Dr. Martens have long become classics, they are very recognizable and fashionable. Considering current fashion trends, these boots are the perfect match for a variety of looks.
Dr. Martens look stylish, they have a powerful sole that adds a few centimeters of height and allows you to feel confident in these difficult times. But not everything is so simple with these brutal shoes.

Lately, I've heard a lot of bad reviews from girls who bought a new pair of Dr. Martens, and are now sorely disappointed. What is the problem, let's figure out who shouldn't buy these shoes.



Today Dr. Martens are worn by top models, actresses and other celebrities, most of them get trendy stylish looks. Therefore, we also want to be in trend. Plus, Martins seem incredibly comfortable at first glance. They simply have to be comfortable, because initially 60 years ago they were created as reliable working class shoes... Then Dr. Martens were adopted by representatives of subcultures, including militant movements.

Martins are really comfortable, but not for everyone. What is good for a brutal man is not always convenient for a sophisticated girl. At the same time, let's see stylish looks with high Martins, because high boots reveal all the stylish advantages of these shoes to the maximum.

The main disadvantages of boots

1. The shoe has a very rough, almost unbending sole. If you are used to the soft sole with boost technology, you will be unpleasantly surprised by the rigidity of the Martins. It is difficult to find shoes with such a sole, probably, there is simply no stiffer sole.
   
   
2. Classic models without a zipper take a lot of time lacing. I have 3 pairs of tall Dr. Martens in different shades, so I know the problem in practice. It is unrealistic to take it off and put it on without loosening the laces, you will have to unlace it by 2-3 levels each time and re-tie it.
   
   
3. The leather of the shoe is of high quality, but in general the shoes are tough. Even after a year or two in them, you feel as if you were sent to serve in the army! It seems that they will never become soft and tender, like our favorite boots.
   
   
4. They are cold. Somewhere in Italy you don't have to worry about the cold, but here in Russia Dr. Martens can only be worn without thick thermal socks until mid-autumn.
   

The listed features, multiplied by the current price of 15,000-20,000 rubles, make shoes not the most practical purchase.

Therefore, if you like maximum comfort in shoes, are accustomed to sneakers from famous sports brands, you should not buy Martins, they will only bring disappointment. You will wear them specifically for some looks and suffer a lot more than high heels.

What Dr. Martens buy for a girl

If you can't resist these shoes, you need to think about how to wear them as comfortably as possible. When choosing a new pair, you need to consider just a few nuances. Not all Martins are the same, today similar shoes are made by different manufacturers. Some use more feminine materials to please the more delicate shoppers.

Therefore, there are models with a zipper that will save you from long lacing. Others go even further and make a soft leather upper with soft soles. In truth, this is no longer Dr. Martens, but if only comfort is important to you, you need to buy such a pair after careful fitting.



Can also be worn with a sock or thermal sock and padded insole. In this case, you will have to buy a pair one size larger, choose a soft insole and special socks. A positive result is not guaranteed, but you may succeed.



I love the Dr. boots anyway. Martens. Maximum comfort and softness are not good for us, we need to be able to overcome difficulties, temper and be strong.Therefore, I prefer to take off my soft, comfortable shoes from time to time and wear real hard Dr. Martens. They provide not only stylish looks, but also increase strength and confidence, just like in computer games, where the character finds an artifact and becomes stronger.
