What is on their way to me

Y'all know I had to pass on my Doc Marcie boots due to the heel height (waving at Una!). I've been waffling back and forth on what to replace them with that will give me the same vibe. Well it was pointed out in one of my previous boot threads that I should consider other Doc boots...well DUH!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that. Doc Martens work incredibly well for my wider high volume foot. And they have the support I need.

So these babies are on their way to me - they have the same shaft and foot as the Marcies, but a lower heel. The heel is not the gray I love on the Marcies, but I'm not going to get an exact replication.

I'm looking forward to getting these and upping my urban quotient again. And to those of you who have listened to me whine about my foot woes, my boot needs and provided me with dozens of fantastic options (I'm looking at you Inge!), thank you so much for your patience.

    I really like this option especially since you still loved the Marcie look but needed a substitute.  

    Given that many of us that are "of an age" have foot woes, I wouldn't worry about the ruminations.  They are helpful to the rest of us in identifying our issues and avoiding costly mistakes.

    These look like they have great potential, Shannon. Can't wait to hear the final verdict!

    Also: I actually thought of suggesting you take a look at other Dr. Martens options, and somehow completely forget:-) So glad someone else did.
    And: it's always a pleasure to round up stuff for you, Shannon. Never hesitate to shout if you need something.

    Wow those are great! The heel on he Marcie's is not that different a color than those. We have twin feet!
