Well I graduated in 1965..and still never heard of Playboy boots. Must have been a regional thing.

Ahhh...! The PLAYBOY boot! http://www.selectism.com/2011/08/22/sanders-playboy-boot/

The Sanders Playboy boot took on legendary status when little known, never photographed American actor, Steven McQueen (yeah, we’ve never heard of him either) wore them to great style effect in the 60′s. Setting themselves apart from the desert boot with a tough thick crepe sole it’s difficult to imagine a time when these won’t be a footwear classic.
