    Re: Doc Martens "Bennett"

    East Pualding High school in Dallas Georgia

    it was named number 5 in the county for amount of Skin Heads.

    But now it is like a Day care ,I guess things change .

    I can remeber some of them wore Kilts .

    But back then I did not know I was Scottish , But I wanted a pair of Doc's

    but could not afford them then. I got them on my feet right now

    I have to wear steel toes at work and I work in the office and found some low top steel toe Doc's work great

    Re: Doc Martens "Bennett"

    I like the new shoes CMcG. Not so much for dressier occasions but definately for games or out on the street wear. I have to agree that Doc's are a very comfy shoe/boot and would surely be of a benefit when standing or walking around at the Highland games all day.

    I'm gonna guess Thomas meant "School Board" and not "School Broad"...

    I'm wearing a pair of 8-eyed "For Life" Docs right now, the greasy brown is soft and supple, clothlike, like a pair of leather socks. I've worn Docs for a little over half of my life... they are a fantastic shoe... although in the late 90's - early 00's the quality dropped. Personally I've been seeing that quality improve subtantially, back to the old docs I knew and loved.

    My next shoe will be the Doc Martin Fabrizo - it's a classic wingtip but with a beefier "country" sole. I don't see them on their site anymore but I still see them around some of the shoe sites.

    Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

    Re: Doc Martens "Bennett"

    I used to do 3 day trade shows. On my feet all the time. The only really comfy shoes I had were Docs. Really good solid support .... especially when on your feet all day. I didn't know they made a less "bulky" looking shoe. Very nice. Like 'em a lot.

    Re: Doc Martens "Bennett"

    That shoe might just put me into a pair of Doc Martens if they made a narrow width. I really like your shoes, and, you're right, with a good shine, they'll bear up for anything.

    If you like that model, grab them while they're still around and you might get a clearance price. There are some other models that look similar, in varying levels of chunkiness. Click on the images to go to the online store, where more colours are available as well.

    No, I don't work for Doc Martens, but I'm really surprised at how many different styles they make now.

    I found mine to be quite narrow and had to buy them up a full size in order to fit me feet into them.

    Re: Doc Martens "Bennett"

    First two pair of Docs are 11+ years old, now. Got black ones on as this is keyed, almost as perfect as the day they were purchased. Soles wear very little if y' don't drag yer bloomin' feet.

    Bought another five pair since.
