Do you own or have you ever owned a pair of DMS. We have a fair few pairs between us now. There's so many different styles and colours about these days, what type and colour have you got?

In my student days, I had the boots of course! In black and in a maroon colour.

Man, those things killed my feet when breaking them in. Are they still like that?! But then when you did, they were absolutely fine and super comf.

Three old pairs of boots when the toe wasn't so narrow. I can't wear the modern ones.

I even have a pair of Mary Janes I got brand new for a tenner about 20 years ago because they were concept shoes.

Yes they still need breaking in though its a lot easier these days with the doc socks you can buy, they are socks with 2 layers so the boots don't rub your feet, though I suppose wearing 2 pairs of socks would get the same results.

You have to buy the "Made in England" version - rather than Spain/Portugal ones - more expensive but better full grain leather (thicker and not plastic laminated) and different sole. However Less options for styles (10 hole) and ridiculous price. Break-in still depends on foot shape though so double-sock essential at first.

Used to own several pairs of them. They used to be made in Earl's Barton and here in Daventry in Northamptonshire and were a gift from German high command after WWII so they really were NSD boots. I think they still make them in China now.

I’ve never had any issues. Walked out the shop and trotted round all day in some pairs. It does depend on the style. Some are harder leather and not as supple. Others have more flexible soles. I wear thick socks to start with, double them over at the top so that doesn’t dig into my ankle or leg

It's surprising how many of the staff in our various offices / call centres ask, "are those Docs you are wearing?" I've had Docs since I was about 16years old and I'm 61 now but still love them.

Do they still do the none steel toe work boot?

I'm not sure, all the industrial safety boots are steel, and a lot cheaper. I know Meindl and Haix do a kevlar toe box, for arb. work. "

No, not a none metalic saftey boot, they used to do the work boots without any toe cap, but obviously still the thicker leather and better sole

Had two pairs as a teenager/early 20s girl

Got rid when they fell to bits. Bought a new small pair (smaller size boots) to wear for work. Didn't feel very feminine so gave them to my very grateful daughter at uni

I never saw the attraction to them. I wore a pair of steel toe capped DM's for work, but I always preferred other makes of boots.

Had loads over the years mainly black patent with STC, however quality doesn't appear to be what it was.
