Winklepickers

Men's Winklepicker Shoes

Nothing says sharp like a pair of Winklepickers, the sharper the toe the better! These dapper men’s shoes are not for guys who want to blend in - Winklepicker shoes are truly an expression of style and flamboyance. Winklepickers are ironically named because the sharply pointed toes would be ideal for removing winkles from their shells! Originating in the rock n roll era of the 1950s, Winklepicker shoes really gained popularity with the early Mods of the 60s. Soon after The Beatles started wearing Chelsea boot winklepickers, sales of men’s winklepickers went into overdrive. The unconventional style of Winklepickers has meant that they’ve been worn by rock stars and non-conformists ever since.
