Shin Dig by graemestevens

Shin Dig

I've done it again and gone colour. Tonight we're off out to a soiree - the type of event where I, god help everyone else, has to give a speech. These are the boots I'll be wearing because what is life without Doc Martens?
Clever ploy... they'll be so diverted by your low-key boots that they won't be concentrating on your spiel! Good Luck anyway.
February 26th, 2016  
@vignouse That's the plan - as you can imagine the speech is liberally strewn with casual insults so any distraction is welcome.

I so want to fav the picture for both it's rebel/punk spirit as well as it's photographic brilliance, but as an Irish man I am unable to favour the union jack, can't even use capitals. As regards your speaking duties, I bet your eloquence is as good verbalised as it is written.
February 26th, 2016  
you are forgiven
February 26th, 2016  
soiree is party isn't it? And party means wine, doesnt it? I'm still wearing my dr martins boots, they're old, the sole is almost gone, but just can't throw them away. good luck woth the official bit!

@jack4john you've got a very good point there.
February 26th, 2016  
Love it!
February 26th, 2016  
@jack4john i wanted to add where is the union with an also unwilling Wales and Independent Scotland, but didn't want to hijack the conversation :-)
February 26th, 2016  
I have a pink velvet pair myself. Hope your speech is as impressive as your boots. :)
February 26th, 2016  
That is just one awesome pair of Docs... I knew you had several but not like that :) Best of luck with the speech. The luck is for your audience as well...
February 26th, 2016  
Wow, that's quite a pair!
February 27th, 2016  
What an amazing pair of Boots. So British!!! A FAV
February 27th, 2016  
Sweet dr martens!
February 27th, 2016  
Sweet. Shot! Cool boots!
February 27th, 2016  
Love my docs, but yours are just kill in' it...awesome!
February 27th, 2016  
@overalvandaan we are all Cultic soul brothers and sisters. But really I'm more interested in inclusion. Docs rock and So does Graeme,
February 27th, 2016  
perfect technique all round
February 27th, 2016  
Those are rally cool....worth the color, right?
February 27th, 2016  
Fantastic. Fav.
February 27th, 2016  
@jack4john If it's any comfort to you, I'm half Scottish and half Irish. About 6 years ago I stood in Scotland and urinated into England...
@northy Thank goodness for that, I've been so worried ;)
@overalvandaan It is a party and there will be wine...and all my other docs are starting to get a bit down at heel, but they're just far too comfortable...
@swillinbillyflynn That sounds like something I'd wear as well - I have several other pairs, red, cherries, blues, suede
@kerosene I think the audience will need the luck, and thank you :)
@vera365 They certainly get a bit of attention...
@777margo Thank you very much :)
@radiogirl Thank you kindly :)
@nanderson Thank you very much on both counts!
@juleshoogstraanderson I love them too - I have a few other pairs but I think these are my favourite
@jack4john Oh stop, you'll make me blush
@carla42 Thank you very much indeed, far too kind!
@homeschoolmom Thanks very much and yeas, for these colour is th only option.
@epcello Thank you very much :)
February 27th, 2016  
well that is just a flash of red right there. would like to be a robotic fly-sized snoop on the wall
February 27th, 2016  
I have a nephew-in-law that would be very envious of these.. he has several pairs in different colours.. the red ones are a favourite...
February 27th, 2016  
Kick it, with both feet. :).
February 27th, 2016  
Docs are cool unto themselves but these babies are just in a category all alone. Color usage forgiven.
February 27th, 2016  
Awesome boots!
February 27th, 2016  
Cool
February 27th, 2016  
Great shot!
February 27th, 2016  
Mmmmm, those babies are uber-cool. Definitely need colour. Don't stress about the speech, everyone will be far too pre-occupied admiring your stunning footwear.
February 27th, 2016  
So per on the white. Patriotic too!
February 27th, 2016  
Super. Not so per. Hate autocorrect.
February 27th, 2016  
Color. Wait. Whaaa?
Cool.
February 27th, 2016  
love these. just bought myself another pair - not union jack ones though! hope the speech goes well :-)
February 27th, 2016  
If you speak as well as you write I'd love to have attended. You do rock colour. I loved my cherry doc martins of my youth. Happy memories!
February 27th, 2016  
@newbank Thanks very much - I find that I have to have docs in my life
@jaynspain Thanks very much - I have 4 pairs, would love more
@aikiuser Yeah...sorry ;)
@taffy I detest auto correct - always have to check twice ;)
@golftragic That's the whole idea - any distraction will do
@nikharris Thanks very much :)
@pdulis Thank you kindly :)
@redy4et Thanks very much :)
@joysabin Thank you very much - I have to admit, they're my favourite pair
@rosiekerr Always ;)
@julzmaioro Several pairs here as well but these would be the favourites
@kali66 It is indeed a flash of red...you're very astute ;)

February 27th, 2016  
How very cool :)
February 27th, 2016  
Those are actually pretty cool looking boots
February 27th, 2016  
Must take you weeks to polish them!! Rule Britannia.
February 27th, 2016  
and you are not really going to kick someone in the shins with them are you?
February 27th, 2016  
@kali66 Good lord no, one doesn't want to soil ones boots ;)
@365projectorgsebgritt Polish? I've never touched them with a cloth or brush...
@blueberry1222 Thank you kindly, incredibly comfortable as well.
@hermann Thanks very much :)

@alinz I haven't watched that for years now...
February 28th, 2016  
Well I have never had any Doc Martens,, and life has been OK! But presented like this I might have to consider my clear prejudice against them. Mind, i would need a complete new outfit to match!
February 28th, 2016  
@yrhenwr There's nothing wrong with a spot of shopping...
February 29th, 2016  
Very cool Docs dude :)
