It was only a couple of days ago, that I received the most delightful early Christmas gift. My car was not running right, the snow was coming down really hard and my mother was demanding that I come over to her house. What was a girl to do? So I tromp through the snow and arrive at her home cold, wet and fuming with displeasure. I enter the house and was immediatly greeted by my mom and told that I was to open my Christmas gift now. I look at it cautiously and began to open the odd box. SURPRISE!!!!!! There inside was a beautiful brand new pair of 1460 black 8 eye greasies just for me. I put them on immediatly as tears of joy were streaming down my face. As I left her house (after thanking her a million times) I stomped through the snow gleefully and smiled as my car chugged along to my home. I have barely taken them off since and grin as every morn I face more and more snow. THANK YOU Dr. Martens and Thanks to my mom!

I bought my first pair of docs when i was fifteen Cherry red ten eyelet boots.Thirty years later i can honestly tell you they are by far the best boots in the world.
i have travelled the world and always with my doc martins.
I work as i Warehouse Manager so my ten hole Vintage boots go nicely with my jeans or corgo pants.
I look after them and many people have comented on how well thay look.
I am now on my sixted pair.

Had my first used 1940s with speed laces in college and never skipped a beat wearing them daily through those Fargo winters. Wore them til the day they died, may the good Lord rest their soles. I spent little time grieving and immediately picked up a replacement 1460s. Fall has quickly become my favorite season knowing that the sandals come off and the docs go on for the next 9 months. They don't leave my feet. When I'm snow blowing and shoveling. They are there. When I'm in the office, they fit snugly under my suit. They are at the club when we hit a show and they greet me at the door each and every morning. Durable? Two full Minnesota winters and still fully conditioned for a suit and the boardroom meetings immediately after a digging out of the driveway so I can get to the office. I don't own my docs, my docs own me.

Today I woke up just like every other day. It was raining today. Stinging rain like machine gun bullets on my face. I brushed my teeth but skipped the shower I was running late. Like I said it was just like any other day. I got to work, Hung at the water cooler and talked trash about politics, what was on the tv last night, and my boss. Its amazing how poeple can get promoted on how many donuts they can eat by 11am. Anyway, I sat in my glass cell office with no window and prceeded to look busy. For essentially 12 hrs. I caught the bus home (I opted out buying the 60 mile per gallon go cart) and headed home. I flopped on my green couch without even taking off my tie first and proceeded to play a few bars of pearl jam on my fender, I was getting pumped up to go out and knock down a few brews until i had beer googles. It was Friday night and my friends and I knew it. I put my vintage who shirt on, My way overpriced pair of blue jeans, and yes my doc Martens. the original 1460 black 8 eyelet boots That i have worn now for 16 years! Yeah you heard me 16 years. They were my getaway, my home, my apple pie sort a speak. The soles were smooth like ice they are so worn in. In a nutshell that what dr martens mean to me. Salvation from everyday. I live , I talk , i breathe, touch , taste , feel and walk in these boots. Bouncing soles and my bouncing mind. Break free and roam !

i have had my Doc's for almost 8 years now and i have loved them the whole time. i made the purchase when i was just a sophomore in high school and now, almost ready to graduate college they are still holding strong. i used them for everything from dressing up to go out for a night on the town to working on the farm or in the creek.
these are by far the best boot and the best shoe i have ever owned and i can count on them to be around for another 8 years
