When I read classic docs I was thinking I-dont-remember-how-many-eyelets burgundy rangers : those are connotated docs that remind me of punks/skins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818151 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 04:34:00 +0000 Brooklyn 1818151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me too. That colour is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818097 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 01:40:06 +0000 Nomad 1818097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a keep. That's a classic look, and the color is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818088 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 01:15:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1818088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up from me. I am really liking the variety of Doc Martens looks lately, too, including yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818055 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 23:18:55 +0000 tulle 1818055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that second picture shows the shoes on you, then WOW--buy them! They look completely fab and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818041 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 22:14:37 +0000 lozz_oz 1818041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback - looks like its an unanimous keep + don't wear socks! It was never about the socks (lol) but more I was questioning whether I could revisit the look (I had already done in the early 90's as a mum with young kids!!) again as someone in my mid 50's!!<br />I think its all in the attitude + the teenagers shouldn't have all the fun anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1818032 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:38:49 +0000 The Cat 1818032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fab.

They look great! I know someone pretty young who wears a burgundy pair in the winter with skirts and looks great. I think they won't go out of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817976 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:57:54 +0000 Emily K 1817976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! &nbsp;Just as you are wearing them. &nbsp;Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817974 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:53:21 +0000 jill58 1817974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great--without socks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817966 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:16:10 +0000 Angie 1817966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness.

I would spring for some merino ones, and wear them barefoot. </p> <p>Can you get wooden shoe trees that fit?</p> <p>How is the quality?</p> <p>Nostalgia is a good reason for buying something, as long as it will work hard in your current closet! I wish I'd done Docs back when the quality was consistently excellent. But in school I was already working part time for the company that sponsored my studies, and didn't feel like I could justify purchases of new items that would be strictly casual wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817885 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:11:34 +0000 Suz 1817885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817880 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:06:08 +0000 Anonymous 1817880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes look terrific on your feet. Especially like the way you are wearing them in the photo, without socks and with pants that show the ankle!<br /> I vote "keep"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817868 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:35:28 +0000 Janet 1817868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the newer, less clunky versions. I would wear them! </p> <p>I still have one pair of Docs from maybe 6 years ago --they're not the classic style but a distressed grey combat boot style that's softer and less stompy that the usual Docs. They are ultra-comfortable and I usually wear them for knocking around the ranch, or wearing out to photograph in places I wouldn't wear normal shoes (like junkyards :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817865 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:29:35 +0000 AndiB 1817865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in dove grey from a year or two ago. I like them best with a narrow cropped ankle trouser and a fem top. They are super comfy, I find them to be a nice modern shoe. Also I don't wear them with socks. Def no. Well, not visible socks! But I've cut some mismatched socks off at the arch and we're those often with oxfords like these. Can't see them but add sock comfort </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817817 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 10:32:30 +0000 Bijou 1817817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love them (with and without socks), but then I am a fellow Doc Marten wearer. I think they are a classic and appropriate at any age. I do think it is a bit more grown up to go for something different from the classic black docs, I love the colour of these and think that you are likely to find that they go with a lot of clothing. I hope you enjoy wearing yours as much as I love my boots (in finds below). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817816 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 10:28:51 +0000 Anonymous 1817816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely keep them!!! &nbsp;They are gorgeous on your feet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Unlike <b>Jenni NZ</b>, I hate socks. &nbsp;I would wear them without socks and appreciate how they look on your feet. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817814 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 10:27:31 +0000 Style Fan 1817814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them.&nbsp; But I love Doc Martens.&nbsp; I had quite the collection in the 90s.&nbsp; I would buy another pair if I thought they would be comfortable enough (I have lots of foot problems). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817811 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 09:38:41 +0000 Jenni NZ 1817811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you wear them like that with no socks? I don't think I like that look. If you wore socks I'd like it and I like the style. Although I never owned a pair of Doc Martens. By the 90s when I did wear some clompy boots I was a Mum and they probably felt too teenage for me, I never could do grunge!<br /> Think maybe they look too teenage with no socks? But what do I know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817808 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 09:18:40 +0000 Summer 1817808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look far more refined than the original.&nbsp; If you love them, I would keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817801 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:29:48 +0000 lozz_oz 1817801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes they are Ledonna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817798 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:09:44 +0000 Ledonna N. 1817798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geck yeah its a keep. Very nice updated grownup style. Well done. Are they comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---am-i-just-being-nostalgic#post-1817797 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:06:50 +0000 lozz_oz 1817797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure whether I can still pull off the look of the classic Doc Marten shoe - am I just being nostalgic for the look, the brand, the durability?<br />I like that these are a go with everything pewter colour, and are a more feminine reworking of the iconic style - its been given a more pointed toe + a lower profile.<br />Keep or return? </p>
