Doc Martens Flora Boots

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.

Doc Martens Hurt My Feet

Hello again! I have decided to reinvigorate this blog.

Well, as I previously stated, they blooming do. Earlier on today I went for a nice long walk in my Doc Martens 1b99s, which I had definitely worn in last year, but no, they still ripped my poor heels to shreds. Even when worn with special double layer hiking socks:


The other two Docs pictured with my black leather 14 hole 1b99s are Flora Arcadias and Vegan 14 holes. All of my boots are conspiring against me, sob!!!
