I'd go with basic black or oxblood though,you'll get more wear out of them since they'll go with most outfits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074567.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074657.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2074843.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

The white are probably the worst choice. they're boots. They WILL get gak on them

The grey ones are cool, but I'd rather see them in person first:

Uh-oh... someone's got a pair of purple DMs, haven't they?


@OP - I urge you in the strongest possible terms not to buy grey DMs. They are expensive - you need to make sure they will go with most clothes you own and that you won't get sick of the colour.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076770.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076778.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

They've ripped my heels apart whenever I've worn them even for a short while :( This is the case for most boots though, so YMMV

Though I would echo the calls for black boots if you feel you have to wear boots.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076853.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed
I'm really upset now I could cry! I hate being a neometroskinhead, damn feelings!

I'm wearing my DMs at the moment and they are okay, not the boot that they used to be in my childhood.

Of course now I wear steel toe caps for health and safety reasons and not for what they were made for. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076936.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

Partially true...while a great many White supremacist Skinheads do sport oxblood DMs,they are also very popular with Skinheads in general (the traditional non-racist variety).

Just pointing out that Skinhead/Oxblood DMs doesn't automatically=racist. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2076948.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

Nah, I was never the fashion plate. I was mostly "okay, black jeans, then pick a black shirt and a pair of boots" guy. I knew several of the above folks, though.

Sadly in 2003 they stopped production in the UK and moved it to China and Thailand. So most modern Docs are not quite up to the quality level of George's 20-year-old pair. That said, thankfully three years ago they resumed production of some books in the UK, in their Vintage line. Those are really the ones to get if you want a pair that'll last.

Yeah, I was thinking them over and realized they're ugly as hell They're really shiny, which I don't want at all.

Because it matched the bright red cross that is rather popular with KKK and some Neo Nazi groups. And I shave my head, but Im no racist


I used to own a pair of brown ones some years back. Best boots I ever owned. They were just the gak. Too bad after like 5 or so years they finally fell apart and had to go in the trash. Ive missed them ever since. They do cost alot now, but still you can wear them things for just about ever, so they are easily worth the price tag]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081267.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed
I got them used, but the dude before me was a derp-head and covered them in polish. I had to scrape polish off the heel with my bare fingernail..Ugh, disgusting. But I got it all off and polished them up, and they look great! The leather was perfect underneath all the gunk.

The best part is....I got them for Nine dollars ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081282.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

There's some confusion, My current pair are only 6 years old. My pair from 20 years ago are in the big shoe rack in the sky. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081420.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081420.page GMT Want to buy some Doc Martens...Advice needed

Saved about 111$

I've also heard that the UK-made ones are much better. They sell some 'made-in-UK' ones for another 90$. They're made in China now, which bums me out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325492/2081461.page GMT
