"These Boots Are Made For Walkin" was written by Lee Hazlewood and first recorded by Nancy Sinatra. It was released in February 1966 and hit No.1 in both the American and UK Charts.
When the single was first released, some people thought it was about the on-going subway strike in New York.
The song was adopted by troops in the Vietnam War when they marched, and Sinatra traveled there in the 1960's to perform for the American soldiers.
