DR. MARTENS BOOTS | MY 1ST PAIR | WATCH THIS BEFORE BUYING YOUR FIRST PAIR | 5 STYLES - BEST CHOICE

[@patricknan4207]

I saw myself in you haha. We both invest so much time and energy doing the research whenever buying something new.

[@lybo1581]

Guilty🙋🏽‍♀️

[@CandaNesian]

Me too😂

[@kayinoue2497]

I definitely like the ones with the red stitching! Docs are such a personal thing. I love my 1460 smooth leather pair that are dark purple (like my wheelchair) with the classic yellow stitching and original soles.

[@pgibby25]

The luana is made for the affordable shoe stores! Like vans makes the same type of shoe but a little different for stores like rack room shoes or famous footwear.

[@c.bellamy2007]

I just bought the averil boots, love them. No break in time, totally comfortable and I needed a kicka$$ heel. I can't wait to wear them!

[@whangazful]

My first pair was the doc martens 1461 smooth and now i’ve recently bought the Jadon max . i wore the jadon max to work and my manager told me i’m not allowed to wear them working at the grocery store . they looked aggressive lol

[@mannylafarga8415]

That’s lame. The jadon max is so nice

[@Vinegarissweet]

Booooo to the manager.

[@mdc123-v2v]

They're also incredibly poorly made.

[@ralex3697]

Your boss is so woke

[@Zell8158]

Um.. I don’t think they can do that. Wear them

[@mariontia8380]

Ok. I'm older but got on d.martens train last summer. The soft 1460 leather r the way to go, dont need to break in. I have them in baby blu, soft yellow, all white. ❤ love them.

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Marion Tia wow you have so many pretty colors ❤️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Wow this brings me down memory lane! I wore my Doc Martens to pieces when I was a teenager! Crazy how they’ve come back full circle. Fashion always repeats itself! I think the vibe of Doc Martens goes really well with your style. Rock em! 😝

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Makes it hard to ever get rid of stuff since trends always come back to past fashion. But DMs never really went away in IMO, it's just more prevalent now among different generations and spans different styles. And now it's stressing me because I don't know which one to pick...do I really need more than one?! Sigh. TFW! ❤️

[@cjschmitt4882]

they never left the circle!

[@PEARLSJAM]

I regret not holding onto my Docs from back in the day! I want to get another pair now😄 Love the og ones with yellow stitching. Cant wait to see which ones you got! Great video dear💕

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Never too late to add a new pair! I'm so torn by my own indecisiveness caused by myself, I may end up keeping 2....or 3....yikes! TFW! ❤️

[@IZEROxCOOLI]

This is why I love in person shopping. Appreciate this video

[@NukaEatsPepeni]

Shoe reviews almost never show you the material of the interior, which is basically the element which makes the difference not only in price but also in how comfortable a pair of shoes is.

[@chrischuuun]

When you pulled out the red lace boots I was dying. So glad you put the boot into existence and we’re able to get that last pair!

[@supremo6415]

IMO, if you really want to own a pair of docs, make sure it's the "Made in England" like the 1460 PASCAL MADE IN ENGLAND CHROMEXCEL BOOTS ($270) or even the 1460 VINTAGE MADE IN ENGLAND LACE UP BOOTS ($230) They're the best of the best!!

[@jorge10928]

The red stitching looks awesome.

[@sarahsackville8112]

You could always "dye" the red stitching around the top of the boot with shoe polish and just keep the red around the sole!

[@mapple126]

My go to pair was the 1460 Pascal. The break in time is just faster to the traditional one

[@Leo-qn5ek]

Just what I needed to see. So difficult to choose. Stick to the iconic or go for an update? Definitely a see what fits decision. Let’s see

[@Javayba7]

The red stitching gives the boot a powerful warrior look.

[@minty512]

definitely keep both! the red stitching on the last pair is so unique :)

[@luxonthebus181]

Great video! I really wanted to watch it when I had time to absorb the info because I have also been stuck in the Doc Marten decision limbo for years. I love these boots on others and I think we would get along together but which ones?!?!?!?!

[@SueMaeEveryday]

I know! I started with the plan for one......i maybe keeping more than one.....😄❤️️ Thanks so much for watching and absorbing!

[@ItsTooLatetoApologize]

I just got my first pair of Dr. Martens too. The Delphine in cherry red Arcadia leather. Love them.

