DMs and you!

First pair of DM's were 8-Hole black ones when I was in secondary school & I still have & wear them now.
My second pair were like these ones:

My best mate "borrowed" them and still has not returned them to me... :mad::rolleyes:

I would like a pair of the 20-eye boots in black.

Oooooooooooooh! I like them!

I need some good quality flat shoes.

I bet they're leather though :(


I was very pleased to get some plastic DM boots about 1993. My friend put in some birthday money - they cost £45 being the most expensive footwear I've ever had.

However, they're still going strong. Wore them first time in ages a few weeks ago with the snow, forgot how comfy they were.
 
Apart from a few forays in to paraboots DMs are pretty much all I've worn for the last 30 years and in that time I've probably only got through about ten pairs. That works out about £20 a year for footware at today's prices :cool:

Having only size 8 footsies I can buy the women's ones in soft leather so I don't have to break them in :) Current pair are pink ones dyed black which are scuffing to a nice pink / black marbled effect :)

i popped my DM cherry today!!!!! got myself some shimmer purple docs from shuh :D
 
1st pair were a 20 hole steel toe capped black pair, bought from the DM shop in Camden town- this was when I was 14 -so 1983-much to my mothers distress:D

Ive had various pairs over the years my fave are a pair of DM Chelsea boots:cool:
 
I used to wear black 1490s (10 hole) all the time. To me they were the best looking of the lot. Now I don't wear them; 10s are too small, 11s too big :(

I worked at the Manchester DMs shop, so got two free pairs a year until it closed down about six years ago.
 
I had these....

I wore those in black (school uniform restriction) when I was 12 or so.

When I was 15 I had some black and red boots. The first wave of german exchanges were quite into DM's (cheaper here). My exchange bought green ones so I dyed some of her hair green to match and then her mates who had bought red and blue also dyed matching streaks in their hair. :cool:
Mine are in the bottom of the wardrobe actually I've not worn them since glastonbury '98. They still have mud on them.
 
black ten holes with flowers and stuff painted on them. i also replaced the laces with electric blue ribbons
