first, the available colors were just white and black, but because they were in the 80's, colors such as blue, red, pink, and green were in demand. They were basketball shoes but were also a fashion statement in aerobics. But they weren't only worn for physical activities, also for casuals. These sneakers go well with denim skirts and tapered jeans.
And of course, what all women want. Pumps! These are found in almost every woman's wardrobe and will never get out of style. Back in the 80's they were loud and paired with equally loud clothing. Shiny and neon pumps were a match with different colored leggings. Actually, it goes well with almost anything.
