What is Beauty?
Originally taken up by wayward adolescent youth as a symbol of rebellion Doc Martens are firmly on the list of lust.
Solid, indestructible and defiantly special things have definitely moved on from the basic bomber boot of yesteryear. Now there’s an intriguing elegance and a characterful charm to their no-nonsense appearance.
I want.
If these weren’t embossed with paisley I would buy them for The Husband for Christmas…with the paisley?..just a bit too feminine? (Never, in a million years thought I’d ever say that about DMs..).
A possible compromise..but once you’ve seen that beige leather edging in the pair above..they look almost..boring! quell horreur!!
I saw this green pair walking down the street and my eyes followed, instinctively.
And my heart turned the same colour.
Would you ever think these were a pair of Docs?
So lush..
J’adore..
These would be treated with the same care I would give a small, cute, furry animal…

The blue embossed ones are my favorite. simply different. xx
I’m rather loving blue suede shoes on men at the moment…
All these pairs are so unique!!! Wearing an all-black outfit and just adding a pair of these creates the perfect outfittttt
I couldn’t agree more…black and these…delicious!
Some great pairs. My favorites — the blue paisley and the brown embossed. But you are right the paisley might not go over well with the straight Male crowd.
I am torn between the black and cream pair and the last pair…I have got the husband a liberty print shirt so maybe I’ve feminised him enough!
J’adore the gold and silver ones (they could almost decorate a designer X-mas tree) ! xxxx
So not what I would expect from Docs!!
I would be happy with the original eight hole boots in black and cherry red 😉
I’m a sucker for the shoes…but we had a fab show here in the uk with a lady in her seventies absolutely rocking a pair of Doc boots!
My partner has some he got in the 90s and he still wears them every now n then. Durable too.
They are classic, aren’t they? It brings back the memory of my student days… X
They’ve certainly stood the test of time!
makes me want to get my jeans on, a camel-like coat, and a black hat . Love them xx
I’d like to see that!
I love them all. My favourite student pair had glow in the dark soles – I still miss them x
Wowwwww! Never heard of glowing docs before!!!
They all look great! I loved my basic bomber boot in black. I wore them all the time in my teens, we went to heavy meatl concerts etc…:)
Would you were them now??
I actually still have them, but one of them has a crack in it on the top part, so that is why I don’t wear them. I have never had the heart to throw them out, because they represent some good times 🙂
Very classic! I love these designs! ❤

In reply to your latest blog post..I love my husband..does that count??! X
I watched online the programme with the lady in her 70s rocking her Docs. All the six women were brilliant and inspiring. I just want to go shoe shopping now. Kx
Wasn’t it fab? That incredible choreographer with her wonderful toy boy oozing love? Her flexibility at that age!! Gives me hope..except I can’t do that now! Can’t go wrong with a pair of Docs! xxx
Love the Spectator Doc’s…in serious lust!
Sigh. Spoilt for choice..to choose just one?! But you also know they’re going to last – both stylewise and in longevity xxx
I love my oxblood pair! I’ve not got my eye on that green pair though…
