Sneakers Fetish

Not exactly fresh hot stuff from the oven this season...carried away from a couple of seasons- Dr. Martens is most famous for their line of footwear. You might fondly refer to them as Doc Martens or Docs. You also might recognise them from a mile away thanks to their distinct black laced-up high tops and air-cushioned soles.

Docs never really became a full-blown frenzy, though it did establish itself as an alternate staple for decades to come. It was consistently worn and appreciated by the underground scene, right up to the 1990s when it symbolised grunge.

Much like your standard pair coverse.Docs also played an influential role to the music and fashion scene.

While the traditional Dr. Martens 8-hole boot has endured a long history with strong associations with various subcultures, the iconic boot has seen some new-age transformations over the last few seasons.(above)

My fav of the lot-the punk lookin boots is actually available at somerset 313 for those who are keen.

From really disturbing loud designs to rather subtle basic looking footwear.

Dr. Martens continue to push the envelope of design and creativity ....time to get yours now.

i suggest you consider branching out from the standard black and try an unexpected color or pattern in a style that will work well with your wardrobe:)
