With the growth of heavy industry, thick-soled boots with reinforced toecaps were needed to protect the feet of workers in Britain’s factories and foundries, later becoming the footwear of the British army. Steel cap boots – with their metal cap exposed or concealed beneath the leather upper – became the footwear of the British working class. As skinheads emerged as a youth movement in the early 1960s, their working-class roots were reflected in their adoption of the steel capped Boot.
