I think I'm fucking up /fa/

Every time I look over the Doc Martens website I see something I really want to get

Aren't fashionable people supposed to avoid all forms of docs like the plague?

I'd rather look good. I'm not yet skilled enough to look good whilst being myself

If you like them, get them, /fa/ is usually awful for advice on how to dress.

>> No.6730923

not necessarily, that shirt should be avoided but doc's overall can work very well

>> No.6730958

That shirt specifically isn't all that great, but DM footwear is top-tier if you don't try to look like a skinhead with it.

>> No.6730973

who the fuck told you that doc martens are off limits

they're well crafted for the price, break in well (if you aren't a retard), and there are so many different styles and prints that discounting all of them purely because of the brand is retarded

wear what you like, don't limit yourself to what you think the cool kids on the Internet want you to wear

jesus christ the awkward elitism on this board stings sometimes

I'm looking to cop a pair of black Docs but there's like 4 different types of black styling. Which one is the "most" preferable?

>> No.6731018

>docs are bad
For the price they're some of the most varied and well-constructed boots money can buy. What the fuck are you harping about?

This.
Take mental notes of pictures you see of people you think look good.
Disregard just about everything else.

solid black shoes are hard to match, but they just came out with these boots. hadley boots, they are called. Very nice, I think, and they'll be built to last a lifetime at that. Docs age like wine.

a lot of their shoes recently are made in Thailand or China, top tier ones are from their Made in England collection

>> No.6731101

They're still just as high quality.

I personally dislike Doc Martens, mostly because Dr. Marten was a shitting Nazi Party member, but plenty of people use them fashionably. Get 'em if you like 'em.

That shirt, though, I'd strongly advise against. It's saying you're not the kind of person who throws his boots around his neck but you wish you were.

Become that person instead of dropping money on a t-shirt.

And I know a bunch of very real, traditional punks who hate everything even vaguely consumerist, and I've heard them talking about the quality issue. They get the English ones if they can at all help it, apparently.

>> No.6731277

>>6731091
This perception that somehow a made in England Doc Marten is better is rather silly.

At that price point there wouldn't be much different in quality, if any at all.

there definately is a difference
though the best boots are solovairs
