Dr Martens

It wasn't until a friend of mine expressed her love for Dr Martens that these classics even entered my radar. Since then I've bought my very first pair of Docs and I have nothing but love for them. My only problem is that it is a one man battle to try and break these bad boys in. The first time my mum saw them, she said "Oh, they're nice! They'll be broken in by the time you're 40" she may very well be right.

At this very moment they sit on my bedroom floor covered in leather softner and stuffed with rolled up socks. My main problems are the instep cutting into me and a fair few heel blisters. Despite all the problems and hassle with breaking them in, I actually don't mind the effort. Dr Martens have been a classic for many, many years and even though I'm not one for spending a huge amount on shoes, I definitely see these as an investment. 

With the winter fast approaching and the rain making its way over most of the UK, it is nearly time for these guys to really shine. I'll soon be doing my main Autumn/Winter clothing shop and good waterproof shoes are something I greatly lack in. That means that I'm relying heavily on my Docs to keep my feet toasty warm and dry. 

As much as I love my current pair of brand spanking, shiny new Docs, I think in the future, I may look at getting my Dr Martens off of Ebay or other second hand marketplaces. The good thing about getting them slightly used is that someone has already done all the work of breaking them in! 

What do you think of Dr Martens? Absolutely love, or not really your style?
