where is the dr marten shop?
Orchard Central, Level 3. Take the long escalator up, turn right, walk straight till you can turn left. Turn left and walk straight till you see the Doc. Marten's shop that will be on your left :D

For those whom may like to apply mink oil to their boots, take note must spare at least 8hrs to let it dry, and it makes a difference if its daytime or night.

Yesterday morning i applied and it dried within 7-8hrs completely.
Then yesterday night i gave it a 2nd coat, this morning 8hrs le, still have small patches not completely "eat" into the leather...
I think tonight i will give it a 3rd and last coat earlier, then probably try to wear it le.

But still abit worry if it looks weird in office attire, may looke abit chunky right... :s13:


Btw, since some of u talking abt Dr Martens. I suddenly rem i used to have a pair which i bought for my sec sch grad ball. But it was NOT that in fashion then but i love it alot though, but being small feet, the boots was abit BIG for me... So after 1-2wears, i gave it to my uncle who eventually gave it to his son my cousin. It is like almost 13yrs old le, and still kicking gd! (oops revealed my age... :s16: )
At that time, i think it cost me like $130 sia! CRY

I only wear berms to the beach or when i'm walking around my house..

So, most of the time, I'm wearing berms with slippers / sandals or a pair of sneakers.

I find it a little weird to wear high-cut shoes with berms, but that's just my 2cents :D
