I love both ShoeBuy and Zappos for their ease of returns. Hope they turn out to be all you are looking for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-230894 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:11:48 +0000 Vani 230894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lena, Patience thanks so much! I ended up ordering the regular 1914 style from Shoebuy with their 20% off sale price Columbus day coupon. I decided to ditch the 1B99 style since DH thought with my skinny ankles I might get better "lace control" :)</p> <p>I can't wait for them to arrive. Of course, I will be posting soon for advice on how to break into them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-227709 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:52:12 +0000 Patience 227709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, you've probably covered everything on the web for the style you are looking for, but I got mine at shoebuy.com. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-227698 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:35:43 +0000 Lena 227698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, that's so great you're thinking about getting the Docs! They are SO comfortable, it's like walking on pillows. And they are very sturdy. I got mine from Zappos, btw.</p> <p>As far as differences in styles, I think there's a subcategory that has a lifetime guarantee. Model selection however is very limited, and I don't think they have the model you're after. </p> <p>I hope you find a way to get them and we can see you wearing them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-227166 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:57:21 +0000 Vani 227166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, thanks! I always forget about Amazon. But I can't find a non-patent black pair :(</p> <p>Srujana, the wait is killing me! It's still a little too warm for boots too so I won't be able to war them atleast for another month.</p> <p>Khris, that's a great idea, thanks! I don't know of any local stores but I've asked around and got information about army surplus stores.</p> <p>Megan, that is a KILLER deal! Did we see you wearing them yet?</p> <p>Angie, that was the first place I looked! All in all it seems like the 1B99 zipper 14 eyelet boots in Black Buttero is not available online or in any well known retail stores.<br /> I have no problems purchasing from the DrMarten's online store, I guess I would just like the ability to return easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226963 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:43:27 +0000 Angie 226963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought mine at Zappos - of course :)</p> <p>As far as I can remember, having seen my Docs in several countries around the world - they all look identical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226888 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:07:31 +0000 Megan 226888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got mine at 6pm.com for a total deal...they were the last pair and $45 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226693 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:45:35 +0000 chewyspaghetti 226693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Punk/goth independent stores often carry them- that's where I got mine (back in the day). Do you have any funky clothing stores near a college? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226687 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:40:31 +0000 Srujana 226687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help as to where to buy, since I don't own a pair. But I just wanted to say that I'm eager to see you sporting them. Its a trend that my eyes have yet to adjust to, but I can't wait to see yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226684 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:36:00 +0000 Inge 226684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh can't wait to see you sport the Dr. Martens, Vani!</p> <p>I found mine on Amazon.com and Patience was so kind to have them shipped to me. I did a search for Buttero on Amazon and got nothing, but when I typed in 1B99, I got these results:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_scat_679380011_ln?rh=n%3A679380011%2Ck%3A1B99&#038;keywords=1B99&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1286296477&#038;scn=679380011&#038;h=1b86b28140e8de50d7e15ec0d43572fc55847f7e" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/searc.....fc55847f7e</a></p> <p>Not really sure about the difference in style (UK vs US) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-docs-question-where-did-you-buy-yours#post-226588 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 13:56:41 +0000 Vani 226588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been coveting and lusting after docs for well over a year, eve since I discovered them thanks to <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/07/11/revealing-my-inner-punk-rocker/">this</a> blog post by Angie. I tried to branch out to other styles to check if it was just a passing phase but I always find myself thinking that I'd rather hold off and invest in docs. So, now, I am more ready than ever to take the plunge. </p> <p>I've looked all over the internet and there don't seem to be too many retailers offering a good variety of docs and none that sell the style I've settled on - <a href="http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3013-1b99.aspx">1B99 Black Buttero</a>. The Dr Martens USA site offers free shipping but I'd have to pay for free returns. Ideally, I would like to try on a few pairs but I think there is only one store in Tampa (other than uniform and army surplus stores) that stock docs - Journeys. I am going to try to make it to the store sometime this week but I was wondering if anybody has other suggestions?</p> <p>Also, is it just the pictures or is there really a difference in the US and <a href="http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-5010-dr-martens-1b99-boot.aspx">UK</a> versions of this style?</p> <p>Thank you for your time! </p>
