Buying Doc Martens Cheaper Online?

    My birthday is coming up, and I'm pretty intent on getting a pair of these: http://ie.schuh.co.uk/womens-dark-brown-dr-martens-triumph-shearling/1446146120

    175 is a little steep. Been looking to find them cheaper elsewhere online, but all the sites I've found with docs don't seem to have this particular pair.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Okay! They look similar alright. It's so odd...it's these particular shoes schuh is selling that I can't seem to find anywhere online. Ah well, Docs are worth the money :)

    Do you have a student card? I think Schuh are doing 20% student discount ATM.

    Yeah i do actually, thanks!

    I've been lusting after those boots for months! Let me know how amazing they are so I can justify buying them!:D

    Hey I got these boots last year for christmas, they are so comfy. There wasn't the usual problem of blisters that you get with most Doc's. My pair were 175ish in Schuch so don't seem to be coming down in price. I've never been able to wear them with the top part down though as even though there is a buckle at the back to fasten it the sides stick out and they look a bit stupid.

    Anyway I love these boots and you should defo treat yourself to a pair:)

    Yeah I think Schuh seems to be the only store selling this model! Thanks for the recomendation! I've heard nothing but good things about them, and they are so pretty!! 20% student discount makes a good difference. Just need to go try them on :D

    I got my pair in the sorta dark grey color/tartan lining on Ebay much cheaper than Schuh (worked out around 120 euro or so if I remember right?), but I haven't seen the ones with the fur lining before, so maybe they are an exclusive to Schuh? they're amazing boots, mega comfy and just look soooo cool! ;)

    I see loads of other girls wearing them these days, they're super popular. they're also the pair that Amy Pond wears this series of Doctor Who, so I affectionately call mine my Amy Pond boots :)
    I've never been able to wear them with the top part down though as even though there is a buckle at the back to fasten it the sides stick out and they look a bit stupid.

    The trick is to thread the laces through the eyes of the part you fold over so they won't stick out.

    like in this pic:

    and viola! you can now fold down your docs and they won't stick out :D

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, they have the dark grey/tartan pair like mine (the ones in the pic above) in China Blue for €145, a whole €30 cheaper than what Schuh are charging.

    I'm thinking of getting these myself. Love the pics links. My poor tootsies are frozen without a pair of docs!

    If you go into tower records to buy them they give you money back. Bought my white docs for 100 got 20 euro voucher back!

    Yeah China Blue are a much cheaper place to buy docs! The grey ones seem to be a lot of places, I guess its just if you want the brown ones.

    I went and bought them for my mum to give me the other day (our family is so organised!!) and the brown pair is GOOORGEOUS. Seriously amazing boots. If you have a student card they came to about 156 euro.
