Gothic Shoes

Shoes can make or break an outfit. Adding a pair of unique footwear has the potential to elevate your style. Gothic shoes are typically black and can have a platform sole complete with buckles, laces and even studs; they sit below the ankle. Gothic shoes are a great way to spice up your look; change from casual to glam in a matter of seconds.

Blue Banana is an expert when it comes to gothic fashion, particularly with footwear. Find the latest styles from Dr Martens and Lamoda, as well as gothic favourites New Rock. If a pair of gothic boots are not your thing then opting for a pair of gothic shoes means that you can stay cool and comfy whilst maintaining your gothic aesthetic.

Gothic shoes are perfect for those summer months when a pair of boots are a no-go. Don’t suffer in thick boots in the heat; why not get yourself a pair of gothic shoes so that you don’t have to compromise your style?

Goth shoes come in a range of styles and designs so you can find the right pair for you. Here are just some of the styles of goth shoes we have on offer:

1461 Shoes: Dr Martens 1461s are just as iconic as their classic counterparts, the 1460 boots. These Dr Martens shoes include the typical Goodyear Welting and Air-Cushion soles in a smart shoe style. You can also opt for a Quad Platform sole for more height.
New Rock Tower Shoes: If you love New Rock boots then you’re sure to love New Rock Shoes. The Tower range has chunky rubber soles that give a platform to these gothic shoes. Decorated with the traditional metal features and buckles, these are quintessentially goth shoes.
Vegan Footwear: Here at Blue Banana, we stock plenty of vegan products including vegan footwear. Vegan gothic shoes use vegan leathers as well as PU and man-made materials to create gorgeous footwear to incorporate into your style. Popular brand Lamoda is a 100% vegan brand, using no animal products in their footwear. They’re also approved by PETA.
High-Heeled Shoes: Goth shoes don’t just have to be flat, you can get gothic footwear in platform and high-heeled styles. Lamoda is a great example of alternative footwear that goes above and beyond. Their alternative shoes come in chunky platform heels as well as wedge-heel and creeper-style designs.

What shoes are goth?

Gothic shoes can come in any shape or form. Some popular brands of goth shoes include New Rock, Dr Martens and Lamoda, all of which you can find at Blue Banana. Goth shoes are typically all black with platform soles.

How do you wear goth shoes?

Gothic footwear can be worn with almost any clothing! Pair your goth shoes with anything black and you’re almost there. Add some hair dye and gothic makeup to your outfit and you’ll have yourself a gothic look.
