 I've concluded one thing. Doc Martens makes the best shoes.
I've never been much of a "shoe person" in the Sex and The City, Manolo Blahnik sense. I went through a flirtation with pumps when I was fourteen or fifteen...granted, in those days, they didn't make flat dressy shoes for women. Either it was heels, or it was, well, sneakers or espadrilles or what have you...I can remember the first time a company made fancy flats. It was Sam and Libby.
I could wear low heels and liked the look, but ultimately...I secretly dislike the idea of not being able to walk or stand endlessly, or break spontaneously into a run. I understand the symbolic value of not being able to do so; really I do. I just don't like it.
Enter Doc Martens. I dread the day they outsource the manufacturing of these shoes, should they ever dare commit such treason. The sheer genius of Doc Martens is that they're UK made, i.e., they don't fall apart after a year.
