So, I'm a 90s girl and yes, I love my Docs. I bought my first pair of purple 8-holes in 1996 in London, and wore them until there was almost no sole at all left. Since then I've owned several more pair, including shoes and heeled boots. I finally got my husband addicted to them as well and now it's all he wears. I recently surfed over to the official site and started browsing and was excited to see several styles I thought were great for steampunk. Unlike some of the other things I post, I get no commission on these, I'm not an affiliate, I just love them.
Women's Triumph 1914 (Also in black and red)
Clemency in Copper
Clarissa - I'm not sure if I like this or not...
Aggy Boot
Josefa (I might be in lust with this one to replace the cheap brown boots I wear now.)
Lauren
Beckett
Harrie (There are shoe versions of this...and they're on SALE.)
Jocelyn - One of my friends fell in love with this one. Can't blame her. Plus, sale!
The Men's offerings look pretty boring in comparison. There are a few metallics, but they're mostly conservative. Now I just need to win the lottery so I can buy ALL THE DOCS.
*drools* they look gorgeous, far too expensive for my budget though. But a girl can dream, right? :P
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing I own to Doc Martens are floral no-name brand boots that conveniently look exactly like real Doc Martens >:) http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/Womens-Boots/WOMEN%27S-1460/p/11821016
I think the Josefa and the Lauren both would work well as replacements for you. Note that the Lauren has the more traditional heel.
ReplyDeleteI have the Triumph in black at home (with deep red ribbons for laces, of course). I just bought these to finish my first steampunk outfit: http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/Womens-Boots/CASEY/p/15279001. These http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/CORINNA/p/16133001 on my "want for steampunk" list :) Thank you for the awesome site!
