My Doc Martens are magical. Magical I tell you. Comfy, water-tight, magic.
As soon as my feet are surgeried and reach a permanant size I'll be buying them whenever possible.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh, those are good, Holli. I love anything spectatorish. Too bad my need for shoes is probably at an all time low.

Because books.
In love. IN. LOVE.
I've spent around $100 on good leather boots that will last, so actually buying these? Not happening. But man, do I want them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Doc Marten steel toed Mary Janes are magical. They're solid, heavy but not uncomfortably so, and do a sort of femme dowdy that I really like.
Which reminds me, I need to get the straps on my old character shoes fixed, because the new character shoes just aren't comfy. What a waste. My feet don't make their mind up until a few days into wearing new shoes.

it would almost work as a neutral.
I sort of see what you mean. They'd be so cheerful on grey Mondays, too.

These are the boots I almost bought at Saks. For $99, perfectly workable.

I will spring for flues and bras, pretty much. Though I am still surviving on wrongfit bras. I'm a 34G at last check and none of those tried are oriented right, while my old lane byrant's, with their wrong band size and cups suffice. They are at least located where my real estate is. But they slip around too much.

Next year I'm getting Doc Marten winter boots. The regular ones are completely water tight. Sometimes I'll think for a second water has gotten in but its just cold.
Lined ones? It'll be like I done died an' gone to heaven.

$99 for those boots seems very reasonable. Last time I was in Saks (which may be the only time I've been in Saks) I just kind of drifted through in a daze whispering to myself how I couldn't even think about affording anything. It made an impression.

Oh my, ita. Those are gorgeous. You should have splurged, lady.
One day, I'm going to get a regular old pair of Timberland work boots like these again. They were hugely trendy in junior high -- we all had them, and wore them pretty much daily, which is not really a fashion statement I need to make anymore.
But! Once they're worn in, they're comfortable as hell, and they withstand everything. Mine lasted until after Jake was born, which was a good 10+ years after purchase, and I wore them in the snow all the time.
