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.
Pelayo rawking Dr. Martens..
dakota fanning(one of pierre's fav child actress) and pixie lott

agyness deyn -this it gal makes everything looks fun and she seriously loves her docs..

lemme show u how much..




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:)

OK, I know I shouldn't be negative BUT Doc Martens shoes to me look like a Rx for hot, sweaty feet! I think the Doc must be in cahoots with the folks who sell athlete's foot medicine. The only exception is the pair you say is your favorite, which allows ample ventilation. Whew! Combine those with a pair of soccer socks and you could have something stylish that would also let your skin breathe.

But I must admit a lot of them are interesting to look at, which I guess is the point, eh? And speaking of looks, you won't be surprised to hear that my favorite look is the one in the first photo of Pelayo, who seems to be saying: "My shoes are soo hawt that I don't need clothes, but my boxers are soo cool that I kept them on."

You stay cool, too, you hot lad in sunny S'pore!
