Aww thanks guys, I am so glad I jumped on the bandwagon that other forum members such as Marianne, Laura, Tanya and Lena started with these boots. They are incredibly comfy!!!

Marianne I would love to see more pics of yours!!!

Eve I will try to post more pics as I wear them more often. I only have 3 more days of 5:30am starts so I should have more time in the mornings from now on - woohoo!!

R+J they are super comfy so I hope you are inspired to get a pair. I don't know if the silvery leather is softer than usual, but I had no problems with these being uncomfy at first. However I have a pair of cherry red 8 hole docs I bought several years ago that I distinctly remember having to break in before they were comfy. All same size so I don't know what the change is!

Hanna I don't know if they will go for everyday at work, but Fridays tend to be a bit more casual than every other day, so Fridays for sure. Maybe even this Friday!!!

Niva are you considering getting a pair too? :)

And Kristen it was a big step for me wearing them to work too. And mayb it was all in my mind since no-one said a thing? Oh well, another hurdle crossed thanks to ylf!!!

NICE. I love seeing those 20-eye silver Docs being worn around the forum, and I love that you wore them to work!

I found this look inspiring. I will take the view from my window one day then you will see my predicament. The area around here is so hilly and yet I work in a semi formal office environment, this could be the perfect solution.

I was thinking about a flat knee length riding boot but I think they would look too twee with the clothes I am hoping to purchase.

Out of curiosity where the Docs comfortable to begin with or did they take alot of breaking in?

Big thumbs up--you look great! Now I'm thinking about treating myself to a pair of silver Docs for my birthday this year. :) I hope you post pictures of your outfit next time you wear them.

You look great, Tam! I like the neutrals. I felt very self-conscious about my docs in the beginning, but taking pictures helped - in the photos they didn't look very pronounced at all. Glad you like them, they are so comfy!

Thanks San and Anne! I am def. going to wear these to work again after they worked so well first time!!!

Lovely Tam, looks quite classic!

I love the way you kept it all neutral so as to help you ease into wearing the docs to work. I think the all neutral theme makes it so totally appropriate for work and you are a genius to think of it!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you guys think this looked ok for work. M2Thea I am sorry you can't get flickr working - I don't know what to suggest other than the ideas that were already sent - doh!!!!

Despite desperate attempts to get it working I still can't view flickr. I am gutted to be missing your posts as going on other peoples comments you have got fab style and it would be good to see some of these "without fear" outfits!

I love your style. You make everything look so hip and edgy! Makes me want a pair of Docs--just don't think I could pull 'em off. Nice job!

Wow! You totally crushed the challenge. Fantastic.

Well I squeezed this challenge into the last day of the week!! Took me until Friday to get my courage up!!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3822100264/

Its hard to tell because of bad lighting, but the dress is dark brown, with black belt and cardie, and the silver docs. I tried to keep it all dark and neutral since I didn't want to stand out too much in these boots. Next time (yes there will be one!!) I will go for something more fun.

These boots are so comfy - I love them!!
