Designer Shoes

Without a shadow of a doubt, Doc Martens are back. Just down the road from my house in Shoreditch, you can find a veritable slaughterhouse of yellow plastic, filled with footwear stamped with the infamous name – they’re being worn everywhere and by everyone!

However, as far as trends in designer shoes go, I’m not sure I approve of this new fashion. You see, Doc Martens have always been a sign of rebellion…and I’m not sure this has a place in the world of designer shoes. However, unlike most fashion writers, I’m uncertain about this whole situation because I love rebellion! I absolutely hate seeing the spirit of Doc Martens compromised by spineless indie-kids, who wouldn’t know anarchy if it took their girlfriend on a date to their own overpriced vegan restaurant!

So my feelings are mixed; I’m pleased Doc Martens are back, but I’m disappointed that the market they now appeal to comprises of everything the original market despised. Any thoughts?
