So it has come to this. Dr Marten’s Boots are being “de-emphasized”<\/a> by their makers in favour of wussy, friendlier styles<\/a>. Prozac gets part of the blame, apparently. Bye bye <\/a>Docs<\/a>, we hardly knew ye<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think Alexie Sayle<\/a> put it best in the Young <\/a>Ones<\/a> when he sang…<\/p>\n

It’s not class or ideology,
\nColor, creed, or roots
\nThe only thing that unites us
\nIs Dr. Marten’s boots<\/p>\n

Dr. Marten’s boots of the world
\nSo that everybody can be free
\nThey’re classless, matchless, ageless and waterproof
\nAnd retail for only 19 pounds and 99p<\/p>\n

What should everyone be wearing?
\nThose boots with the air-flow soles
\nAnd your boots will have a meeting
\nAnd your boots will take control<\/p>\n

Thanks to Dr. Marten everyone will have warm feet
\nThanks to Dr. Marten they’ll be dancing in the street
\nNo. Don’t You Want Me.
\nOK, Boots. Do your stuff!<\/p>\n

Dr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s boots!
\nDr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s boots!
\nDr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s, Dr. Marten’s boots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
