The Cherokee company produced a range of shoes over the years, including heels (often with wedge heels), sandals, sneakers, boots, and slip-ons. The company’s focus was on comfort — shoes that were both fashionable and functional. For example, the brand produced high-heeled shoes for women — some of which you can see below — that had durable rubber soles and cushioned insoles.
It may surprise you to learn that the brand is technically still around — see their site here — although it looks like their products haven’t been available in stores for a few years, and they stopped posting to social media back in 2017.
Regardless, those once-stylish 80s Cherokee shoes and clothing will live on in hearts, minds, and eBay stores for many years to come.
