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.


We aren’t in Northern Europe, sweetie.


NP. And?


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.


Not really. But hey, you tried.

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

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

If they speak to you, wear them!

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