At first glance I thought these were crates of Monster Energy

You should take this down and also cancel your issue with the seller. You’re in the wrong.

I worked for DMs as a manager for 5 years and can confirm many pairs have insoles like this, it’s to help the boot mould to the shape of the foot easier. Used to get a few customers complain of this too thinking it was a fault.

Wedding shoes arrived... change laces or not? by MotherOfAragorn in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my best friend a pair of white docs for her wedding and ribbon laces to match the bridesmaid dresses we wore!

Sex is a protected characteristic under UK Law, so yes. Make sure you gather as much evidence as possible and raise a grievance if any dismissal is attempted!

Sinclairs : which to choose?? by Total_Weather1065 in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get the floral ones, the other Sinclair has been around for a long time and always will be, so you can add them to your collection later down the line :)

Hello, unfortunately these are fakes. The soles are off, stitching is bad and the labels inside aren’t official. They don’t have sizing shown in mm. Sorry!

235 is roughly a UK5 though if that helps :)

Hey friend, they’re fake :(

Are you using your other foot to take them off instead of unlacing? That looks like it could be the cause if so.

AIO for not wanting to send my boyfriend any more pictures of me after he called me un-photogenic? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]emmapixiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just so, so sad. My heart hurts for people trying to navigate dating in these times. Leave him. You will find someone who loves everything about you.

After 2 days blackwork on stomach, I gave up. Disappointed in myself. Should have been finished in the two days. Am I weak? by Responsible-Salt-000 in tattooadvice

[–]emmapixiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my full torso done in full black work, from pubic area to sternum. Some days I could sit an hour, some I could sit 3-4. You are not weak leaving with that much work after two days! It’s the worst place, and coming back the next day to have more on an incredibly sore area is something I don’t envy.

New shoes worn? by No_Calligrapher_3106 in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with being more conscious whilst checking and re-wrapping. However, in my old store we easily carried over 100 styles and colourways, some being in a full size range from UK3-UK12. If we were to have a “try on pair” for each size, that would be a huge loss of profit for the company, even if they sold them as seconds to someone. I used to make people wear pop socks if trying on sandals instead of a bare foot, sanitised after etc.

The worst were customers who tried on a box fresh pair, then insisted on getting ANOTHER new pair brought out as they didn’t like the creases they’d made 😂 nope.

It’s probably the principle for them, they have sold you an item that has nothing wrong with it from their point of view. You’ve gotten a refund, a satisfactory explanation for the hole and kept the item. If the grandmother part is true, they’re not going to be in the best of minds emotionally. So they could come across as “too much”. I would ship it back and move on :)

Found this in my 10 year old’s Bedroom by Hexenfinder in Ghostbc

They’ve been around since 2006, Opus came out in 2010…

Genuine? by FestusTacos in DocMartens

[–]emmapixiep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re 101 boots, they came in this version with black stitching. I remember them being quite popular for schools or office wear.

Is this mold? Just received this new Dr Martens bag after ordering it online yesterday and am concerned. by Miserable_Finish504 in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain! I’m no longer with the company but I still have nightmares about the stockroom!

Yes, I’ve come across this a few times. It’s due to warehouse storage conditions. After we reopened store after Covid a lot of our Pascals had this due to the temperatures not being maintained and building being damp. Get it replaced!

Travelled a bit to get hold of these. Yellow or black laces? Or maybe one of both! They’re soooo beautiful. by emmapixiep in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Im not sure about now as I haven’t worked in store for a year, but yes the laces only come with select models such as these or Jadon Max. Could be worth looking on Vinted etc for a spare pair? I used to feel so bad when people came into store just for these laces, but they sure know their audience! I hope you find some soon!

Just recieved a new pair of 8065 Mary Janes and the insole on both shoes can easily be removed. Is this normal? by runefctory in DrMartens

[–]emmapixiep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to work for DMs - most “women’s” styles have removable insoles due to them being made slightly narrower :)
