Doc martens, more commonly known as DM's used to be very popular amongst the punks and still are today along with other sub cultures such as emo's, goths and whatever else you want to call them. Usually paired with tartan trousers and outrageous hair styles and colours these days you can see them on the average person teamed up with today's main stream fashion. DM's come in lots of styles such as shoes, ankle calf and knee boots and also in heeled boots too,I have to say these are not the cheapest of shoes these days as the boots range between £70 - £130 depending what style you get. I finally received my first pair of calf length boots for Christmas a few years back, ...  Read the complete review

DMs have long been a fashion staple but their recent resurgence has seen them on the feet of many a teenager. However it takes the whole package to pull these off, and with a fairly hefty pricetag they might be a committment. However, buy and love one pair and you'll be buying lots more! Luckily, once your feet get used to your first pair, you'll not experience rubbing with the other lots which is always a benefit. Everyone that is familiar brand will see the tag hanging out of the back and give you a smile. These shoes aren't about 'fitting in'- they look great, stand well at gigs and they are actually really comfy, so ignore the fashion kids! The vast range of ...  Read the complete review

I received my first pair of Docs for Christmas when I was 14. It was the beginning of a lifelong love affair. They were burgundy, sparkly little eight hole beauties and I wore them every day. Nine years later, those Docs have holes in and my little toes poke out of the sides. I don't wear them anymore, but I haven't been able to throw them away. My mum tried once and I took them out of the bin. When I was sixteen, I received a black men's pair with steel toes. At 17, I got a pink pair, and in the last couple of years I've bought myself a bright red pair from a shop in Camden and for Christmas one year, I got a pair of Doctor Marten shoes - not boots, shoes, ...  Read the complete review

All through school (some 15-20 years ago) I was desperate for some Docs. All my friends had them and my mum decided I wasn't allowed any as they were 'too expensive'. Cherry reds were the colour of choice for the discerning school girl, and I had to make do with some cheap knock-off 'Sargent Pepper' boots that everyone could see were not the real thing. Then through the noughties the Doc was not so much the choice of fashionable young folk, and they were associated more with ageing rockers and hippies. But now they are back in the fashion limelight and I decided I wanted some again, the difference being this time that I was not at the mercy of my mother's finances. So ...  Read the complete review

Doc Martens have definatly proved that can pass the test of time. My dad used to wear them back in the 70's and here I am in 2009 with almost the exact same design on my feet. I own 2 pairs of classic boots - in black and oxblood red, as well as another 2 older pairs I wore throughout high school and some orange ones. The reason I love Docs so much is because they look cool! This cannot be denied, they are the coolest boots ever, and no matter what anyone else says its important to be cool! They're also so hardwearing (the amount of things I have fallen into or kicked without so much as a scuff!) and are extremely versitale - they can be worn with skirts, pants, shorts ..  Read the complete review
