We had docs and Birks before these kids were born. Of course we can wear them!

OP here. Indeed, i had this pair in high school. So when i told my sister i will buy them again, she reminded me that we had these 25 years ago and we are too old to wear these now. I would like to send her the link to these replies if i win 😄

Yes.

If you’ve ever been to norther Europe, many women wear this style of shoe with skirts and dresses and it doesn’t read as “young.” It does read as cool/creative, but not like a teenager. It’s a very practical shoe.

Yes. I wear the same ones I wore in college. Not just the same style, the same pair.

So, it’s really weird to hold up fashion trends in a region 4,000 miles away as applicable to here. Or as desirable.

I have mixed feelings on Dr Maartens. I came of age in the 1980s when wearing them was a counter culture statement. Now they are mainstream and ubiquitous so they’re really rather … basic.

Can a 40 yo wear them? I guess so, if she’s basic.

What’s basic is not wearing what you love because too many other people wear it, too.

If they speak to you, wear them!

I’m in my 50s and having foot issues, I’d wear Docs if they helped me. Are they too youthful or too orthopedic> They swing both ways
