Dr Martens?

I have black Docs that I bought in Dublin in 95 when I was 17 years old. I loved them then and still do, but I'm not sure I agree that they're all that comfortable. As others have said they are really heavy. I may wear mine this weekend! I'm a 35 year old mom now, but who cares.

My cool friend took me to buy my first pair at a store in the village in the late '80s. I am not old enough for them to come BACK into style. (I have a couple pairs, and a flight jacket, and some vintage dresses stashed just in case my daughter has "'90s Day" at school-she's a toddler.)

Another 39 year old who bought a pair in the UK in the early 90s and wore them daily for years, until I couldn't deny my feet had grown a half size. Donated them but I would buy a pair again if they still made the old sole (don't like the new chunky pattern) and had the standard black leather (don't like the soft/matte or the patent). Thought about getting some oxblood ones, too, maybe I'll go that route this time around.

I'm almost 40, and still wear my docs sometimes....although I'm more of a "creepers" kind of gal.

Dr. Marten's is opening a store in Georgetown, on M St., shortly.

They HAD a store in Georgetown, back in the day. It was called Commander Salamander.

Ooh! I want the oxblood ones too!

I'm 35. Had 2 pair, black and printed black and white. Damn I feel old now, it hard to say I had Docs more than 20 yrs ago! Donated them about 10 years ago.

If you dress stylish, I think you could get away with wearing a plain black pair. I wish I had kept my old ones, pp is right, the sole isn't the same anymore.
