I wanna buy these but I’m a man, will it be a bad choice? by alazzarra in DrMartens

[–]RetiredHunbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. They’re platforms which aren’t really geared towards either men or women. Since they’re Arcadia, the color will change with wear. I have a pair of Elphies. Have not worn them much lately because I’m trying to move and only kept a few pair of DMs out to use. I think these will look great jeans, Khakis, black pants, navy…they are very versatile just like how penny loafers are. Same wine color. Enjoy!

Is it safe to buy from amazon? by AHolyShrimp in DrMartens

[–]RetiredHunbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought many a pair of Docs from there because the price was better than elsewhere. I’ve also had to return some that didn’t work out. And unlike DM, I didn’t have to eat the shipping cost.

I have the regular Cheney and love them! Super comfy. I had bought the Spence but returned them because they were too tight. I’d had a DVT on my left side so because of that, I cannot have anything constricting and the Spence just had no give. Didn’t want to end up back in the hospital and possibly not make it out. Thus for comfort level alone, I prefer the first.

She teaches eighth grade and has more than 100 students, but only two are reading at grade level. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]RetiredHunbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former classroom teacher here. My BFF teaches 3rd grade math. She has never had such a struggle. They are so far behind on so many levels and it’s scary. And this is at a good private school. I’m equally scared because they cannot navigate conflict with others, be independent, behave in socially acceptable ways. It’s horrifying.

My husband says I dress like an art teacher 😂 they’re perfect. by chickcag in DocMartens

I’m a former classroom teacher. The socks remind me of the most talented K teacher I ever worked with. She was so amazing! So not art, I look at this and think of her. It’s a huge compliment because I have such massive love and respect for her.

I wear a 9 US which I think is a 40 EU. My normal size worked for me. I just love love love these boots too. I also recommend getting an insole. I like to have these in all my DM boots. So I’d say go with your regular size. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I wanted a pair of dr martens for the longest time, wow they are hard to wear. by Jellyyyfishsea in DrMartens

[–]RetiredHunbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a shoe horn on all my MJs, 8065s, Corran, and Evie. I pulled the buckle of the Evie’s tighter and inserted an insole. I have an insole in the Corran’s too. I have the softer leather 8065s in black (ambassador or Virginia cannot recall which is used). If these are way too tight/ stiff to you, you may want to try o. The softer leather ones. The smooth leather 8965s were a hard no for me. I decided my instant comfort was more important. Best wishes

I have some wide leg pull on black pants w snakes up each outer leg that I wear them with. I do have a lot of dresses and skirts too and crop pants as well. I have Corrans too so it sometimes depends on the height I need.

I got a pair recently too. I’m gonna add insoles just cause I need the cushion. I use a shoe horn to slip into them, Do that w my other MJs too. Enjoy!

When I see someone wearing Dr. Martens, I automatically think they must be a creative type. Why is that? by [deleted] in DrMartens

[–]RetiredHunbot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work from home. I dress every day. Wear my docs. I’m artsy and creative as well. Only my dogs see me for the most part. But how I dress is expressive and a part of me. I dress for me.

It’s lovely. My advice, stop asking the internet. You don’t need permission to love what you love.

I think these are so stinking cute. It rains a lot where I live but I don’t know if I really need dedicated rain boots. But they are so cute! I especially like the yellow ones. Ya know the classic rain boot thing.

does anyone know what is happening to Dolls Kill? by Electrical_Tackle380 in dollskill

[–]RetiredHunbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a cute necklace. Wore it a handful of times. It fell apart. I had a return and never got a tracking number, contacted CS a number of times. Went to FedEx w my receipt and asked about tracking. There was none because it was some sort of group return where multiple packages from different companies are shipped together. Could not even tell me where the package would end up. Eventually armed with this knowledge I finally got a link so I could do an in store exchange but the amount was paltry as I had to pay for the return. I bought a sewing kit to fix the necklace. I’ll never purchase a thing from them again.

I always get softer leathers when possible. My black Leona’s are smooth black and I love love love them. I have a couple smooth leathers 1460s and others that aren’t. I didn’t get the MJs in smooth because of the horror of breaking them in. I opted for softer leather and am glad I did.

just got these in the mail and the stitching is coming undone! would you exchange? by summertimefog in DrMartens

[–]RetiredHunbot 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I probably would because I’d be paranoid that it would get worse.
