Dr. Martens Women's 1460 Boot

0 comments
Some people scoff, they say $100 + for boots, no way, too expensive! I have been wearing DR's for 10 years, and nothing else. Why? Because nothing holds up like DR. Martins.



Oddly my first pair ever fell apart after a couple of weeks, the stiching just fell out, but I exchanged them and have never had that problem since.



The average pair last me 2 - 3 years of everyday, non-stop wear. I where them all year around, on the sales floor, wharehouse or office, and everywhere I go. They will not come apart!



I only get new ones when the old ones look worn and stretched, and when the soles start to wear smooth (14 - 18 months of 8 - 14hr / day wear, seven days a week!) and then I keep the old pair for another 14 - 18 months for working outside or any dirty job I have to do where I don't want to damage my good pair.



I got married in DR. Martins, pollished with a new double-breasted suite! They look great with everything! Jeans, cargos, Dress clothes, shorts! I bought my wife a pair of dress sandles nearly three years ago, they still look like brand new!



These boots are forever.

EMU Australia Women's Hip Boot

0 comments
I love these boots for my wide calves! I have Uggs and Chookas, and both fit too snugly to easily fit jeans inside. But since these boots wrap and tie, I am able to slide jeans in with no problem. It's not just the side opening that's helpful for wearing them this way. Overall, they seem to be a more generous fit through the upper foot, ankle, and calf. The only downside to this is that my size 8 feet are a little small for the size 8 boots I got. But the great color, fun ties, and high quality sheepskin merino and outsole more than make up for it! A great boot at a great price. I am going to buy my sister a pair!

These are better than both pair of Uggs I own. They are half the price I paid for my Uggs. The quality is equal. The sizing is far better with less confusion. Order your regular size. These do NOT run almost two sizes large as Uggs do. This style is absolutely hot with pants or without'em. (On the leg) if you have an average calf, these do not close from about half way up. If you want a long full coverage boot, this is not for you.


I`m not a big fan of that kind of shoes but ordered them because they looked comfy and warm - perfect for winter everyday shoes. And I wasn`t disappointed - great looking, real merino wool, suede upper... But they run the whole size bigger, i got size 8 (i`m usually 8,5) but i`d better ordered 7.
