Docs!

[FunknPunk]

Got my Docs today. Very excited. What kind of Docs do all you guys wear?

[DaveToopes]

...No docs! But, if I did wear docs, I'd get 8 or 10 eye oxbloods with a steell toe and steel heel. with the black soles. What kind did you get?

I'm pretty sure they make vegan docs.... strange as it is :amaze:

nice shoes, by the way :) they're like pseudo-converse... but cooler, cause they're not nike ;)

[Brain Toad]

Odd thread.

Docs are too expensive for my tastes. I wear 'Roebucks". Sears brand steel toed boots yo.

[Nerdcore753]

I wear either my Vans or my very comfortable shoes I got at Target. Never really cared for Docs and the like.

[Clashed]

They might be a bit expensive but, worth it. I have 5 hole ones, shoes.. But eh. I like them. Comfy as ****. And they don't wear out.

[SantaDuJuan]

Pfft, **** that.
I wear my checkerd vans.
SPICOLI WAS A FASHION GENIUS!

[Mr. Ron]

I have two pairs of Docs. I love them. Most comfortable boot I ever owned.

[TheNowhereman42]

I have one pair from long before I sent vegan. Black, soft leather, something like 8 eyes.

[Subvert_bassist]

I used to have eight eye Docs. Sold them along with my leather jacket when I realized that I was wearing another (formerly) living creature. Besides, Docs are overrated. Now, I wear a pair of Vision Street Wears. Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn in my life.

[Anxious]

I have worn nothing since last year but my old school vans. I get new ones about every 1 1/2 years.

[POINTLESS5448]

docs are gay. they are my school uniform shoe. gay.

[Culture Shock]

I own a pair of 3 eye steel-toed Docs and a pair of 8 eye Doc boots. The boots don't fit and I am willing to sell them very cheap if anyone is interested. The size is 10 US/9 UK.

[BeaversEatWood21]

docs are gay. theyre made in china nowadays. vegans are gay too. purple monkey dishwasher

[FunknPunk]

vans are ****. they've become a fashion commodity and are now selling at 50$ apiece. 50 bucks is a lot of money for plastic, canvas, and ink, kid.

[draintheblood]

No docs for meeee

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Vans.

[draintheblood]

Vans.

Checkered Vans and Grinders.

[KingOfSka]

I got mine for 30$.

[DaveToopes]

Are you talking about the slip on Vans?

[Pete]

All my shoes are leather, and I don't care whether or not all the cute little animals were to be shot.

[Subvert_bassist]

Smartass. Haha.

[JohnXDoe]

I have two pair, black and brown. Best boot ever. You can catch me in one pair or the other much of the time.

[DaveToopes]

wait...docs as in pants?

Nope, as in boots/shoes. http://www.drmartens.com/

[Drum Phil]

14-hole black with the funny colour see through sole.

The missus has the 20-hole black with black sole and stitchin and heel

[Skidmark Steve]

eww gross

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I got mine for 30$.Ich auch.



Also, all that lacing seems like a big dirty pain.

[Drum Phil]

Takes me 10 mins, the missus is an expert an can do it in 5 with bigger boots

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I like the slip-ons.

I sometimes challenge myself to beat my fastest time of .3 seconds to get my shoes on and get out the door.

[DaveToopes]

I usally just turn all my shoes into slip ons, despite the laces, I usually just tie them at the end of the last hole and cut the lace.

[Skidmark Steve]

my shoes : vans, chucks, rebok classics(all black), and my haggard as5 school shoes that i painted black

[DaveToopes]

I have a pair of chucks that I rarely wear, and my usual shoes are a really beat-up pair of nikes

[asdf]

I have docs as my winter boots. They will last me a lifetime and then some if I can help it.

[CombatRock]

I have a pair, they are just the regular black boots, made me broke too. But i love them.

[DaveToopes]

I wish I had docs...

[asdf]

I didn't realize docs were so expensive. Where I got them they were pretty cheap.

I now wont buy and shoes that are over 10 dollars, though. Not that I need shoes. I mean, my shoes are trashed, but as long as they can still be tied to my feet, they're still shoes.

[mole]

That's what I say, some people call my shoes sandals though, there is about as much open space in them as there is closed space. I love 'em though, most comfortable shoe I've ever had.

I wear all my clothes to death like that. I end up just patching a lot of things, because I just can't seem to part with my old clothes. They're just so comfortable, though.

[DaveToopes]

Yeah. I had to sew a pair of pants from the bottom of the leg to the crotch. Hoorah for sewing machines.

