Origin
Shoes creepers at one time was popular with the US military. The thick sole softened the sound of footsteps, preventing stamping. After the war, soldiers went to bars a lot and did it, naturally, in what they had. So the criminals noticed mods of the time and by the 1950s the shoes on the platform, along with narrow short trousers and jackets, were the main element of the ward-ward wardrobe. Behind them, the trend was picked up by subcultures - punks and new romance. Then for a few decades, the shoes went into the background, and now returned to the new images.
