List

I have moved the long list in this article to its own article, see List of boots in media and popular culture and Talk:List of boots in media and popular culture. John Anderson 19:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Um, which etymology is it?

In the article's lead, it says:

The term "go-go" is a 1964 back construction of the 1962 slang term "go," meaning something that was "all the rage"

Then in the very next section, it says:

The term Go-Go is derived from the French expression à gogo, meaning "in abundance, galore", which is in turn derived from the ancient French word la gogue for "joy, happiness".

Photo

The photo in this article is not a photo of go go boots. Not even close. There are hundreds of images of the original, white boots made by Courreges and copied worldwide. These boots look more like cowboy boots and its very misleading to the reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.102.139.139 (talk) 22:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

The photo to which this refers is in this diff. Valfontis (talk) 18:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
