Out of snow bound boredom - been looking at DM's. Bloody hell they are expensive nowFor years I have believed that Dr. Martens (DMs) were worn by beatniks and punks.
Now in my (relatively) early 70's, I now own 6 pairs. I buy them, mostly off eBay, half a size above my normal shoes and they are amazingly comfortable, sturdy and cope with my bunions with no probs.
I should add that my wife, a tad younger, has 4 pairs of DM boots
Has anyone else suffered shoe regression?

Oh yes, Hi-Tec Magnum's and the like..Yeah Glen, becoming a fashion statement made a big difference in price from when virtually every beat cop in our division wore a highly bulled pair of D.M.s. Nowadays of course most of our local cops are wearing " tactical " type combat style boots which look as if they were polished with a lukewarm Mars bar !

I have a pair of Merrell hikers, bought from George Fisher in Keswick, great boots.
I used to wear Dr Martin boots when I was a youth but now I much prefer Lowa combat boot's as favored by the police and serving squaddies when in the thick of it but as JohnnyO has said they don't take a Polish like the DMs did!P.
Gosh, George Fisher - are you independently wealthy? ;-)
