To wear doc Martens?

[Christmaspanic24]

I'm 37, a mum of 3 with a profession job.
I've just bought a pair of the patent black 8 eye.

Is it a bit tragic, mutton dressed as lamb? Or fashionable freedom?
YABU - mutton dressed as lamb
YaNBU - go for it

Yanbu- and fuck the haters 😎

I’m also 37 and have worn DMs for 25 years. I see no reason to stop. In fact, I’ve been wearing them this week as it’s been raining and I’ve had lovely dry feet

YANBU I rock my patent red 8 holes on the school run most days and get complimented on them quite often. I'm 33 and they match my hair.

I've worn DMs since I was 14 and I'm 39 now. Both shoes and boots, it's a style classic and the opposite of mutton dressed as lamb.

I'm 46, just got myself a banging pair of thick-soled silver glitter ones. You crack on girl.

Amazing! Just what I wanted to hear!

I first wore DMs when I was 14 too, had a pair of cherry red beauties!

My 55 year old mother wears DMs most days! I would too if I could afford them 😂

Wear them!! They're so incredibly comfortable, go with most outfits and they last for years. I love wearing my black pair at the weekend when it's chilly and I save my glittery rainbow pair for dancing

I love DM's, go for it and ignore comments from others. Although beware that DM's are the kind of shoe that are softened only by the blood and tears of the wearer

Don’t be daft.

I still wear mine occasionally, I bought them years ago. Well, decades to be precise.

I love my dms

Got my first pair at 40

I’m
More tragic than you!!

What's with all the worries people have over what they wear, worryingly about their age and whether something will look too young for them. You wear what you want I am 44 and wear docs, new rocks, irregular choice and any other shoes I like. Same for clothes, I'm always gothed up. So long as what I wear suits me it's fine. So yanbu.

YANBU. I got my first pair laat year. I'm 30 next year. I'm a complete convert, they're amazing and while they are popular amongst the yoof, I think they look fine on most people. Have seen people in their 50s and 60s wear them and I don't think much of it.

Sorry that sounds like I'm judging them negatively. I mean I don't think anything of seeing older people in DMs

She doesn't look too old to be wearing doc martens, not even at the age of 80

I just bought a pair and I'm a 38 year old mum of two, I love them! I'm also in a professional job and I plan on wearing them with dresses and opaque tights. Last time I had DMs was nearly 25 years ago!

YABU because Solovair (who made the docs until the mid 90's) are even better

Solovair boots have replacement soles, and their soles seem to last longer too.

I did love docs until I got some solovair ones, though.

I'm 51, a mum and a professional woman and I wear doc martens. They are nice and comfortable.

I have far too many pairs of docs. I wear them. I'm almost 61.

I got some when I was 40. I was an Early Years teacher and outside a lot, they completely stopped me getting chilblains.

I don't think they're suitable for all occasions, and I steer clear of them, at 56 because I think they can make certain body types (mine!) look a bit butch and 'try hard'; but if someone feels they can carry it off, and feel good about themselves, go for it I say!

I’m 49 and have 14 holers, sandals and three pairs of shoes.

I'm 10 years older and have 4 pairs of DMs! If I have to be middle aged in sensible shoes, then they're going to be bad ass sensible shoes!

I have 8 pairs (I'm 29) and I will be wearing them forever! YANBU.

I’m 50 and I have 5 pairs 🙂 my teenagers regularly steal mine as we have the same size feet 🙂
