I am craving purple Dr Martens. Should I just consider it a hormonal episode and ride it out or embrace the need for clumpiness?

[CreviceImp]

I am 40. I want patent spectra ones or cherry reds.

Do I need to have a word with myself?

Embrace it. But buy some double layer running socks to wear in them

here

Go for it - I'm older than you and they are on my Christmas list.

As a teenager I lived in my DMs and in the past 5 years I have re-embraced my love for them

I'm 41. Gave in to my purple Doc Marten cravings a while back and love thrm.

Oh they're amazing!

You have to buy them!

I think cherry easier to wear than purple.

Dd has the purple ones they are lovely she wears them a lot fwiw she isnt a teenager she is fully grown just get them i prefer them to cherry

I wear a lot of black and purple......

I blame all that indie stuff on Bbc4 of late.

It's the 1990's in my head now.

Feck me it'll be daisy headbands next if I'm not careful.

Oh, they're lovely! Never too old for DMs.

Although I do like the 1914 cherry reds..... And they're completely different after all....

CreviceImp - I have £100 in birthday money and I keep thinking about buying purple DMs with it. But I just can't quite decide. It is nearly my birthday again. If you go for it, please come back and tell me how amazing they are.

Oh I miss mine I have no idea what happened to them, wore them everyday for years but can't remember where they ended up.

I am craving a pair of pale grey nubuck ones...

I would adore a pair of purple DMs. Unfortunately my feet are size 10 and they don't do them in that size

Go for it.

My teenage son has just given me side-eye when I sought his view over this great and weighty matter.

Splendid. Off to order.

He wears fat trainers and snap caps so if he thinks they're rank I work on the principle it's all good

Will report back Pers if I don't look an utter tit

They are gorgeous. I bought a lovely silk shirt dress recently that would look fabulous with them. And I've got a few years on you

I think this year is the year of purple (and white and green, guess what film I saw at the weekend)

I have grey, yellow, baby pink, hot pink and pewter doc martens and I still want a purple pair, because that's what I had in my youth.

Ive walking problems i find the boots to clumpy for me i trip i have Dm shoes just in boring black though i have had them years

Go for it! I'll be 37 soon and am currently breaking in these!

I just bought beautiful silver grey ones. Used to live in coloured ones and have not coped with footwear well since I thought I was too old.

I am so happy now. All my winter footwear issues are solved.

Do it! DM boots are never out of style.

Despite my efforts I can never ever look right when wearing these Recently charity shopped a hardly worn pair of the cherry red ones, someone had a good find that day. Dh bought me a pair of brown ones I was after, I still haven't worn them!

I had the black ones with flowers all over them, now I have the brick red ones. I'm 48.

I'm 48 and have three pairs of DMs at the moment. Would totally buy the purple ones if I could justify them.

you cant go wrong with DMs. Those purple ones are lovely, and will be good waterproof and snowproof winter boots
