All i have ever wanted was a pair of docs. i found these and i was madly in love with them. For my 18th birthday my dad said i could have any pair i wanted and i picked these. i LOVE them. They took a while to break in, but now that they are broken in i LOVE them. i wear them everyday to school (of which i stand all day 40 hours a WEEK.) i whole heartedly recommend these boots.
