Why does everybody like Doc Ms so much?
They're so expensive! Where i live they're like $80 to $120. Thats alot for a pair of boots. I got my boots from goodwill for 4 or 5 bucks and i've had them for 3 years. Do Docs stay together well, to me they look they'd fall apart like the sole would detach or something. I'd rather by a good pair of specialty work boots that are made to stay together.

Just had a look at the site for them. The style has changed on them - thinner front look and smaller heel than conventional ones. Plus, they are limited to 8 holes - non-steel toed.

I would skip doc martins, and head straight for some 'gripfast' boots. They're made in England, they come in 10, 14, 20 eye, even in burgundy if you desire and the steel toes.
the boots are advertised as a medium 'D' width, but if you get the steel toes, they are actually built wider. The ten eye steel toes I bought have ample room for my toes.. I'm a stickler with this as I usually buy a E width with all my footwear. They are also pretty light weight for steel toe boots.. possibly lighter than my last pair of Doc's. I also havent noticed any inconsistancys with leather thickness (namely around the heel area, where it can really chaffe), so I suppose it goes without saying some english dude's attention to detail goes further than.....some asian kid getting whipped or something.
I'm a happy customer.

yeah DMs ARE FUCKING AMAZING. they are uber comfy uber hot looking and if they fall apart you sew em back up together,
i have had my DM's for YEARS now. and they are only now coming apart due to massive wear and tear and me being a roughian and ploughing through snow and rain in em and sludge and wearing fourpairs of socks,
and i had my last pair since i was 9/10years old. they were my first pair and my mother was so proud giving em to me, and i was like FUCK YEAH and although they didnt fit me aftr my feet grew i gave em to my little brother he didn't want em after he got other boots and so he gave em to my best friend who shares a shoe size with him. i mean it is just pure amazing to see how long they have lasted. especially with my familly my brother skates and i run about and mill through shitty weather conditions and get up to all sorts in DMs.
they are difinitly worth it! my mother wore DM's bad in the day, my ole pops wore DM's back then too and they are AMAZING. and the shoes carry history of puke, shitty times, good times, and a hole loada love.

CRAZY COMFORTABLE! Badass steel toe! Dependable! Just don't get the new docs they're made in Asia now as well as converse. get the na na's if you can find 'em.

I dont like em, I never have, they are to "pointy" for me if that makes sense.....plus I dont like the soles on em either, they are too thin, I like big chunky soles, like the ones you find on Grinders or Gladiator boots.

i bought my docs for 15 bucks at a second hand store. they're super comfortable and i love them but i wouldn't pay full price for em. the most expensive shoes i buy are converse and i wear mine till they fall apart and even then i just patch em up best i can and keep wearing em.

I love docs theyre comfortable and they last forever. My "mother " got a pair when she was a teen and she walked all over Europe with them. Se still has them. They're built to last. They were used as work boots back in england for quit a while back then.

Want something unique and punk, look at German Army or US Army issue tanker boots.. Sure Doc Ms are nice, but yeah.. Expensive! I just wear my Converse all-star hi-tops.. $30 shoes and comfy!

That's a lot cheaper than we can get them over here! :O For a size 10 US (size 9 UK that is to me =) ), they are the equivalent of around $65 in the UK!
Colour(s) of Converse?

My converse are black and white, noting special about them.. Mine are 9.5 UK and I have only had this pair for about a year and I only paid $30 here..
I bought them at a local store calle Shoe Show, check out their website.. (It seems the price went up a few dollars..)
