Best praise vs top criticism for Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots
“I don't have a specific "style". I have a bunch of items that work well together, and sometimes I might feel edgy, other times I might feel feminine. For example, i have a great pair of number 3 Baum Und Pferdgarten jeans in a dark wash. I've made them feminine with an off shoulder top, sandals, and a cute bag, and I've made them a bit more edgy with an asymmetrical top and doc martens.”
“Same, I had to “break in” my leather Blundstones, but it was mainly the upper leather portion over the top of my foot was a little tight and just needed to stretch out. Doc Martens, however, NEVER broke in for me and were miserable to wear right away and always.”
