They are on sale I what I believe is called a pop up store.

Batsman got DM shoes for $70, bought Birks for 30. Also Cat and Harley.

Oh and leather chaps for those biker moments.

DM's readily available in Red Deer, and we don't get anything cool usually lol

They are here, just the prices were low. The birks I got are fake but ok for round the house.

Hey I work just around the corner from the Whitby Mall :-)

(not that you wanted to know lol)

I'm quite happy to have that info thanks. I head there quite often to go to the art store opposite. I feel a coffee coming on.

Are they real Docs?

$70 seems very low. They are about £90 in the UK and far more expensive here, from what I've seen.

They'll be Chinese ones. No "Made in England" on the sole.

All the local Teddy Boys will be flocking down to the place.

They had "Made in England" on them and certainly seem pukka.

Bargain then. If you're in Whitby.

Next you will be looking for a Ben Sherman shirt and a Crombie coat or Harrington jacket with a royal Stuart lining.
Are they cherry red docs or black with the yellow stitching?

They not just stylish, they’re practical and they give a quiet middle-aged two fingered salute to the establishment. That's one in the eye for Thatcher.

And we were. It surprised me to learn they are making Doc Martens in England again. Not often manufacture gets moved back.

They weren't for me, I am clumsy and trip over the soles. That and that I was never a skinhead. Hippie far out peace stuff for me.

I have a pair of DMs with 4 inch stilletto heels, and the air ware sole. They're my favourite pair of shoes. They were significantly more expensive - around $150 IIRC, but they are boss.
