To not understand the obsession

[youcanthandlethetruth]

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.

YABVU. I love mine. They last forever.

But I’ve been kind of on lockdown for the past 10 years due to illness. So could be why the red DMs ended up in absolute tatters, back then I was out and about more. Wore them into the ground!

I reckon OP works for Docs and is trying to drum up traffic to the website.

I don't care for them. But it's easy enough to understand why people do - because different people like different things. I would have thought that was obvious, but perhaps not...

Like I said, it’s just my opinion. We are all entitled to an opinion

Apparently I’m being a “knob cheese” though, so off I trot (in my 6 inch heels ) goodnight

So people are responding to your opinion, so what?

Or are you the only one entitled to one?

I love them. I have a few pairs. Love them. My fave are the fur lined Chelsea.

I live in trainers & agree they’re masculine looking! But most of the people I know who wear them have great fashion sense so it must just be us on this one!

I reckon OP works for Docs and is trying to drum up traffic to the website.

If not, then OP is definitely one of the 20% who voted that dinosaur jumpers are unreasonable and adult clothes should all be navy blue on my earlier thread.

I have a wide selection of DMs. I am on my feet all day and I match them with whatever I am wearing. I never have to replace them because they last. Donated all my other non DM boots and wear DM shoes and sandals when it is too warm for boots.(which isn't often given where I live!)

If you don't like them then don't buy them

Personally, I love them. They are the comfiest, cosiet and most practical footwear I have ever owned and I love how they look.

I’ve never noticed them being a thing or an obsession.
I wore them in the 90s but I’ve not had any since then.

I don’t really care that much about other people’s choices of shoes.

Like I said, it’s just my opinion. We are all entitled to an opinion

But who asked for your opinion?!

I blame the song by Alexei Sayle myself

Why is "masculine looking" a problem?

Don't buy or wear them op.

I personally can't stand heels. And watching people try and walk in them makes me laugh sometimes.

I love my DMs. And mine are a size 9 so extra big and clumpy. In fact, I think they're actually men's

My mum bought my DD10 a pair for her birthday. She wears them with A line dresses and thick tights and looks bloody brilliant in them. YABVU!

If you love DMs but you’re disappointed by the downturn in quality, check out Solovair, the original UK manufacturers.

I’ve got a pair of DM boots WITH 6 inch heels.

@youcanthandlethetruth

People can’t seriously wear these

Why? What's wrong with them? I've had a pair of converse for Xmas with an extra chunky sole.

I get what you’re saying here, I wouldn’t wear them personally they do look big and ugly buuuut they do seem to suit lots of people, so not my style but certainly don’t think others look weird in them.

Good call @Fe2O3Girl

I’ve got a pair of UK made DMs that are pretty good. They should be at the price I paid but they are wearing well.

Ha ha " brain cannot compute" 🤯

I'm 5 ft 7 I don't need height but I'm a bit jealous now

@ShinyMe

These are my gold ones. I think mumsnet actually persuaded me to buy them a couple of years ago when I was dithering, and I love them.

Ooooo what do you wear those with?

I'm not brave enough to wear anything other than white or black on my feet.

I agree OP I think they're awful but I have smallish very slim feet which would just rattle around in those big clodhoppers.

I need to see these.
