When my last pair fell apart, I tried on docs in the store, but the quality isn't there since they moved the factory to China. I got Red Wing biker boots instead.

This is definitely true.

I'm 42, dear. The difference is I don't pretend like I'm 22 with the brooding, wear-all black but never any jeans BS.

Just because you're 42, you don't have to wear saggy beige mom capris and Grandma's orthopedic slip-ons.

I know a lot of people between 40 and 70 who mix up their styles (including Docs if they like them), wear a lot of black, and no one accuses them of trying to act 22.

I have 4 pairs of Docs and am 42. Was unaware one could be too old. (WTF?!)

You can buy ones made in England. They have factories in both China and England. You just have to read the stamps on the boots.

I'm 41 and still have these: http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/Womens-Shoes/8065-MARY-JANE/p/12916001

They're almost 20 years old and I wear them with jeans.

I'm 51, dear, and proudly wear my Doc Martens with my black pants and not-with-jeans.
