Everyone wears shoes. They are associated to a lot of different styles, and they are shared by the people of that community. I have made many friends just by wearing my Dr. Marten boots. I first discovered them from this punk I met at radio. He told me how they were made in England with bouncing soles, and that they became very popular during the punk scene in the late 80s. Metal was always more my style, but I did like a few punk bands. I figured it wouldn’t be too bad if I bought a pair. A couple of months later, I started to realize that these boots were more than just music. I noticed that the love for “docs’ was shared within street fashion. Not only did I meet many musicians because of these boots, but I also met many artists. I never thought that a shoe could have so much impact on my life. It has become the highlight piece in my wardrobe, and it seems the more scuffed up my boots get, the more compliments I get on them.
