Read about that lol I'm suffering just by thinking about it because I have sensitive, fussy feet to begin with ;_; Btw, those are gorgeous!!!!!! OMG now I want them!</p> <p>Andrea, I got them in their store (so, Dr Martens store) in Covent Garden. It's a super new style so they don't have it on their website yet but I am sure it will come up soon enough!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1346088 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 14:23:12 +0000 Andrea W 1346088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flippin' heck - they're awesome. &nbsp;I love the pattern on those bad boys. &nbsp;I vote you keep and I can't wait to see the outfits you come up with.<br />BTW - Can I ask where you got them from and what the style name is as I'd like to look into them myself?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1346060 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 13:46:25 +0000 VernieJane 1346060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first pair of Docs! Just a bit of warning: they might be uncomfortable at first until they are really worn in. They will last forever, but sometimes they can be painful for the first few weeks and you'll go through bandaids and other foot pad types of things </p> <p>The pattern is so subtle that they wouldn't clash with patterns. Without enlarging the photos, we can't even see the pattern. I think they would look cute with just about anything. I do love some of <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Dr-Martens-b76.phphttp://" rel="nofollow">the new models Dr Martens has come out with this season</a>, with metallic and floral and the like... </p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1345992 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 11:09:44 +0000 Astrid 1345992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome docs!

Can't photograph an outfit right now, but I found some Jessica Alba inspiration.<br />Apparently she loves her boots!</p> <p>vengenz, I LOVE taller styles!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1345187 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:52:53 +0000 viva 1345187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are <b>beautiful</b>. I've never seen docs that look like that and I really love them. They pattern is so subtle I can't imagine it clashing with anything. LOVE them, Irene.

I loved the blue boots that you didn't keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1344929 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:55:12 +0000 Dixie 1344929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Dr. Martens and I love yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1344900 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:34:05 +0000 DonnaF 1344900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; Glad you said the boots are oxblood as they look very brown on my screen.&nbsp; The pattern looks so subtle that I can't imagine that it would clash (in a bad way).&nbsp; If you wanted to go thru a bit of effort, I suppose you could change up the laces now and then.&nbsp; I must confess, however, that I bought various ribbons/laces for some shoes that had only one or two sets of holes, and I think I changed the laces maybe once.</p> <p>I've always wanted to try Docs. . .Why don't you style them for us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-pair-of-dr-martens#post-1344763 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 22:53:08 +0000 Irene 1344763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if you guys will remember that about a year ago I got a pair of black combat boots (not Docs):&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/look-whos-finally-here">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nally-here</a><br />Well, I've worn them to (their) death. I mean, they are still wearable, but don't look that pretty anymore. At all.</p> <p>So, since I am living in London I thought I might as well look into the iconic Dr Martens (I really need a durable shoe, seriously).</p> <p>They are not brown, but more like an oxblood color. I loved them at first sight, but just like I always do, I am now having second thoughts!&nbsp;<br />I find them so pretty, but now I'm like: is the pattern going to clash with other patterns? Aren't these too punky for me? (they do have roses printed over the ankles, and a cross behind the heel, which I didn't notice in the beginning...).</p> <p>&nbsp;I like them because they look quite unique, not as 'Dr Martens' as other styles, but are subtle at the same time (I was going for metallic ones in the beginning lol). I think they could look great with any pair of jeans and any top (patterned tops for winter are earthy toned florals so I think I could get away with that), but patterned dresses are another story. But then again, I do have other shoes for patterned dresses, and it's not like combat shoes are the best choice for a dress, anyways!</p> <p>I have worn them around the house for like 10 minutes but they already have wrinkles over the toes (which means they are easy to break in, I suppose). I hope I could still exchange them, but can't be sure...</p>
