That's killer I'll have to get me one, sweet hawk by the way

Glad to help.  :) Keep on going with the phone - your multi-coloured 'hawk is amazing.

I know you might not want to do me any favours, but if you do feel down for it, it'd be a great action desktop pic, if you were looking down at the camera with an expression as if you are about to stomp the camera, with your sneaker tread raised high above it, lit by the flash?

I don't know if it's an iPhone?  Perhaps this self-timer app TimerCam might be useful for that as well your other pics. :)

Hey, with all the tech problems, just don't be tempted to stomp the phone, if you do decide to do the pic for me! haha

Worn thru, are they? XD  I don't mind a bit of wear and tear, as long as there's some tread left - is real.  Brand new are very samey, they haven't got the real world 'customisation' from walking. haha  So, I'll be impressed seeing with your real deal, even if it's just a close-up shot of them on. :)

Dark red sounds fine.  It's interesting when folk get something new too, never know what to expect.  Fun watching the first time unboxing too. :D  What are dokkas?  Oh, and if you like shiny metal, go for it! :D  More unique = better. =)

Yeah, I left the yellow in over night - but it didn't really do anything and I put too much red in with the yellow the next day.  It's hard trying painting it on part way up, while the 'hawks down.  Next time, I'll try your tip with the blob of red over the top - got lots of dye left.

Aye, stompin' is always fun :)  And your DCs look good for it from the 'Strollin'  pics.

Ahhhh docs!  That makes sense now. :D  Dark red - rare! - and with spikes to be added?  That would be something with ye stompin' the screen out with them too. haha  Are you thinking about getting steel capped ones?  And how high?

I've found steel toes just as comfy, better shape, rounder toecap gives more room and designed more for long hours wearing.  I don't know either if they've ever armoured up Docs on the outside with steel. I knew someone who did it DIY on their boots tho.

I always liked the 14s, but I agree they take too long to lace.  With 10s you can always just wrap the laces round below the last two eyelets and save time and yet get the extra boot height, look & support.  Plus, good for armour shin guards adding! haha

I might be able to find a good deal for you on dark red DMs, what size you after?

Hell fuck yeah thats a Hawk ya got there.

One of the best comments ever, there. haha :D

Ok, I've been doing a lot of hunting down the last few days and found the different types of red DMs (the left two are 'Cherry Red', so might be brighter than the pics show).

So, to narrow my continuing search down, which style of 8 eyelets(I know, 1st pic also offered in 8, but only pic for 10), do you want me to look for? (click to enlarge)  And what sort of upper price limit?

Upload a few shots of your DCs too with those answers,  just simply from your chair, looking down, with legs out front and cross your feet; and then two shots with one foot resting on your knee and take a pic from the side, to capture the sole and for each shoe?  That way I'll know what's coming with yer stompin' pic in the meantime while I hunt for the docs! :D Cheers!

The first three didn't upload right, just a thumbnail.  Can you reupload the first three? 'Cause they look awesome, but they're really, really, tiny.  The rest, I'm gonnae comment on.

But if you can get those first three uploaded in full - you are one awesome punk pumpkin stomper destroyer! haha  Please let me have the first few for desktop size - that would be great. =)

haha Just awsum to see you having fun tho' - I'm laughing out loud here lookin' at what you did to that poor pumpkin and seein' you all happy above the remains. ROFL hahah

Glad you had fun with it, and deffo, it'd be great to see more of your stompin' and destroyin' with your DCs, docs, whatevar!  haha  They were impressive!  And the pumpkin didn't stand a chance! haha  And the 'hawk impressive as ever!

Sorry to ask for those three tiny ones reuploaded full size - some of the best ones too sadly.   Hope you will tho' :D  And thank you in advance!  Awsum, jester!

Those turn out the same small ones, just re-transfer from the camera to get the full sized to upload again and that'll sort them.  You gotta rule with your red DC treads, man! :D

You can see the fade amount in my latest pic from a couple days ago - in daylight, it's a bit more pink than red now.  Ah, who cares?

The bottom one the leather gets darker towards the heel.  Price wise, the top one was £142.50 from England; the other was £96 from Japan.  I'll keep an eye out for cheaper ones from different auction sites for ya.  I was chatting to someone who'd spray painted their boot toe-caps silver on Tuesday.

Ideas...depends really on what you think's possible too.  You want to add me on Skype (skip.micadm) to bash out what ideas could work sometime?  It might be a few days until I'm online in the evening tho'.

Sadly, discontinued from last year or so - but another variety to look out for:

Dr Martens Carey Mens 8 Eyelet Rub-Off Leather Boots - Cherry Red +...

They worked!  Finally saw your total pumpkin destroyin' 'Grrr' look full size! :DD  And I can even see the left over pumpkin scraps in your DC treads! haha  Pics are Legend! :D

Thank you, mate!  Desktop they a'go!  Plus, man, all your new DC tread self-camera shots(including every shot) all over my wall - SchWEET! - with your face diff. expressions & multiple soles all cool!  Your 'hawk is absolutely splendid, even better man!  Way to go!
 
I'm fine, I was wondering what was wrong myself. Are you doin' good? Did you not get my reply next day on the 19th?  Or the fire orange comment and Friday's pumpkin teeth question? (I'm keen to hear about that. haha)
 
With no replies, or add on Skype in 3 weeks... well...I guess it gave me time for plenty neat ideas to talk about what stuff could be smashed and cool how's with ur DCs in a direct-to-video sequel to: "Smash - Veggie Hater" haha - if you'd still like to and will stomp star for me? :D

Yep, most folk seem to check other places more than here, like FB and then it's rare to get a reply without another means.  Plus bouncing off ideas, questions or boot bargains haha( as they occur is a lot of fun & easier in real-time online. I'll save my ideas for my next reply.

