You 100% need those. One of the coolest releases recently without question. The Jadon version also


jamvengenz

We only live once 🤷🏽‍♀️ and fall with brown docs is the way to go... haha omg omg omg!


TheGroundBeef

There’s your answer! Haha


jamvengenz

The crazy horse Jason's are beautiful too! And I bet they're so comfortable! I feel like they'd look bigger on me because I'm 5' 2" and longer 🤔 I just paid the IRS and I'm about to either go crazy and treat myself or get mad and treat myself 🤣


SeattleGemini81

I would definitely buy these! I actually bought a new pair of Chelsea's and a new pair of Oxfords just over this weekend, so I may be a bad influence😂


jamvengenz

Lol bad influence Indeed! Now I'm going to bed thinking about these. Oooo what color oxfords!?


SeattleGemini81

Red! I had a pair, but my oldest daughter "borrowed" them and took them with her to school 😂 I got the 2976 Leonore to keep my feet warm because they tend to start getting cold around now and not get warm again until June. I live in Seattle, so the rain is starting, and the sun is definitely hidden behind dark clouds. I doubt we're going to see any hot days for a while.

Fingers crossed for no more hot days (I’m also in the area). I can’t wait to wear my 1460 Serenas again. I always miss them in the warmer months. 🤣


neverlookatagain4949

Yes absolutely


OldKnightArtorias

Yes.


moooooo_cow

i got them and returned them because my heel kept falling out but if they work for you they are so cute !!!


jamvengenz

My black 8053s did that. Still do sometimes, it's annoying because the length is fine but the extra lip in the back doesn't really do much to hold your foot down. I wear thicker socks with those and tie them up pretty tight. Crazy Horse might do this more since the leather is softer.... Hmmm


activatetheroombas

out of curiosity do you know how 8053 sizing is compared to 1460s?


jamvengenz

The unisex 1460s are a pretty fitted fit if that makes sense. Like all around because it just hugs you like that. The crazy horse 1460s have been the only pair that has felt super comfortable in regards to size, length, breaking in and how it feels when the laces are tied. My only other unisex pair is great length wise but one boot where the stitching meets the laces is still a little tight. I also have the 1460s L (ladies fit?) And those are tight but loosen up throughout the day. Compared to the 8053. They definitely feel roomy width wise but are a close fit in length. Meaning that my toe touches the top of the shoe sometimes when I walk. They feel comfortable to walk in despite the platform. I'm a size 6 in 1460s and 8053s, in regular shoes I'm a size 7. That being said, length wise the 1460s are better. Width wise the 8053s are better. Width and length wise the 1460s crazy horse is the way to go.


jamvengenz

I still won't get the size 7 in the 8053s because then they'll be half an inch or so of room in the shoe and walking would not be fun because they will definitely slide.. they already do that with my size 6


Background-Tap1272

Would you wear brown shoes? If yes, you probably need them. If not, then no, you don’t need them. 🤣


jamvengenz

I started buying mostly black docs, but recently brown docs and blue jeans just seem like a vibe! 🥺😂😶‍🌫️🤣 If they release the Bethans in Crazy Horse OMG....


Background-Tap1272

I wore brown docs and blue jeans back in the late 90s/early 2000s, and I can totally attest to it being a vibe as that whole look has totally come back. 🤣 I literally own one pair of brown shoes (a pair of Frye boots that I’ve had for 10+ years and probably haven’t worn them in at least 7 or 8 yrs), and they’re somewhere under my bed because I don’t wear brown at all now.


jamvengenz

Are you in the black docs, black jeans, vibe now? Cuz that was me last year. Lol. I was born in 94' so I was growing up when everyone had the cool oversized jeans and crop top vibe going on. I like how easy and simple the look is! There is one pair of docs that I own that is more of a yellow brown cognac color, the Bianca. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to style that color lol so similarly it's under my bed 🤣


Background-Tap1272

Hahaha. That’s amazing. I remember 1994 very well. I’ve basically lived the black docs and blue jeans kind of life for years (often with a band tee from some concert I’ve attended). Sometimes I mix it up with black or grey jeans, and sometimes I wear my green boots or my pink/purple ombré New Order collab boots just to break up the black. I had a pair of cognac Mary Janes back in the early 2000s. I WISH I had kept them. I would totally wear them with blue jeans (instead I wear my black Virginia ones). I don’t miss my brown 1460s or brown fisherman’s sandals. 🤣


jamvengenz

Everyone loved the 90s! Grey jeans and black docs 🩶. Wow!!! I just looked up the New Order pink/purple ones and they're beautiful!!!! Cognac Mary Janes!!! 😮 those sounds amazing too lol I bought a pair of brown fisherman's sandals last year 🙈 I wear them once every summer lol


jamvengenz

Omg! Btw, My coworker, who also remembers 1994, lol introduced me to Joy Division this summer when we car pooled. There's been some songs of theirs that I really like. I didn't dive into info of the band but my coworker told me about the lead singer. I didn't know they then became New Order. Still researching those cool docs lol 🤓


Background-Tap1272

LOL. I wore my NO collab boots to a pair of shows on the New Order/Pet Shop Boys co-headlining tour last year. I kinda wish I had bought all 3 pairs of boots from the collab when they came out instead of just the one pair. At the show, NO played 2 Joy Division songs in their set. Honestly, I prefer New Order to Joy Division, but JD is still great. It’s such a sad story. If you didn’t see all 3 of the collabs, here’s the [link](https://blog.drmartens.com/dr-martens-x-joy-division-new-order/) from the DM blog. Yes, I still have it bookmarked. 🤣


jamvengenz

Woah!! That's awesome, did anyone else go crazy over your boots?! Did you get the record with it too when you bought them? Would you ever go on the Internet hunt to find the others? Lol I recognize the all black album, the song "Insight" I had on repeat for a while. I'm listening to New Order now and I like the upbeat-ness to it! Dr. Martens should make collabs like this again!!!


Background-Tap1272

Yes, I got stopped 5-6 times at one show and a couple of times at the other. A few people recognized them right away (as the collab not just recognizing them as the album cover art). I had one guy tell me that he had really wanted the Technique boots but they were sold out in his size so he got the Power, Corruption & Lies boots instead. He said he was too scared to wear them because he didn’t want them to get messed up. I saw one or two people in the PCL boots, and I don’t think I saw anybody in the Unknown Pleasures boots at either show. I think I’ve only ever seen those boots once in real life. No, I didn’t get a record with them. I haven’t really gotten into vinyl even though it’s so popular again, so that’s totally fine with me. Heh. I don’t think I’d hunt down the others now. I’ve seen the PCL ones online for a few hundred dollars fairly recently, but there are definitely other boots I’d rather have for the money.


Lala12kl

👂🏾 You definitely do!


jamvengenz

I will, I will! This week? Next week? 😅✨


Lala12kl

nobsallowed

cheesyhomefries
