floral Dr Martens

[enormouse]

I have always wanted a pair ever since I was tiny and am considering buying a pair now that my old ones are getting a bit past it.

Thoughts on these, please:

Thanks

I prefer the blue ones to the black ones as they aren't so obviously flowery.

The blue ones are lovely

I really love the black/pink pair. I was considering getting some myself, i've worn dms since i was little but i've gone off them a bit seeing all these coltish teenage girls wearing cheap shiny knock offs with see through leggings and crop tops.

I love the black pair, I almost got those myself but went for black velvet ones instead

Do you mean the black velvet ones that are overprinted with a pattern or the plain ones, onelittlelady? I quite like those too. Wish I had the money to buy several pairs at once.

skinheadmermaid I'm the same, I stopped wearing them whilst they had their fashion moment.

Thanks for your opinions
I think I prefer the blue ones too, not as over the top as the black/pink pair. The ones I wanted when I was little were the white ones with multicoloured flowers. Don't think I can get away with those at the age of 24.

Mine are the plain velvet ones enormouse I love them, they are so sturdy and comfortable

Haha enormouse i had white ones with flowers when i was little! I loved them. When i grew out of them i had a snakeskin and a bright yellow pair...that i wore with orange jeans.

They sound lovely, do they have the tag at the back? Does the velvet wear/fade like suede does?

Oh and I like these too,

I need to stop online window shopping!

Funnily enough, I've just been out to do the school pickup, in my brand spanking new pair, which are these ones.

Not the question you asked, I know, but I just wanted to show off my new Docs.

I like the black pair you linked to best.
Whichever you choose, remember to get some plasters, as they take a bit of breaking in.

I'm 33 by the way, & not only do I get away with them, I rock them.

Bloody hell dm's are dear now aren't they

I paid about £45 for mine back in nineteen coughty cough.

Still have them, ive never been able to part with them, although they rarely get worn these days.

Mine are almost exactly the same as yours Wanda

I bought them in sole trader in Manchester at least 20 years ago... I don't rock them any more though, i just look like a tragic old hippy :(

I have a pair that is older than my children

look on amazon for DMs - I just bought DD a flowery fabric pair for £46.99 (v similar to the ones linked in the OP)

go ahead. I love Dr martens and those are fantastic.

Can't wait till DS (22 months) is old enough for his first pair, on a completely unrelated note!

I'm 42 and still wear them (and also rock them ) Don't give up on things you like because of daft things like age! I love those boots lverbut it's completely unfair that they don't make them big enough for me. I'd love a pair of dark purple velvet ones...

are*

I've got the black /pink ones so I'm obviously biased towards these! My lovely friends at work had a collection for my 50th birthday and bought them for me.

Oh, forgot to say - the only pair of Docs I've never had to break in - so comfy!

Couldn't resist linking this btw!

Oh my God they do DD size versions of my new ones.

This is going to end up getting expensive isn't it

I love the ones they did in Liberty print. Still some online.

Mine are wearing like suede enormouse I think they are going to look even better as they age

I want some but what do I wear them with?

auntiemaggie pretty much everything you'd wear ankle boots with. Skinny jeans, leggings, short skirts/shorts with tights, maybe the odd dress. I also like them for dog walking and cold weather.

Thanks for all your advice I'm going to nip into Belfast next week and try on a few pairs so I can see how they look and then buy online. I've decided on the darker blue pair or the velvet ones.
