prettygoodyearIn the 90's, when I was a teenager, I bought a pair of these:
Floral Dr. Martens. Now, I think I didn't actually get the real deal, cause they were expensive much, even though my shoes looked exactly like these. I remember loving them, and buying them with my own money. I never cared for what was cool these days, I just loved goofy things if any. After some time I painted them black with shoe polish, which was a desaster.
Then two decaded later, a couple of years ago, I was in Ireland on holiday and they had these shoes on display:
(these are not my legs!). They were dirt cheap fake Dr. Martens, which I bought for about €20,-? I just loved the pattern, and the colors, which are hard to tell on this picture, but boy they were a pain to wear! The sole had no bounce to it, and I think I even bought it a size too small, because my toes were alway aching. But he: cool shoes!
Two weeks ago while I was wearing them again for the first time since forever, the soles got lose. And not just a little, no, completely. Tried to fix it, but it was beyond repair. The rest of the day I just walk around on shoes without soles, haha.
But then! While I was in Maastricht a few weeks ago, I spotted a Dr Martens store. Now, I already own a black pair for a few years now. But I still wanted to have a look. And then I spotted these and was in love:
I tried them on, and it just didn't fit well. I was kinda devastated. So I had to let them go. But the two weeks after, I kept on looking them up, thinking about them etc...So last week I went to Amsterdam, cause they have a store there that sells them aswell. Tried them on, again. and the fit like a glove. And I'm SO happy. Look at the pattern and the colors! LOVE
