I've always loved Doc Martens but never so much as to when my good ol'dad gave me a pair for helping him move house. They're navy blue, matte ankel boots, and they are absolutely gorgeous! So what is it with this 80s comeback? Well believe it or not DM's have been around for longer than I have existed. Yes that's right, our parents generation. My mums been having her flashbacks whenever she sees my DMs...So what colour are yours? Wait, you dont have a pair? Don't panic and don't rush, they have been around since 1960 so I'm sure they won't be going anywhere soon! Thanks to Dr Klaus Maertens, this guy helped create a fashion statement, and shaped the rebel teenager from his little shed back in Germany. The boots were a common item amongst the working classes and throughout the years have spread to the pop fashionistas of the 80's and the modern teenager of the 90's. Lets admit, DM's have always been different, they stand out in the crowd and I think this is what this type of brand had hoped to achieve. Dr Martens come at a price, originals will set you back around £75. They also take some time to break into but after that its like a walk in a park.
