Well, you all know how I feel about Docs and snow by now, so I won't bore you with the details;-)</p> <p>I love both pairs you picked, Louise. I only discovered last week that they have these in grey now. Verrrry nice! But I could absolutely see you in the purple ones too. Post pics soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-261431 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 21:15:09 +0000 Scarlet 261431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, obviously this subject has been on my mind as well. That cold seeping into your feet through the concrete/pavement is unbearable after a time. Those boots are charming. Let us know how they work out! I wonder if the lace-ups could work on petites... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260780 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 14:07:35 +0000 Louise 260780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The deed is done! Have ordered the two pairs I liked and will make desicion (or not as the case may be) when they arrive, will of course post piccies x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260776 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:43:39 +0000 celia 260776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I've seen Angie's Thanksgiving post I've also been wondering about this.<br /> I guess first thing January I'm going to buy one of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260774 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:35:18 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 260774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, both I think. I browsed the website after your post and was also thinking those lace ups were great. I liked the patent ones thought as I have tall black boots now.</p> <p>Let me know how the sizing is, too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260767 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:13:51 +0000 Louise 260767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're all such enablers. My only problem now is deciding which to get!! there are 2 pairs I love <a href="http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-5422-dr-martens-1b60-boot.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p.....-boot.aspx</a> and <a href="http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-5364-dr-martens-gianna-boot.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p.....-boot.aspx</a> Got to order a 6 and 7 as not sure of sizing and think I may have to order both styles then decide though knowing my luck they will both look great and i'll end up not being able to send either back!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260553 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 23:03:38 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 260553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a pair of Docs is on my wishlist for next year now! (can't really justify another pair of investment boots this year...) I wondered what you were wearing in that post, Angie, and noted the 'weatherproof' description. We're in heavy snow at the moment and I'm wearing v unfab wellies but keeping dry. Louise - go for it on those Docs and I'll enjoy them through you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260498 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 22:15:26 +0000 LeahJanes 260498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Aletta Doc boots and they are great - so versatile and the heel makes them that bit more flattering without sacrificing comfort. They are great in the rain and puddles here in San Francisco. They do run a bit big.</p> <p>I am lusting after a pair of knee high lace-up ones. Might have to put them on the Christmas list. I was such a Docs wearer as a kid so I am loving the resurgence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260486 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 22:03:15 +0000 Angie 260486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, Docs are my go-to snow, ice, slush, sleet and rain boots - as you saw on the snowy Thanksgiving Day post. They have the best traction and insulation. And last forever plus are killer comfy to boot. I'm not a snow boots gal - give me Docs instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260476 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:44:54 +0000 Louise 260476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm lusting after these <a href="http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-5364-dr-martens-gianna-boot.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p.....-boot.aspx</a> am thinking I may just order a 6 &amp; 7 and return the pair which don't fit x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260473 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:41:44 +0000 Mo 260473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sizing was English when I bought mine way back when so I got a 5 for my 7 1/2 US foot. The soles are a good inch, maybe inch and a half. I left them back in CA, so this is from memory as best I can recall! I definitely wore warm thick boot socks with mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260422 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 20:48:18 +0000 Louise 260422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The snow we currently get isn't deep so probably wouldn't go over the depth of the soles. Does the thickness of the soles keep out the cold from underneath? I stand around on a cold playground with the kids after school and can feel the cold creeping through the soles of thin boots and are they true to size? I wonder if thick socks would help? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260421 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 20:44:07 +0000 Mo 260421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The soles are half the reason Docs are special. No problem slipping in snow and ice and they hold up to grease and other things as well. But I don't know that insulation is their stongest point. Depends how long you want to be out trudging in snow, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dr-martens-and-snow-and-ice#post-260417 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 20:24:40 +0000 Louise 260417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are they any good in the snow and ice? I have some thinsulate boots but the soles aren't great and I've skated the whole way home tonight!!! So am half considering a pair of dcs. Are they sturdy on the ice and do they keep your feet warm? </p>
