Last year I bought these beauties. Since then I have only worn them on about five occasions. They're a pair of Doc Martens Flora Chelsea boots, which is a style that I think is still available (sub: please check*). The sole, although the patented DMs Airwair type, is much thinner than in the standard 8 hole Pascal boots.
Here they are after being dusted off a bit.
Please note that I'm au chausette naturel, but that's only for the purposes of taking the pictures. I never venture out in boots sans socks, it's not a thing I'd endorse whatsoever. In fact, I do own some spevial Doc Socks which have some internal padding located at key pinch points.
A little bit about the leather type on these boots; as you can see grom thr box, they're Kensington arcadia rouge, which is a leather treatment/colourway that rubs off during use and therefore gives a marbled effect. I haven't worn these enough as yet, but only time will tell.
