| My first pair of green Doc's (c.2020) |
In July 2020 I bought my first pair of green DM's. I'd had boots before, but never in green. So some heads turned once I started wearing them. I loved them and managed to keep them - despite being in terrible condition - until July 2024! At that time I bought a new pair of green ones and I really love both the strength and colour of them.
Unfortunately, like most Doc wearers, my heels can be in pain for a few weeks until the footwear is 'broken in'. I discovered a way of lessening the pain - they come in the form of heel grips. All of this motivated me to write this poem as I stuck the grips into my boots before triumphantly strolling down the road with a pep in my step. Read on...

THANK GOD FOR HEEL GRIPS
Only the other day
I bought a pair of Doc's
Green and shiny
A pair of beauty
Except...
I was down at the heel
Literally!
My feet were sore
As I tried my DM's once more
Left heel in agony
From the cutting of the Doc's
'Breaking in' was required
Said the nice man in the shop
So, was I to walk with a hop from the pain?
Fear not!
The arrival of saviours
They came in the form of heel grips
Once inserted correctly
My heels will
No longer peel
No more pain in order to gain
The heel grips did their job
My daily trips no longer would throb
In pain
A small strip of adhesive
Affixed to the interior of my boots
Have revived my love of DM's
No longer am I staggering
My heels cut into bits
I now walk with grace
Moving at great pace
Yes, these are the wonders of invention
Thank God for heel grips!
