Dr Martens Darcie boot
30 August 2010
Ah, Doc Martens. I got my first pair in 1992 and only got rid of them (with great reluctance) in 2006. What a difference excessive consumerism makes.
I already thought my eight-eyelet copper DMs were something special (purchased 1996, in a wee shop in Kardinya, Western Australia), but then I managed to buy a turquoise-green eight-eyelet pair in 2006, a non-standard (i.e. not lace-up) mid-calf height pair of plain black boots later that year, and the ever-stylish cherry reds (yup, eight-eyelets) in 2008. I’ve had a pair of ‘classic’ oxfords (gibsons?) for Deity knows how long. These Dr Martens Darcie boots (yes, eight-eyelets again) were a Christmas present from the ever-patient husband*. Yeah, I own a buttload of DMs.
They’re actually pretty high-heeled (my friend Rich laughingly remarked he’d wondered why I looked so tall until he noticed the footwear), and I’m known for having delicate little feet — it’s usually trainers and flat-heeled boots. But the Darcies are actually pretty comfortable, unless you’re like me and decide to walk for miles late one evening.
So I recommend them if you’re into boots, patent leather, and Doc Martens. Neil sez, “Kinky!”
* Patient because Neil hasn’t said much about how my shoes are slowly taking over the flat where my books haven’t.

Be careful, you’re betraying your fetishes. Haha! I really really like these boots now. Before I just thought they were brilliant, now I think they’re stupendously wonderful.
