Today is just a quick post because I start school tomorrow (thursday) after the summer and I kind of need to prepare myself for that. A new school year for me normally means new school shoes so today I will share with you the pair which I have got this year.
They are the doc martens GORMY shoe in black and I love them so so so much :)
I got them at the weekend from Gunwharf Quays outlet shopping centre in Portsmouth and as it is a outlet dr. martens store it meant that the shoes and boots had been reduced in price as they were either from previous seasons, didn't sell or had slight factory faults. My shoes were brand new and had been reduced down from £100 to £50 WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! That is the same price as ones I would get from clarks which need replacing every year so it is great for doc martens as I know that they will last me for years (especially as my feet have stopped growing now.) They have very strong soles with lots of grip and made from high quality materials.
I also love them because I don't just have to wear them at school, I have worn them ever since I got them. The first couple of days they did rub on my ankles a little bit but that is just because they were brand new and needed to be broken in and I'm glad that I got past the worst bit at home rather than hobbling around at school. I just simply wear them with dresses, skirts or jeans rolled up to my ankle with white socks.
I have them in a size 3 which is a good shoe size to be because it normally means there are quite a few left over as it isn't a very popular shoe size for a 15 year old so I was easily able to find a pair in my size.
In the outlet store they also had black lace up shoes like the dr martens 1461 shoe however I preferred this style with the buckle as it reminds me of the shoes I used to wear at first school and I think they suit me better than the lace up ones. I also love the yellow stitch detailing which is familiar to most doc martens.
(Unfortunately as these were from the outlet store they are no longer available online but the polley shoe is very similar with the buckle.)
