faithful

They've seen some action, but then they are currently the oldest pair in the stable.

[Sarah Munnings]

Love all my DMs. Some are as battered as yours. The starkness of the b&w shows their grunginess

[Shanne]

Those are cool. I'm another one who loves DMs, unsurprisingly as my avatar is an old now dead pair of DMs. I need to break the new pair in as I'm going through the soles of the current pair (did that to the last pair too)

[haskar]

And still ready to go.

[Sally Ings]

Look comfortable, well used and well loved. DMs are not readily available in South Africa and if you do find some you need a bank loan to purchase them!

[Graeme Stevens]

@salza They're very comfortable - so much so that I think I might need another pair...
@haskar Always...
@shannejw I only have 5 pairs left so I think I might be due a new pair as well.
@pixiemac Me too...wouldn't be without them...

[Yao RL]

I know this pair, still in good condition.

[Joan Robillard]

Well done

[Lee]

The toe on the left boot looks like it's had much more action than the right one. Just as well they can't talk, what a tale they'd tell.

[Suzanne]

Stompingly good shot

[Paul]

Nothing like a good comfortable well worn pair of boots :)

[Kas]

..and no doubt could tell a story or two if only they could talk!

[Graeme Stevens]

@wag864 Lets hope they never develop that ability...
@paul10 True...but I still get disappointed when they finally give out...
@suzanne234 Thank you very much :)
@gamelee It's been up to all sort that left one...
@joansmor Thank you very much :)
@yaorenliu They have a bit of life in them yet...

[Walks @ 7]

Saw a pair of DM's come through the thrift shop (where I volunteer) recently. Immediately checked to see if they were my guys size, nope! Hopefully they will find a good and loving home like yours have.

[Graeme Stevens]

@joysabin Doc's in need of a home??? Gasp!

[Marnie]

Just love Doc's, but haven't yet bought a pair. Will try to remedy that next winter.

[Tabbycat]

Lol. I knew this was ur image the minute I saw it! It likes the boots it does 😜

[Graeme Stevens]

@tabbycat Dammit, typecast again ;)
@golftragic Gasp. Audible gasp even.

[Pat Knowles]

Still in good nick though! You can never have too many boots!

[Karly]

I always think I'm seeing one of my tribe when someone goes clunking by in a pair of these! Great shot - the white works perfectly - Fav.

[Graeme Stevens]

@365karly1 Me too...my people :)
@happypat They're bearing up well

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Battered shoes are the best!

[Graeme Stevens]

@overalvandaan That they are :)

[Richard Sayer]

And all that was left when the smoke cleared was his boots... and a faint smell of scorched flesh!

[Graeme Stevens]

@vignouse You would think I would have learned by now...

[Junko Y]

But the battered are the most comfy, right? I have a stable of hiking shoes!

[Graeme Stevens]

@jyokota So very comfortable...

[Junko Y]

@graemestevens -- someone asked me at a restaurant dinner tonight why was wearing hiking shoes, whether I had just come back from a hike -- and I simply stated, they're comfortable.

[Graeme Stevens]

@jyokota More people need to do that...I pride myself on wearing clothes that may not look the best but a) they're comfortable and b) the cover the bits that were naked.

[Junko Y]

@graemestevens -- comfort reigns in all decisions! :) When I was a professor, on teaching/meeting days I wore a suit in the 1990s. But on days when I really need to get a lot of work done, I wore "serious work clothes" -- comfy from head to toe.
