They do look good, but i don't like the feel of the leather....

Aren't they though?!!

Mine didn't take too long to "de-squeak" (I always feel a bit self-conscious if you're in a quiet place and you creak).
I got some New Auth Wedge calf-length boots from the Doc's site the other week and they are sooo comfortable.

Squeaked around Tesco tonight in them.....the place was empty and the squeaking could be heard all over the shop!!

They are the dogs though!

Lovely! I haven't cleaned mine since SBE2 when those strange stains appeared. Souvenirs, if you like!

Yeah me too mate - can't really bring myself to buy anything else.

Remember FAS (Famous Army Stores)? Used to buy me docs there.

Never heard of them to be honest - it was always a local shop (for local people) on the Lisburn Road called Moores - everyone at school bought their Docs there (it was only across the road from the main gates). Sadly closed down recently as it was only a family run shop.

Last pair I bought (well they were a Chrimbo pressie last year) were from The Doc Shop in Belfast City Centre.

Always need to try my boots on before shelling out the hard earned - would never consider buying on-line or mail-order.

I remember the last pair I ever bought with "Made In England" on them and thinking I shoulda kept them really

First time I've bought boots/shoes on-line but I can trust Docs sizes. They fit fine. I could've tried them in a shop first to make sure they were OK and then just buy the same pair on-line cheaper in the sale, but I've not seen them anywhere. Any other make, then I wouldn't risk it.
