There are boots that serve a simple function and only that function. These are the sort of boots your grandpa may have worn to work in a factory or in a mine. Those boots were well respected and sturdy, but if you saw them again today you probably would not be in a hurry to put them on and head out to your local disco, showing off your amazing sense of style. The style of one’s boot is a complicated decision; there are many implications that can be taken from the design of someone’s treasured pair of boots. For example, a simple black pair of Doc Martens shows that the owner has both financial wherewithal and a simplistic side. These are the sort of boots that communicate a sense of humility, while still acknowledging that the owner is one of the haves rather than one of the have nots. Even if they are one of the have nots, simply owning these shoes instills a great sense of confidence that they may not have otherwise possessed.
This sense of confidence and allure is exactly why Doc Martens boots and shoes are so prominent in the rock and roll scene. For each generation of rock and roll since the sixties, teens and young adults have flocked to their local shoe stores in search of these symbols of rebellion and style. And one of the best benefits of these shoes are their durability. A good pair of Doc Martens will likely last you for a couple of decades. They will be appropriate for a range of social situations, and above all they will be incredibly comfortable.
Doc Martens boots come in a vast range of different styles and sizes. Within each style you can even find different colors, perfect for expressing your own way of doing things. This goes from their classic hit the 8 eye boot, usually in black, with the long stitching along the sole. This stitching style is consistent in almost all of the shoes made by Dr Martens, and is instantly spotted whenever someone who has ever known anything about Doc Martens is in the room. Rest assured, your affluence and possible moral superiority will shine through like a beacon of beautiful perfume in a room full of soggy bath towels.
When picking out a pair of Doc Martens, you may want to take your time. A terrible hazard exists in that you risk picking out a pair of shoes that you love, but that you do not love as much as another pair of Dr Martens. This will leave you in some kind of marriage with the pair of shoes that you bought, and may make you wonder what might have been if you had bought the pair of shoes you had desired with more passion. Even so, you will absolutely love both pairs of shoes, so the risk is mitigated by the fact that both pairs are rocking pairs of shoes.
