Steampunk Shoes: The Industrial Sci-Fi Victorian Aesthetic That's Taking Over the World

Steampunk has, until recently, been considered a small subculture. However, with the way its industrial sci-fi Victorian aesthetic is now captivating a massive audience, steampunk is also ready to take over the world above ground!

Fashion has long been drawing inspiration from steampunk, but nothing like the shoes we feature today. Hades, formerly Metropolis Alternative Shoes, leads the steampunk shoe revolution with its distinctive and daring designs.

Featuring screw-on metal heels, cog n’ gear embellishments, and seemingly welded-together parts, these Hades steampunk shoes are the fantasy shoes that will breathe life into your shoe collection.

If you’re not the type to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a non-practical pair of shoes but will do so at least once or twice, these shoes might as well be IT. These shoes will make you stand out, turn heads, and get you compliments, possibly all at once.

Hades specializes in alternative footwear, but you can easily see how these shoes can have a much wider appeal. At the very least, they can be mixed and matched with clothes beyond the steampunk genre.
