Don't Accidentally Boot The Sofa

Just don't, I know that I've got dyspraxia, but this is what happens. My left foot is terribly swollen.

Doc Martens Rometty

I bought these pair of platforms in the sale, the brown leather version was half price at £70. They arrived today and I'm in two minds concerning whether to return them?  They feel comfortable, but boy they're heavy as hell (if indeed the underworld/Hades has been assigned a weight?  Maybe the combined weight of mankind's sinful souls?)

Stomp, stomp stomp - a domestic Romper Stomper if you like?

This is the website listing:

There are no reviews pertaining to either choice of colourway.  Pity.

*Update*

I returned them for a full refund.

Doc Socks

Yes, it's Black Friday, a phenomenon which never really existed here in the UK until a few years ago. Have I purchased anything? No, not really. I mean I ordered some Uniqlo Ezy jeans in their sale, but even the XL was too small, so I sent them back. That said, I chose to re-order a pair of their excellent ultra stretch skinnies in black because I haven't a pair that actually fit me at the moment. It's free delivery and returns at the moment, so happy days.

Ah, Doc Socks. I bought these from Amazon I think, as I baulked at paying p&p on the official DMs site. They have internal padding located at the foot's pressure points, thereby cushioning one's plates of meat against the harsh and unyielding leather of the boots.

She's got legs ...

... and she knows how to use them." Sang the hairy Texan rockers ZZ Top back in the 80s. I know how to use mine too and I'm choosing to cover them with leggings.

These are textured faux leather leggings which I bought from Matalan. They make a bit of a rasping sound when I rub my limbs together in the manner of a giant grasshopper.

The pair pictured above are biker style leggings and are also a Matalan product. They're really tactile and as such I keep rubbing my own legs like some kind of self-stimulating madwoman.

Doc Martens Cadence

Over the years I've built up a fair number of pairs of Doc Martens. I like to walk and find that they fit my lifestyle perfectly, plus I like a bit of a block heel, despite being nearly 6ft in them!

I bought these Cadences a few years ago, both in the tan and black colourways. I've also got duplicate pairs sitting in the loft which I bought half price in the DMs online sale. The heel height is roughly 2in, which is ideal. I must confess that I'm not a huge fan of the black pair as due to the specific leather they've used, Greenland, it's always seemed a bit scruffy. They look ok with black or grey skinny jeans/leggings/jeggings etc though.

 

The grips are pretty good too, as you can see. 

Doc Martens Brienna Ladies Wedge

I can never get enough boots and shoes, especially Doc Martens. I have umpteen pairs and still crave more. I bought this pair from eBay as the style has been discontinued on the website and I'd had my eye on them for ages. They're a wedge, which I love for their height and comfort.

They are very bouncy!  I'm like Zebedee.

Half A Pint Of Sweat ...

... is apparently excreted by human feet on a daily basis. How do I know this? Well, I've got the QVC Style Channel burbling around in the background, a bit like tropical fish, but without the hassle. It's the Clarks Shoes show, but it's rare to see them flogging size 9s on there.