Yep nothin' wrong with a pink mohawk - except you want orange! =)  Ur 1st colour pink mohawk pics?  That would be cool to see how you looked.

I'll bear your docs price limit in mind - I find lots nearly daily of the cherry boots for cheap; apart from the dark vintage red (@ £96 inc. postage below) is proving elusive anywhere else.  I'll keep huntin'

Anyway, few little questions:

1) How long did the pumpkin last before it was completely flattened beneath both your DCs? (Awesome shot btw :D)

2) How many attempts did it take to break into it with your foot?

3) What happened to remains - you're shown walking away?

- except ^when you want orange (missed the word 'when')

Got a nasty stomach bug, here's an idea - would you stomping my guts out help? 'Cause being sick repeatedly ain't getting rid of it. :(  Hope you're well?

Ah, happy little pumpkin met happy jester's feet - looked like happy ending for one of you! haha

Ok, some possible ideas I'd like to see you do with your DCs - with video this time!

 - Easy ones, video from the ground & one looking down of you putting out ur ciggie?

 - Crushing a cigarette packet from the side.

 - Left over apple (draw a little smiley face on it?) and then see how it fairs as you walk over it; ending up some smashin' and pulping & grinding.  Oh, and after the vid, some pictures of the left over pulp & your trainers looking down and of what's trapped in your treads? :D

- Egg shells - should make a great crunch and pop under your DCs?

- Other fruit, like a soft tomato, rotten banana or orange? - much like the apple, with video & pics to show the final results & who did them. :D

- Egg carton - walk over it and flatten each compartment, then rip it to shreds with your DCs. haha

- Empty cans/plastic bottles - collect a few & stomp however you like! XD

Can you do some of these (over time)?  I thought video for these would be fun to see your smashing in action :D and you don't need anyone else to help take them.

Here's a couple easy sites for sending video files:

https://www.wetransfer.com

https://www.transferbigfiles.com

And if they don't work, Skype can handle big files: http://www.skype.com/

Just about.  You keeping well?  Getting prepared for Xmas?

You deleted some before?!  :O  Noooo... :'(  Every shot is extra special.

Glad you like the ideas!  I'll like seeing how you make them into reality - or deconstruct reality haha

With video can see & hear you smash - where things give, crunch & pop to your DCs! haha :D  Some stills too before/after would let you do both.  Just I don't think things will last long to you, to get many stills in until after. lol

I found an easy way to upload direct from your mobile, email any video to: 3gbsbd5878q8@m.youtube.com

They'll be unlisted, but I'll be able to get from there.  Or email with the below links to: cmdskp@live.com

I have some Xmas finds - not finding much on the fav. DM rub-off red/black style, except this pair sold in May, which has some good photos to get an idea on how well they break in.  Still, where one is sold, others will be - esp. maybe after Xmas.

Found some nearby places to you that sell DMs, probably not those, but you never know: John's Shoes in Derby; The DM Store in Manchester; Jake's Shoes in Manchester Arndale.

And although well outside the budget, similar style of Grinders Boots you may be able to find them on sale in the high street.  Another alternative anyway. :)

First own family Xmas with the grandparents too?  Sounds like photo opportunity round the dining table or tree!  Cooking's great fun, started it as a hobby too a few years ago when I got fed up with the prices & always eating ready-made frozen dinners. haha  The net's great for new recipes tho I mostly chuck stuff in for dinners.  I can get how it lets you unwind or escape. haha  What are you thinking on cooking for the big Xmas dinner?
 
Yes, life changes unexpectedly at times, there's always something you never think you'd end up being.  For me, this year, it was starting gardening, practically zero interest before to suddenly growing everything I could. haha  Not quite as radical an impact as starting a new family, my friend has being going through that, it's amazing how fast his young one has developed.  You'll be experiencing that all the time. :)
 
Improving; had to cancel my older brother's visit 'cause of the stomach bug - don't want to spread that! haha  So, I've yet to work out anything for Xmas dinner, getting food in tomorrow.  No doubt it'll be a quiet time, but I like that anyway - tho' the sound of stompin' through the snow is very cheerful too! haha  None here now tho' :(  Have you any atm?

/is lookin' forward to your next 'step' - gettin' curious to see! :D  No doubt busy time tho' :) Merry Xmas!

 I'm sure you'll do fine and it's not Xmas without home made food! =]  Did the cooking all go well? 
 
As to NYE - way in a tiny village here - so probably just watching some fireworks get let off. 

Should be fun with some of your friends round for a little drink anyway, even if not too rowdy. What happened with your last one?

Yeah, I did the same - only grew stuff I could eat - apart from Marigolds 'cause they protect other things growing - the slugs liked them a bit too much latterly tho' haha

Here's some of what I grew - what about yourself?  I'm still a learner...so any tips are always welcome - esp. against the slugs :)

Yep, videos via Skype is fine - add my id as: skip.micadm
 
Good luck with the sales for some boots.  If I'm online with Skype, can I join in the grand unboxing when you get them?  haha I'd like seeing tools handy for your moar smashin'! XD

Have a great Xmas day, man!  Enjoy everyone opening the presents! =]

Happy birthday, mate!  Hope you have a good one.
