Docs

As anyone who knows me will attest, not only am I a snappy dresser, I am also an arbiter of high-fashion.

So, I declare now, for all who see this blog to know, that I am singlehandedly responsible for the resurgence in the popularity of Dr. Martens footwear -- especially since I got my new pair of boots last week (8 Eyelet Boot Leather: Greasy is a full-grain leather with integral oiling which gives the surface an oily feel and robust nature).


Okay, I know, I'm giving myself far too much credit, even though I've worn Docs for the last twelve years of my life. There is no way I could ever be responsible for a fashion trend. Contrary to what I wrote above, if anything, I'm anti-fashion trends. This might be one reason why I still wear Docs a decade after they allegedly became passé.

But in the past two weeks I've seen Docs on more people than I have have in the past two to three years. And why not? They're comfortable (once you break 'em in, that is), and always stylish with that yellow stitching, the Air Wair tags, and the air-cushion sole. They're even still a little (dare I say it?)... edgy.

And perfect for winter in New York City.
