Am I too old for yellow doc marten shoes?

[ladybirdsaidneveraword]

I'm 38, size 18 and knackered. Am I too old and fat to wear yellow doc marten shoes? Maybe with cropped jeans?

What's your beef with DMs Dog?

Sounds personal.

I live near the factory outlet in Wollaston...I have a lot of DMs.

Too old for a style of shoe!!! Pah!

I like the wanderlust ones and am considering it. Also large and old!

I'm 52 and have 3 pairs of DMs, they are the most comfortable footwear I have ever had and I'm planning to wear them to my daughter's wedding 🙂

I have rainbow glitter ones!!! My year 2 class think they are fab!

Yellow or red DMs are too clown like. Especially paired with crop jeans!! Eek!

I’m 57 and have a pair of pink DMs and I always get compliments on them.

@stilllearnin, what is the outlet like? I've often been tempted to go but it's an hour and a half from me, so not sure if it's worth it. Does it have really good bargains and unusual styles?

Love DMs. Have three pairs and live in them.

I am 36 and just bought the black glitter ones. They are very glittery and gorgeous.

You are not too old.

Hmmm it is hit and miss and they’ve started introducing more expensive stuff - where it was once £25 for shoes, £30 for boots!!! You can still get them at that price.

Plenty of unusual styles- more that than standard cherry reds etc. They’re really helpful and you can call ahead to ask what’s available in your size.

I’m due a sort out maybe this weekend- shall I photo all my current dm’s?? (left some at my ex’s )

There's no such thing as being too old to wear something. Go for it.

Dds friends Dad laughed outright at my white ones. However, this made me want to wear them more.

Are you still alive? Then you're not too old.

No problem with dms. Its the yellow that's not sitting well with me.

I'm 45. I've had a pair DMs in my wardrobe since I was 16.
I love them once they're worn in!

I'm 36 and have the purple glittery ones. They're amazing! Not at all chic but also not at all boring.

Thank you @stilllearnin! Might plan an Easter outing. :)
