With DM boots?

I think they are so ugly & chunky. Every time I see them on I think to myself, why would anyone buy them?! They are really masculine looking.

@youcanthandlethetruth

I don’t go shopping in heels, so I guess that doesn’t make me stupid Hmm I wear trainers. No need for heels and no need for big clumpy boots
I also wear New Rock boots. Chunky as fuck. Your head would explode.
AsYouWishButtercup · 16/01/2022 20:22

YANBU they’re so ugly. I don’t mind a pair of masculine shoes but why does masculine have to = hideous and overpriced

HPLikecraft · 16/01/2022 20:22

I have a purple pair. I like them, I’m not obsessed with them.

I love DMs and all chunky footwear.
Heels are ridiculous and look it. They are comedy shoes at best.
But each to their own.

Whatwouldscullydo · 16/01/2022 20:24

Least you don't deform.your feet in DMs unlike heels.

If you wanna find a pair of heels that fit my size 8 flippers go ahead. I'll stick to trainers amd dms. Least u can actually wallk on those. And run.

Ooh theyre amazing. I dont think they look masculine at all. Mens ones dont have platforms.

Imagine everyone liking the same clothes eh?

XenoBitch · 16/01/2022 20:25

So "masculine"

I'd rather trainers and DM's any day over heels. I hardly ever wear heels, at work is the only time. And I still wear my boots there in winter 😂

PaperMonster · 16/01/2022 20:26

I love my DMs. They are gorgeous. I’ve been wearing them for over 30 years and my oldest are about 25 years old. I get lots of positive comments about them, often from strangers as they are so gorgeous.

HPLikecraft · 16/01/2022 20:26

Just no

You do know that no one’s forcing you to wear them?

SusanSHelit · 16/01/2022 20:26

I am under 5ft and you won't catch me dead in heels. Bloody awful things. Pinchy, painful, slow you right down.

Dms on the hand I can wear with basically anything, they are hard wearing, comfortable, fit with my style and I can run in them if I have to.

Plus they are waterproof. I live in the north. This is an advantage that is almost impossible to stress enough. I really like not having wet feet. I don't really like wellies.

Luredbyapomegranate · 16/01/2022 20:26

@youcanthandlethetruth

Actually, yes.

Sorry it’s just my opinion on them

Have you heard of ‘different tastes’ OP

A lot of people would say that heels in daytime look old fashioned and naff, not to mention trussing one up like a 🦃. But it doesn’t mean you are wrong to like them.

TheVolturi · 16/01/2022 20:27

I really really want some dms!

youcanthandlethetruth · 16/01/2022 20:27

People can’t seriously wear these

@LrainIsGone

OMG we don’t want them women folk to wear masculine shoes do we? Next thing you know the delicate little ladies will be wearing trousers!
Don't tell the church elders 🤣
MsWalterMitty · 16/01/2022 20:27

You example OP are a bit over the top for me. But I love the brown fur lined ones!

Comedycook · 16/01/2022 20:28

I agree op. They seem so popular and it's baffles me. I wouldn't wear them if you paid me

Cas112 · 16/01/2022 20:28

Your question is subjective.

shivabeaver · 16/01/2022 20:29

I just resent everyone who wears them as I have never been able to break a pair in, they just destroy my heels despite all the tips and tricks. I love clumpy shoes, always have.

tigger1001 · 16/01/2022 20:29

I was looking at dms today. Sadly they didn't have my size in the ones I like.

Comfy and long lasting. Whilst I do also wear trainers, trainers hurt my feet. So don't wear them for long periods.

Different people like different things. And that's ok.

OldaRailer · 16/01/2022 20:29

They used the be very well made and durable.

Whatwouldscullydo · 16/01/2022 20:30

Id not only wear those you

I own a pair of new rocks too!

XenoBitch · 16/01/2022 20:30

I think starting a thread about DMs on MN, and then finding pictures of them is rather telling as to who is the one who has the obsession.
