It's so weird how they used to be popular with teens cause today they're part of my school uniform and everyone thinks they're disgusting

I think I had about 10 different pairs when I was younger, I even had the fake-brand ones AS WELL. I had them in sooo many different colours, it's kinda amazing really. Nowadays, I only have a black mid-calf pair that I got for free and don't wear anymore.

Well, ten doesn't seem like that much to me. Maybe I had more, I don't know. I do know, though, that I used to wear them with basically anything and everything. Even when I had to dress up all nice to go out to dinner and stuff!

The best boots I've ever had. They seem to last forever. They are a symbol for rockers.

Ah, you've got to wear these if you love the nineties . . . they were originally punk but now they're just rocker and I wear them everywhere. Death to the emos man.

hahahahahah I was born in the EARLY early nineties. I wear Doc Martens NOW! I don't know. I listen to Nirvana and Pearl Jam and wear Docs and ripped jeans. Stuck in the 90's much?

I remember they were banned in my elementary school because of the steel toes and Kids kicking each other. I had a fake pair from payless (back before payless was cool)

I bought a pair of thick high-heeled Docs from a vintage store for $36!! The store owner was so pissed because somebody had mis-priced the boots, but I was so incredibly happy. My mom and I had exactly $36 all together. I'm looking for vintage cherry Docs, though, so if you know of a good place, let me know.

i meet my hs swetheart in 1991 because of docs. we were the only ones in the room with docs on. back then it seemed that you could have a conversation with someone if you wore docs and they wore docs. he had blue 10 holes and i had on wing tipped t-strap mary janes in ox blood. we thought we were so cool because we were so misunderstood. ahhh... adolescence.

I bought my first pair in '93. They were 8 hole smooth black. I managed to acquire about 30 pairs, but I pretty much stopped wearing them back in '01. But I've recently rediscovered how great and comfortable these shoes are, and now I've been wearing them exclusively for the past month. I bought 3 pairs on Ebay last week! I don't care if they're out of style now, I still love them! Too bad they're no longer made in England though. They outsourced to China I think. :(

I still have my first pair from 1990. They are all black ( no color stitching) and look just like combat boots. I still prefer wearing my Docs. I have quite a few pair.

I'm 15 and I love my Docs I bought my first pair a couple months ago. These boots are so badass. I'm into the whole 80's look and my docs complete it =](they look kinda big with my tight pants but who cares?)

They still make Docs in a variety of styles and colors...lots of 1460's which were one of the original styles and lots of crazy looking ones with pictures or engravings on them. I have a red pair with dragons carved into them among my collection.

my god, I've just found a pair online for $17 new and $1 used. not sure I trust it though since they're so eerily cheap =\

I remember my first pair of Doc's. My friend was so excited because she had to knock offs, so I begged my dad for a pair for a week. When he bought them, I called her over just to look at them. When I went to school the next day, everyone was commenting on my boots! Every couple of months I had to have a new bottle of balm Every once and while, I break out the ankle boots to work in the yard. I use to think I was so cool because I had multiple choices of docs to wear.
