A doc-umentary

Doc's are dead brilliant, combat boots are dead brilliant.
I was probably on the verge of losing my pinky toe because of the shoes I wear. I seriously needed something equally KUTE and comfortable to replace my regular babies. Then I discovered doc martens, atypical and interesting I still was not entirely sure. Until I saw Daisy Lowe sport them. Although a tad overrated as most teen fashion idols become, I like her. Um, back to Docs anyway as we all know Dr Martens have long been the penchant of skinheads and neo-nazis (although I do like the look). Thank god, we them brought back from their brink of extinction. As I see/call it, Doc's are a very controversial shoe. I've read many people call them "So ugly they're beautiful". and with that I leave you to decide.

Whoah how did I miss all these amazing posts?

I must say I do love Docs - I used to wear them as a school shoe back in the day and I'm really bummed that I can't find them :( I love the coloured ones or the really cool patterned ones -they add a little spice to an outfit :D

I like the way docs look, but I'm not really sure that I could pull off the look.

Great post!
Yes, Doc's are totally timeless.
I had a pair when I was 12 (wore them to my school graduation!), then I had a pair when I was 14 (the 90's grunge stage), and now I have 3 pairs...in black, dark green and this brilliant floral print.
amazing. love them......xx

P.S I totally adore the skin-head look (but not what they stand for) Have you seen 'This is England'? so good.

I want a pair so badly but I just can't convince myself to save up to buy them! Plus, I love how they look when they're worn in. Solution: thrifting forever and ever.

i love the look of docs on people, but i feel like they would make me look stumpy D: i've been on the look out for slimmer boots that are similar but will hopefully work better with my frame, because i love themmmm!
