My mum is too girly for Docs although I've been wearing them for 20+ years.We had a nice moment last week though; texted each other simultaneously because Toots & the Maytals version of Monkey Man came on the radio - I was washing up at the time and when I was a kid my mum would wash and I'd dry with her old ska records playing in the background. |

Mark or Ali ?
They're expensive now aren't they.
We used to have to travel to camden to get ours, it's all I used to wear.
My daughter has a couple of pairs, she's a vegan and their range of vegan shoes/boots is ok. |

I have never owned any Dr Martens because they were too boyish for me.
But they do all sorts now and I've seen some Mary Jane Dr Martens shoes with spots on that look really cute. Im thinking of buying them for cycling  |

I was the first of my mates to have 10 hole DMs. That was when 10 holes were the ultimate
I have a pair of green pigskin ones at the moment that I have had about 15 years. I had a pair of brogues too |

I only had the very small DMs, were they called "monkey boots"?. I used to love seeing skinheads in oxblood 13 holers, white stay press, a Fred Perry and black Harrington.
Going to have to listen to some ska now!!! |

That's exactly how I dressed. Loved those days. |

when they still made DM's in town 20 odd years ago, I was lucky enough to get a pair for a tenner from a friend who worked there 
wouldn't pay shop prices now though, much as I still love 'em. |

I wanted a pair of DM's for my 13th birthday, but my parents said I couldn't have them, because they were for boys.
On the day I woke up to find a pair, but they were black, and I wanted the ones with Smarties on them.
I was disappointed for all of about 5 minutes, until it sunk it that I actually had a pair of DM's!!! |

Got a pair of 10 hole cherry red boots and a pair of oxblood mohair brothel creepers. They were the first DM shoes I've ever brought but I've always owned at least one pair of boots (black or oxblood) since my teens |

The English made ones are worth a lot more than the new ones made in Vietnam  |

Even bAck in the day, my mates 10 hole ox blood DM's were totally different to mine. His leather was softer and the soles looked "different" somehow.
Anyone remember major Domo's? A Dr Martens copy |

"I have some steel toe capped DMs for work"
Which is the only reason people should wear them. Put them with the Ugg boots in the shouldn't be allowed shoe box |

Had a fuchsia pink pair for a while, loved them!
Buffalos were the trend during my teens though, a friend found hers the other week and posted a pic on bookface, the nineties and my mid-teens came flooding back! |

Often feel a little jealous of people who have nice childhood memories. Cant say my childhood was like that. Neither was Emilys so its a pain we share and have made sure our kids will never feel |
