What are on your feet right now? Are you sporting a nice pair of sneakers, or possibly a new pair of clogs? Maybe you're a flip-flop kind of individual, or prefer a high heel with everything. Then again you could be prancing around in your bare feet. Most of the time I wear flip flops, but for going out you can't beat a good quality pair of boots.

Okay, well unless you're Huck Finn himself, you're probably enjoying some kind of fine footwear. As for me, I only wear one kind of shoe when I am going out around town and I sport it year-round. Actually to be more precise, it's not a shoe at all. It's a pair of Dr. Martens boots. I am in love with these things. They offer everything thing I need from a fine pair of footwear, and nothing is missing. How comfortable are your feet now days?

It all started back when I was 25 years old. I was out strolling through the mall for a new pair of shoes. You see, I never wore sneakers at all. I simply don't care for them. Eventually I spotted a rack full of boots. Dr. Martens boots caught my attention specifically. I wasn't too into the Timberland style. Then I decided to give the boot thing a shot. So I tried on a current pair of dr martens boots. These babies were the bomb. I had never experienced such comfort before. Needless to say, I purchased them immediately. I was all excited going back home in my new Dr. Martens boots. This was going to be a serious thing for me; I could tell. Now, five years down the road, I still only wear and enjoy Dr. Martens boots.

That first pair lasted three years. That's not bad for 100 bucks. Then I purchased two new pair, one black and one brown, to suit all occasions. I've had both for two years now, and neither look old. Heck, the soles aren't even starting to wear out yet. I believe I am hooked on Dr. Martens boots for life. They truly are the only footwear I own. How long does a typical pair of your shoes last? I look at how often I buy my son sneakers and dress shoes, and they don't hold a candle next to Dr. Martens boots. They're simply not built tough. Furthermore, I can use my Dr. Martens boots in virtually any atmosphere. Whether I'm walking the city streets, hiking through the local mountains, shoveling snow in the winter, or digging out a massive tree stump; I've done it all in a pair of "Docs". Not to mention they are dressy enough to go out in, regardless of your destination.

The reason they are worn so much is that they are actually a very comfortable fit and there is very few footwear on the market that is so versatile. People will go out to the pub with them on, to clubs and college.
