New Store: Dr. Martens

A new shoe store graces our fair city!  Yay!  Recently opened at 1710 Walnut is a new Dr. Martens store—the only Dr. Martens store in the greater PA/NJ area, in fact!  (The next nearest is NYC.  Other stores between there and here carry their shoes, of course, but there isn’t a whole dedicated store!  We’re special.)

Let’s start with a classic Doc Martens silhouette:

The Vintage 1490 is what comes to mind when you think of Dr. Martens: Quilon leather (a reissue of their original leather from back in the day), Goodyear-welted, yellow stitching.  No wonder it’s been around so long!  Also available in burgundy; yours for $210.

The classic has been updated a bit since then as well:

While it has a lot of the same style as the 1490, the Regina is a whole new animal!  A bit of a heel, some nice punch detailing... and, of course, the black and white leopard print upper!  Rawr.  Yours for $230.

Not yet girly enough for you?

Yowza!  Look at the stiletto on the Kimora!  It also comes in a lovely brown, and (although it doesn’t seem to be on the website at this moment) black studded with rhinestones.  (It’s in this month’s Where magazine, I promise!  It's called the Zita, and it’s gorgeous.  I can't seem to find it online anywhere, but why would Where lie to me?!  I will find you, fabulous boots!!!)  Pick up a pair for $190.

Okay, enough boots.  Time for shoes!

How sleek are these?!  The Nevena has a stacked stiletto, leather outer (of course) and lining, zipper up the back, and buckle that crosses it.  I just love that little buckle.  Comes in black too!  Yours for $170.

And to finish, a not-so-classic oxford:

It’s bright pink!  The 1461 is bright pink all over—even the sole.  Even the laces!  This is not for the faint of heart, maybe; but if your heart is strong they can be yours for $110.  Pink not your thing?  It also comes in black, zebra, purple, yellow, silver, printed in floral patterns... take your pick.

The Doctor is in—be sure you don’t miss your appointment!
