I was sifting through my stuff today, and I found my old doc martens

[Roon]

I have been wearing them all day and I swear,they are just as comfy as a high quality sneaker!!

about 15+ years ago, my paternal Grandmother died. I was never close to her, I could count as many times on one hand that I saw her.But she left me $300.00!! I took that money and took it to imi jimmi here in Denver and bought my first and only doc martens. Gawd, I am getting old.

On Edit:The boots didn't cost 300.00...they cost 100.00 plus tax. I forget what I used the other 200.00..probably for life

1. Ah... Doctor Martens boots. Cool. Are you going to start wearing them around?

If I could find my old pair I think I'd roll up my jeans and take them out for a stroll once in a while.

9. They are such a pain to lace up

I am going to wear them when I want to impress somebody! :-P

[Roon]

17. They feel so good!!!

2. Docs are the shit. I'm on my 2nd pair...

I.e., have worn docs for about 15 years.

[Roon]

10. They are worth their weight in pennies

I give them that!

[no name no slogan]

3. I wore 'em for ten years straight

...and I still have one pair of DM boots I bought when I lived in London in 1991. I still wear 'em on occasion, mainly if I want to feel totally badass.

[Roon]

11. They are a lot of fun to wear

plus you look and feel so sexy wearing them!

6. I have a pair of Merrels' clogs I've worn for years.

They never wear out and they feel like slippers.


Got 'em for about 20 bucks at T.J. Maxx a lo-o-o-ng time ago.

14. Nice!!

I bet there are some medics who would like those instead of those ugly crocks.

7. I still have mine

and you are right, comfy as anything. Mine are navy blue. I never wear them, but I can't seem to part with them......:shrug:

[Roon]

15. I wore mine when I dressed up

or was on the prowl. Now'll I wear them to show all the kids how hip us older folk can be.....

8. My Doc Sandals have lasted for ever.

Like 10 years, and I can't wait until it is warm enough here to wear them again!

[Roon]

16. Those are so cool!!!

I have three pair of ADIDAS etc. that I trade up during the summer. But if i had a pair of doc sandals!! LOOK OUT!!!!

[azmouse]

18. I prefer Don Martins

21. Oh gawd, I'm still

wearing a great leather pair of doc martens. They are so old, I truly can't remember when I bought them. Definitely quality shoes.
