Oh Duchess why are you so obsessed with banal things such as comfortable footwear? Well, that's just my unique personality to be honest and as a result, it's intrinsically part of me. To be honest, I think there's a good explanation for my behaviour, but I won't share anything on the interweb until I'm absolutely sure.
Why Doctor Martens? I suppose it's because they sell their ladies styles in a size 9, which I always appreciate in a footwear manufacturer. I now own four pairs: a mary jane shoe in red leather, a knee high flat boot in a style named 'Elena' and my red patent eight hole boots in a style called Clemency, which I've written about recently. Oooh, anyway, after much humming, harring and general fiddlyfadding I have purchased a pair of these from Amazon today:
As you can see from the picture which I have copied from the website beautypea, they are a tan rough leather chelsea boot style with the same 5cm stack heel as I have on my pair of Clemency. The reason why I opted for an elastic gusset instead of laces is because it takes me ages to fasten them and I have to leave the house in a hurry sometimes (for the school run - I'm not being chased by unseen assassins!)
Of course, I could have waited until the sales hit the official Dr Martens website and saved myself another tenner (they tend to mark their boots down by £20) but I saved £10 with an Amazon code anyway and I know that I can return them for free if they don't fit. To be honest, the only sizes they had left in stock on the DMs website were 7 and 9 and it's just my luck that someone will purchase those before Christmas, so I'd have no choice whatsoever. I now ensure that once I've bought something that I don't check back to see whether it's been discounted - life's too short and there's very little point worrying about such things.
