I bought shoes in the States over Christmas (Chaps, American ones) and they are complete shit. They've already started to lose their heels. Luckily, in the UK, you can still get shoes repaired, but it's going to be like £15. Screw that, I thought. I've learned my lesson: No more cheap shoes. So back to the Doc Martens, I think. I had my Doc boots for four years. Wore them every day. Let's hope these bad boys do the same for me.
