Gothic Boots

No alternative outfit is complete without a pair of shoes to bring the whole look together. No matter your aesthetic, footwear can give you the edge when it comes to creating your own style.

Gothic boots are typically black with an often chunky heel or sole. Military-style boots are a popular choice of goth boot, sometimes with lace-up fastenings, zippers or buckles. Go extreme with Platform Space New Rocks or keep it subtle with some black lace-up boots such as 1460 Dr Martens.

Gothic boots are a great way to cement your style; whether it’s punk, cybergoth, indie or straight-up alternative, gothic boots are the way to go. Here at Blue Banana, we have plenty of different styles of boots to choose from.

Alternative Footwear Brands

What shoes are goth?

At Blue Banana, we stock some of the biggest names in alternative footwear. Our favourite brands of goth shoes include Dr Martens, Lamoda & New Rock.

Dr Martens are a famously English brand that established itself in the 60s with the classic 1460 Ankle Boots. From these humble origins, Doc Martens have become a staple of punk and alternative wardrobes across the globe with even more styles such as Jadon platforms, 1461 Shoes and Pascal Boots. Each pair of Dr Martens are expertly made with Goodyear welting and air-cushioned soles that make them iconic to the brand. You can rest assured that your Doc Martens are built for durability and with the highest quality materials.

If you’re looking for something with more edge, why not check out New Rock footwear. New Rock originated in Spain and has been making shoes since 1928! When browsing for New Rocks you’re bound to see many styles of gothic footwear including motorcycle boots, chunky platform boots and even eclectic high-heels. Whilst New Rock boots are predominantly leather footwear, you can still find a selection of vegan boots & shoes in our footwear range. New Rock is known for its eccentric styles made with high-quality materials such as real leather and natural rubber for the typical chunky soles. The Reactor Boot is the most popular style of New Rock often complete with metal buckles and rivets for a unique look. You won’t be disappointed with New Rock’s longevity and durability.

Lamoda is a brand that is fairly new to the gothic & alternative scene since being founded in 2017. A typical Lamoda shoe or boot is bold and edgy in its design. Platform boots and shoes go hand-in-hand with gothic aesthetics, making Lamoda a great choice for your wardrobe. If you’re looking for a way to add some glam to your look then a pair of Lamoda High Heels will do the trick! This totally vegan brand includes platform boots, platform shoes, as well as wedge and block heel shoes in a range of gothic designs. With spikes, studs, buckles and chains, these shoes are bound to fit in with your alt outfits. Made from PU Leather and man-made materials these vegan boots are great for those who are fashion conscious. Lamodas come in a range of colours such as pastel pink to match those pastel goth vibes.
