:::i LOVE MY DOCS | yes i do

prior to 2010 i've never owned docs. the closest i ever came were some sad counterfeits from honest ed's that my mom bought me for high school. they were a size too big because she was convinced i'd grow into them, which i didn't. what happened in 2010 is dr. martens opened up shop on queen street in toronto. after attending the media preview, i was gifted with a voucher for a free pair of docs. i flipped out (on the inside).

it didn't take me long to make a selection; after a quick try on i decided that the 1460 8-eye boots in the black qq flowers were going home with me that day. i settled for a size 9 because i didn't want to wait and see if a size 8 would come in; i was too eager to own my very first pair of dr. martens. since that day i have been wearing my docs pretty frequently and am amazed at how comfortable they are.


i think that dr. martens may have become my new chucks in the sense that i want to buy more and more in different colours and prints to build a collection. for my birthday my sister picked up the diva darcie 8-eye boot in the silver armor lamper (patent leather) and since i started this post (i've had this in drafts forever) i've also picked up the diva darcie 8-eye boot in black (it was on sale!).


if you don't live in the toronto area, not to fret. you can find dr. martens at multiple locations like holt renfrew, little burgundy and other retailers. for the best selection outside of the store, i suggest you shop online (international checkout is available).
