Dr. Martens fans check in

[LynneSin]

I love these shoes. I still have my first pair that I bought back in the mid 90s and they still fit well and are great to wear when I know I'll be doing alot of standing and walking.

I needed a pair of all black shoes I can wear when I work my volunteer job as an usher so just bought my 3rd pair. I love these things - they fit so well!!

Sure I'll spend $100 + on these shoes but I know that these are shoes that I will have for years, maybe even decades.

1. Love Doc Martin--Dr. Martens

not so much.... (bad ankle can't tolerate weighty shoes)

But, the big-earred one with the very dry wit, yup love him....

4. I love him, too. He tries so hard to be unlovable that it's cute….

Did you see Claire Bloom play his mother? My God, I thought my tv was going to freeze over!

2. Love 'em!

I own about six pairs. Including a pair of brown low-top Oxfords, which I'm wearing right now. Great for a busy day in clinic. I've worn this pair 6 or 7 times a month for about 13 years. Still in great shape. Only changed the laces once. These things are incredible.

3. I think I like them.

I got my first-ever pair this winter because I was tired of "winter" boots that leaked or hurt my feet or wore out in half a season. They took a few weeks to break in, and the fit is not much better than any other boot I've worn, but they've been working out pretty well. If I still wear them three years from now, then I'll know if I'm a "fan".

Mine are the standard, leather, 8-eyelet sort.

6. got my first in 1976...oxbloods in the UK, if you punctured them they recommended using

a hot knife to seal the puncture, they don't give that advice anymore
