1960s • Acme • “Garden Party” Floral-Inlay Shorty Boots • Women’s 6.5
Why We Love Them
Mid-century showboots with a neon-poster palette. Emerald shafts bloom with marigold petals and embossed terracotta flowers; caramel vamps flash flame stitching. Shorty height, snip toe, and that unmistakable ACME swagger.

The Story
In the ’60s, Acme leaned into graphic inlay work that borrowed from border-boot tradition and honky-tonk flash. This pair captures that spirit—garden-bright shafts over hot-rod vamps—equal parts cowgirl and rockabilly.
