I want some DM's

I want these

Thinking ahead, I am in the market for a good quality pair of shoes with winter in mind and now with sales there could be a bargain to be made for those who shop around.

 

I know what I would like, a pair of DM’s, but crumbs the cost. There is always a pair of Brogues and Loafers to tickle my fancy but they are just as pricey but my heart is set on DM’s. No £7.99 specials from Shoe Zone for my tired old feet anymore they need some quality in their old age.

 

No need to trudge from shop to shop with the internet the world is out there although a wander around town would be much more enjoyable.

 

DM’s first came to my attention down Ninian Park; skinheads were wearing them the boots not shoes. The shoe version was soon becoming popular in school but at the time, I was in platforms followed by a pair of rip off Brogues. I can remember the year I bought my first DM’s and remember where and how I paid for them. It was before the summer of 1976 I was just about to leave school and mum said I would need a new pair of shoes for upcoming job interviews. Of course, with money tight at home, what I had to spend was not enough so I would have to hit the bank of Nan for a top-up.

 

The more hard-core mainly skinheads would go for the 14-holed boots which must have been a nightmare to lace up remember it was a time the police would order anyone who looked menacing to take them off. Then you had the 10, 8 and 3 the shoe, I had a pair of the eights in ox-blood, which I bought in a shop come warehouse just around the corner from the back entrance of Woolworths in my home town of Cardiff. Not the best ‘shoes’ for an interview but I didn’t care I could polish up my school shoes.

 

No more studding the soles of my shoes which made you sound like a women in high heels walking along with DM’s you your in stealth mode how with my air-cushioned sole boots.

 

These days I prefer the shoe it goes with my age so I am in the market for a black DM pair of shoes.