[@Cindy-6791]

Wow, this was exeactly what I needed, thanks! 😀 Recently I bought the boots with 14 eyelets (1B99), in Virginia leather. Wonderfully soft and no need to break in. The only drawback: the zipper is not as handy as I thought it would be, with my high instep it is difficult for me to get in, so every time I am completely untying those laces and tying them again. Not handy if you're in a hurry 🙄 Now I would also like to have a pair with 8 eyelets. My eye fell on the Pascal Virginia, black with yellow stitching or the mono black. I did some searching and comparing and came up with your video, it's great! :-D When you said in your comparison that the mono is actually quite 'ordinary' I started to look at it differently. And you are absolutely right! So the Pascal Virginia with yellow stitching remains 😉 Although I also have doubts about the 1460 Made in England. More expensive, more painful to walk in (I hear from several people) but seems to be better quality. I can't buy them around here and I don't want to buy them online, I really have to try them on in the store, so I'll postpone it for a while 😉 I really like the black with red stitching on you! The Pascals looked a bit large indeed, those with red stitching looked much smaller. After this I'll go to your IG to see which one you chose. Until a few years ago I had the 1460 Smooth Leather in green (such a beautiful colour!), but I thought it looked so clumsy in my EU size 40, so I sold them. Regret it afterwards... I also had the regular Pascals (no Virginia leather), I kept getting blisters in them, so those have been sold as well. I still have the 1461 Virginia, but unfortunately they are a bit too small, my feet have grown a bit, I'll try to sell them soon. I also have the Mary Jane Ina, that is such a nice shoe! Also very comfortable. Anyway, I really 'need' a pair with 8 eyelets; it never stays with 1 pair. Or 2 pairs. Or... 😁😁

[@christinecoco5019]

Just found your channel. You crack me up so much because I completely relate to the indecisiveness and the overthinking of all the details.

[@luxpetite]

I love 90’s fashion and these boots are so classic. 🖤Great review Sue Mae! I feel like I know so much more about Doc Martens after watching this! 😍😘

[@SueMaeEveryday]

I'm a kid of the 90s and loved that DMs never disappeared, but is making a strong come back. Thanks for watching Jamie! ❤️

[@jennifersulucio]

I agree. I wish they just did the red stitching on the sole area. I’m fascinated to see which boot you decide on!!

[@jamieliao2052]

Hi! I was hopping for you to try the "Nappa leather" since that is like an in between the smooth leather and the virgina leather.

[@realhot007]

I still love my Pascal Virginia leather! So comfortable! Glad you made this video! Thanks!!!!

[@SueMaeEveryday]

OMG! It was YOU from IG that made me want to search for DMs again and when you posted that there was no break in time with the Virginia leather, I had to check them out. I tried looking for you on IG, but I couldn't remember who posted! Thank you for watching and subbing and most importantly, introducing me to the Pascals ❤️

[@realhot007]

@@danielafloreslizcano4623 i sized up because i wear thick socks esp on winter. I am usually 7.5 i got 8 and its perfect! I could have done it with 7.5 bc the leather can stretch after a awhile .

[@Bredenise]

Im stuck between those and the 1460 smooth leather

[@heatherybarra267]

I am just as indecisive. I was going to purchase a pair of docs that I was instantly drawn to, but I hesitated and now they're sold out of my size 😭 To add insult to injury, they're $70 off. Dammit.

[@quirmi_6770]

Lot of times when they run out do sixes and need to restock they put them on crazy sales 😭😭 being a smaller size it’s hard when I see the exact pair I want for 70 and they only have 2 sizes

[@fabulousirene]

Omg, I have no clue about this, so great to know. Those boots are totally your style. Thank You so much for sharing darling. Awesome video. Love it❤️

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Thanks for watching Irene! I knew this might not be everyone's style, but I like to bring awareness hahaha ❤️

[@kelliemccann9463]

[@LVluxlife]

The love the first and last pairs. I just bought the 1460 with a double buckle in smooth leather in a size 7 as I wear a 8/8.5.

[@msseptemberlove7311]

I laughed because I am picking my first pair of Docs and I swear I am over thinking it also, hence why I watched this video. I went from 1460 OG to Jadon, to pascal, to Leona, to Bex…ahhhhhhh too many to choose from 😩.

[@starryeyed025]

Ahh thank you so much for this video. So helpful. I’ve wanted Dr. Martens for two decades and I’m finally ready to buy them, but I’m still not sure which ones.

[@mariontia8380]

I had that all black, yes too black. Too serious, too severe. (returned) u know I too was not aware of all the differences till ordered.

