Dr Marten Boots

My DD has some new DMs that have ripped her feet to shreds. At the moment she is refusing to wear them and I am refusing to buy her anything else until she agrees to wear them in. I wear them intermittently to try to help wearing them in but she is 2 shoe sizes bigger than me.
I got my first pair of DMs at 16 and wore them for the first time at an all day festival. I have never experienced pain/blisters like it.
Tell DD that it DOES get better and that once they are broken in (thick socks and plasters on the ankles much easier than wee
) they will be the best shoes she ever owned. Mine finally died this year after 15 years. 0 -
I've got a pair of reinforced toe DM's and have had this pair for about 8 years now and wear them as my main form of footwear.
I don't have any trouble driving in them but seeing as though the boots I had before these were German para boots they are positively dainty :rotfl:
They do take a bit of breaking in but once you've got them to fit you then they are fab.

It may also depend on the car, I usually wear very light flexible shoes. I was quite surprised when I realised I couldn't drive my OH's car in boots - my boots are physically too wide to only fit on a single pedal without catching the adjacent pedal(s)
HTH
This sounds like the most likely scenario. My dad always wore DMs and he never had a problem driving, even when they were new.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