[Ghostfire3]

I agree. Same with me. My mom trys to make me get rid of my old, beat-up shoes, but I refuse. Can't part with them.

[asdf]

My mom barely bugs me to get rid of my clothes, because many of them were actually hers in the 80's. No one in my family is good at parting with clothes.

My mom wonders why I wear these shirts that say "the bijou theatre" on them, when I wasn't even alive when that theatre was around. I don't really know why I wear them, other than because they're comfortable, and I've just gotten into a habit of wearing them.

[RudeBoyStompin]

I have a pair of 8-hole Docs. Got them before I went vegetarian and will probably never get rid of them. For regular sneakers I have a pair of MacBeth's (http://www.journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?c=vendors&s=guys/Macbeth&id=22854). Every pair of vans I've ever gotten has fallen apart within a few months.

Nice. Mine aren't quite that beat up, but they'll get there.

[DaveToopes]

I'll post a picture of my Nike's later.

[Brain Toad]

I have a pair of DCs that lasted me about 2 years until I got my boots. The only thing keeping me from wearing them is they are a little too small and my boots are more comfortable.

[skavid]

Army Surplus store dumpster dive. They were throwing them out because one of the boots was missing laces. So I went in and bought some laces, and I ended up spending $2.00 for a pair of brand new boots.

[ratsinthecity403]

All my shoes are leather, and I don't care whether or not all the cute little animals were to be shot.

I honestly can't understand vegetarians who refuse to buy leather things. They often last much longer, you'll have to replace cloth things multiple times before leather wears out.
I, as a vegearian will buy leather without feeling bad about it. If I were to buy 100% vegan shoes I'd be spending wither ridiculously high prices for shoes that fall apart within months (I can't just keep wearing torn apart shoes in the winter), or else paying lower prices for shoes made in a sweatshop. And the latter case is far more common.

I have vegan shoes that are extremely durable. It's all about how passionate you are and if you care to even look.

If you did, you can find many boots imitating leather and are just as durable.

But keep thinking that.:thumb:

if you're gonna be a vegan, you gotta learn to deal. simple.

you lost me here...most vegans and many vegetarians care about animals. just because you can buy leather and not feel bad doesnt mean the whole wide world is just like you.

i for one dont understand vegans who buy vegan boots from doc marten, one of the biggest leather retailers in the world...

[DaveToopes]

Good point, I'm sure there are some vegans who don't get vegan Docs because of that.

That sucks that they just throw stuff like that out. I'm sure some homeless people wouldn't mind that lack of laces.

I know. I donated my kinda old Lakais that I had on at the time to the shelter the next day, seeing as I felt sort of generous after getting some new boots for practically free.

Compassion befor Fashion.

[Anxious]

Functuality befor Compassion

[DaveToopes]

Touché...

[Vietnow]

Vegan shoes are just as durable as Doc martins, if not more.

[DaveToopes]

Shhhh! Don't tell that to ratsinthecity403!

[Culture Shock]

when people have red docs with yellow laces, it is funny

Those are called Ronald McDonald boots.

And I agree with what that other kid said, "Compassion before fashion". I purchased my docs before I went vegetarian and they were made in England so they weren't made in sweatshops either.

[Rootsradical]

I just wear globes because it's hard to skateboard in boots, and they are cheap and comfortable.

[Drum Phil]

I wear all my clothes to death. Unless i grew out of em first. I'd probably get arrested for the rip in my jeans now though :)

See black ones with white/red laces look cool. Red with anything but black or white look dumb

is that what white laces really mean? White Power or something?

All the TRAD skinheads I know, so non-racist, have white laces. I don't think different color laces should mean anything, though. meaning might change within different cities and different information sources.

[Brain Toad]

All the TRAD skinheads I know, so non-racist, have white laces. I don't think different color laces should mean anything, though. meaning might change within different cities and different information sources.

There is some meanings applied to laces, but it's not usually enforced by anyone. So if you go around with red laces people won't label you a nazi or commie (don't know which it is) unless you are carrying something else or acting some way that will indicate that way.

[Culture Shock]

The different laces don't mean anything now but they use to once upon a time.

[FunknPunk]

heh, sweet, i guess...

'cause i'm definately not a nazi ^^

[asdf]

He sure did. It's a good thing he got these boots, too, because he only has one pair of shoes and they're converse. Last winter we went running around in the snow and his feet got very, very frostbitten.

im a girl and i don't think docs really suit females, they look kinda clumpy or something. I prefer my converse shoes.. most comfortable shoes ever. However on guys the docs look class.
