#doc martens
I own 33 pairs of shoes, and I’m doing my best to minimize my “collection” and I’m also swearing off buying a new pair of shoes in 2020.
Today’s shoes are the Doctor Marten’s.
Doc’s last forever, they will never die and they only need very minimal maintenance. As you can see from all three of the leather pairs, I’m very good at kicking things while wearing them, as the toes are pretty well scuffed up, but they’re all still great winter wear shoes, keep the wet and cold out, and doing this reminded me to hit them up with some balm. The red canvas boys were bought specifically for a Euro trip back in 2017.
The White 1460 Doc Marten’s I originally bought for work, and wore them for about half the season, in the spring and fall when the weather was chilly. My work is not designed to destroy and dirty shoes, but operating diesel vehicles will do this, so that’s why they’re so peppered in scuffs and black marks. I don’t think I’ve worn these in a couple years now as there hasn’t been much of a need for me to leave the house in the winter, and a couple years ago I tried selling them on the FB marketplace with no luck. I’m contemplating giving these up for donation, but for now, in New England, there’s no such thing as not enough boots.
The 3-Eye Doc’s are somewhere around 6 or 7 years old, and I call them my ankle biters, as the first few times they’re worn, they just chew your ankles apart. Once they’re worn in, like they are now, they’re incredibly comfortable, and are great for rainy days to keep the wet out. These are the most well worn of the three, but they’re still in very good shape. I haven’t worn these in a few years as well, except I think to a formal event where they were the only “polishable” shoes I had. Even though these are in wearable condition, I’m going to donate these while they still have life in them.
The 1460. The classic all black, yellow stitching on the sole, simple and trustworthy. I’ve owned these for who actually knows how long now. These were originally bought for my dad are you ready for this: In 2001. These are 19 year old boots. My oldest sister worked at a shoe store going out of business, so she bought us all boots at like 90% off and these went to dad. My dad didn’t like them, not his thing (which was weird, because he loved his Wolverines). They sat in his closet for well over 10 years until they were handed over to me sometime around 2012. My old Doc Marten’s that my sister bought me in 2001, went away, and hot swapped them for these. These were my go to for winter snow removal, but honestly I don’t think I’ve put these on since that crazy winter in 2015.
The Red Canvas Doc’s are one of their newer styles, and I was intrigued by the thinner sole on the shoe. I think it’s the classic complaint about the Doc if you haven’t worn them before or in a while, same as any chunky soled boot: they’re heavy. The thin sole on the red canvas Doc’s was a nice change of pace, and they’re just as comfortable as the big boot, and these were stuck to my feet on my spouse and I’s engagement trip to Greece in 2017. I sprayed them with some of the waterproofing stuff too, and they were great at keeping the wet out when it poured rain on us at Delphi. I still wear these a few times a year, they’re super comfortable.
Shoes number 11, 12, 13, and 14 of 33.

This is my Mutt! There are many like it but this one is mine!
I’ve always wanted to ride a motorcycle. Ever since I was a kid watching Masked Rider (Kamen Rider) I wanted to be able to ride and be a hero. This only became more prevalent growing up. Terminator 2, The Great Escape, The Walking Dead; my life has been littered with heroic characters on two wheels!
There’s something effortlessly cool…
A few weeks ago something new and interesting came across my feed.
IKEA had just dropped a collection called SPÄNST. A new, more gritty and urban collaboration made in conjunction with Chris Stamp of Stampd.
When I first saw the product range show up on my news feed I was instantly excited by certain items such as the shoe/skateboard rack and the mesh wardrobe. The whole range has this post industrial aesthetic to is that suits my tastes perfectly.

Finally getting to see the range in person at my local Ikea store was great. I can never tell if I really like an item til I see it in person, and I was very impressed.
I ended up leaving the store with the skateboard under my arm that day. Its very different from boards I had when I was younger I rode a narrow deck board with fairly hard, narrow wheels that were great for park riding but not much else. This SPÄNST board however is a fairly wide, cruiser type board. The wheels are massive, wide and soft. The combination actually makes for a really smooth ride.

The board graphics are actually really interesting. A white and black marble effect print on the underside, the longditude and latitude co-ordinates of the first Ikea store and the first Stampd store and emblazoned on the sidewalls of the wheels as well as in a cutaway on the griptape near the tail end of the board.
As I mentioned earleir there are so many items from this range that I’d love to get. as of July I’ll be in a nice new space and hopefully that’ll mean another trip to IKEA where I can pick up a few of the LED light sticks to make an interesing ambient light installation out of!

I’ve been really satisfied with my style lately. I’m either swanning around in lace two pieces or being grungy and comfy at uni.
I’m super obsessed with my leather jacket and new three hole doc martens. Aaaaah I’m so happy it’s getting cold in Melbourne!
