Doc Martens

I think they're hideous but, at the end of the day, comfort counts most so good luck to all who wear them. Just not for me.

Get yourself a pair!

I have 2 pairs. Very comfy as well

I love them, they’ve never been comfortable for me, but if they were I’d wear them now. All 4 daughters have had them at one time or another. As teenagers 2 of them said they wouldn’t go to go to their brothers wedding unless they could wear DMs…. that wasn’t a battle worth fighting, so they did!

I wore them on the beat when young and have worn them since they are practical and comfy at any age. My granddaughters wear them they are really nice in patent leather.

Absolutely nothing wrong with DM’s whatever age you are

Yes I still wear mine, especially in winter

My DD and DGD wear them almost 100% of the time. DD is 51. She loves the designs but mainly because they do them in a 9. She wore a pair for her graduation 27 years ago. Goth phase then .

I prefer boots to shoes and my favourite pair are Fly too rafichagran.

Yep, I still wear my old 70's oxblood/red DM's and they are still comfortable. Your GD's rainbow DM's are beautiful MrsPickle. Go on, get yourself a pair!

My favourite boots, many moons ago, were red Kickers..sighing for times past.

Lovely boots,love Fly boots as well.

I also have a few pairs of doc sandals.
They're very comfortable.

Mine are getting worn out now, but they were a lovely iridescent purple when they were young.

I had a pair of DM sandals about a decade ago and they were possibly the stiffest, heaviest and most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. They were expensive and I ended up taking them to the charity shop as they never 'wore in'.

That said, your granddaughter's boots are so pretty.

Our DD2 lived in them in her teens and still wears similar lace up boots now.
I never minded her having them as they were well-made and accommodated her wider than average feet.

DD1 and my Granddaughter both have DMs as soon as I can get to the shop (to try them on) I’m getting myself a pair, theirs are such soft leather.

My daughter’s favourite footwear about 20 years ago - well, actually, I think I’ve still seen them on her ?
