Dr Martens for 19 yr old dd

[LionLily]

At the risk of sounding like a right old fart, what Dr Martens do the young people wear?
I am so not a Dr Martens type of person but would like to get dd, who is 19, a pair for Xmas. But which 'model' to get.....

The classic ones are 1460's. My DD who is 17 has these.

The classics my dds have coloured/sparkly and black pairs, go to SHUH online they have great collections.

DS wears the pull on ones, no laces. He has to wear thick socks or they rub his skinny ankles. He’d have been better off with the lace up ones.

They last forever my eldest got her first pair at 16 she is nearly 28 and still wears them .

The 1461 show types are nice too

My teen has the Chelsea slip ons.

Thank you all, I'll be busy browsing now xx

My 22 year old DD is desperate for the classic 1461.

If she’s a 5 or smaller, you can get youth ones which have a zip up the inside, making getting them on and off MUCH easier-also half price!

The youth go up to a 5.5 actually and they are generous! I have the pink patent and the black fleece lined.

My DD got her first shoes when she was about 12.
Her fascination and devotion led to her having to choose which of her 20 odd pairs to take to university.
Quite a few came from the outlet shop and, as she’s a size 3 she managed to get a number of children’s pairs

I got dms last year, first pair since I was about 20 ( over 20 years ago!!) and it seems the sizes are bigger...? Maybe it was the style but I used to buy a 5 and these size 5s are a bit loose so I need thick socks.

1460s. Get the Pascal leather which lovely and soft unlike the smooth which takes months to break in. I also think they look slightly more feminine if that's of any importance as they are neater around the ankle.

My 19 yr old DD has been wearing her Vegan DM boots for 2 years, & nothing else (briefly wore other shoes for prom nights & a job interview).

She has a black pair but rings the changes with different laces.

The Vegan pair have got holes in the sole. This may be due to her slightly unusual gait & flat feet. The DM shop kindly gave her a discount on a new pair as she'd lost her lifetime warranty.

Leonore ❤ absolutely love them. I have 2 pairs and they don't need breaking in.

@Mrsjayy I'm still wearing a 25 year old pair!!

@yellredder I can beat that - I still wear the pair I got for my 12th birthday.

Will be 42 (how did that happen??) soon 😀

Oh the daughters boots are practically brand new

@IronyFreeAnnie - oh wow! That's amazing! Fully expecting mine to keep going for years to come!

Please ask her even if it is in a roundabout way. They last for ever as people say and the wrong ones will be such a disappointment.