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Marion Tia so many choices! ❤️

[@ivanrocha7547]

I just ordered the Red Strip Contrast stitch docs and I can’t waitttt

[@shannons.2920]

When you pulled out the arcadia, I was like oh nooo! That's the hardest leather ever. I've had my cherry arcadia 1490s for over a year and the ankle leather still does not bend much, I'm amazed I broke those in. Luckily my ankle doesn't touch the back of the boot so no pain. But people usually say the smooth leather is really hard but it's nothing compared to the arcadia. Plus the rub off color doesn't rub off prettily in my opinion unless you do it intentionally.

[@sweetnovember15engels61]

That’s me! Idk which ones I want. I’m looking at a white pair of Zavala today!

[@amylawrence9457]

I really liked the red and black ones... They seem to be more personalized for you! If you really liked the Pascal design, you could always return the black ones and just get a different color (They make them in red, by the way!) I have a pair of the 1460 classic that I wear on a motorcycle in the winter time with redhead socks underneath them and my feet stay warm and dry! I originally got that soft leather, the Virginia leather Pascal boot, and returned it because I knew it wouldn't be warm enough but they were oh so comfy! I think I might get a pair of those now just for everyday wear! 😁

[@doughertyscience]

This is a great video. I have the Pascal. I’m a retired high school teacher, sooo, I have pretty bad feet. The Pascals are so comfortable. Last winter I wore them everyday. This year, not so much, just because of Covid. I don’t know why they don’t market these for older people because they are super comfortable and supportive. Thanks for a great video!

[@quirmi_6770]

Depends on your foot shape, I got the og 1460s and my foot shape is like the exact shape, longer and thinner, and I fit like a glove and it just needed to go to my arch

[@seseRod]

You got the best review👏🏻😍 loved it!!

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

That first pair we don't have in the Netherlands. might be is some special version that never came here.. Don't know about that. I wear 38.5 got 39 was huge so I sold it back for cheap so now, I'm waiting to get 38 bc all docs accept the England version comes huge..

[@johnmclean4911]

As soon as I saw your second last pair of boots. The ones with the thinner soul they looked the same style as Redwings lace up work boots.

[@tammyt.b.1078]

I just bought 2 smooth 1460s. I got the ucin leather for the colors. I feel like they are plastic boots with a thin leather lining. They state it's full grain but unless the cow was anemic, there are a lit if layers of leather missing. They are to break in, which would be worth it if the leather was good quality.

[@aprilkok9078]

does the shoes keep you warm in winter? how about walking on icy pavement or during a snowy day? are they anti-slippery and water proof?

The Arcadia Leather is usually kind of a very dark cherry color. I don’t think these Elsham Kensington boots are in Arcadia leather, it just looks like black polished leather to me. Beautiful pair anyway

Haha I agree! I don’t want to pay for blisters lol. How do you like the pascal? Did you get your usual size? I’m a 7.5 in shoes but I get 8 in gym shoes. I ordered an 8 in pascal and just received them, but they feel a little lose with thick socks. Im thinking of ordering 7 but not sure if they will work lengthwise.

[@amandamejia7737]

@@loren3220 yes. I ordered my regular shoe size. Also I realized that wearing strictly cotton socks that aren’t soft make putting on your shoes hell. Regardless of thickness a smooth sock makes putting your shoes in so much easier. I haven’t gotten a blister at all and I love them.

[@loren3220]

@@amandamejia7737 I ended up going to a Marten store to try a smaller size and Omg they were a lot smaller!!! too short and tight. Stayed with my original size and and put a thin insole and just wear thick socks to make them snugger. They feel good and I love them! And yeah it’s annoying to get them on without smooth socks. I got used to putting them on fast already. I also tried the stiffer material and I’m very happy with the soft leather! They were too stiff for me so I won’t be buying them ever 😆!!!!

Hi, I really enjoyed your video I have always liked Doc Martins but wasn't sure about spending the money or what style to go for. My youngest sister got a plain pair for Christmas last year and it had got me thinking I really wanted a pair too I had no idea about the types of leather used, so your video was really informative I like a pair of floral pascal myself and will be looking into buying some I really liked both your picks and prefer the red stitching pair Who says you can't have both?!!!

Those red stitch Docs are super cool. I would have returned all of them and get the real Dr martens "Made in England" they are pricier for a reason. Nothing compares to it... those are the ones that will last you decades. None of the other Docs made in other countries will last with regular wear/abuse. Also for the yellow stitching using some black shoe shine you can easily paint it black :)
