In the early 80s the New Jersey kids wore cherry Doc Martens w/ red suspenders and they were the posers in the Lower East Side CBGB's scene. Us NYHC brats wore black Docs only.

 

Of course the ultimate posers wore tartan doc Martins.

The bassists tartan is blue FFS.

 

While most Official Punx™ are Royal Stewart, there is a dispensation from Punk Central® for western branches to use a more scenery-blending greeneyblue with black tartan... And punk guitarists are allowed scruffy flat caps and beards if they're from Mansfield.

I always preferred the blue/green tartan, like what Rotten used to wear. Must be my Celtic blood.

I had (still have!) green doc to underline my eco credentials.

That's Black Watch tartan, which anyone can wear. Lydon always plays by the rules, 😉 he's an aristo after all.

We're they green when you bought them or did that colour develop a couple decades later?

Now there is a funny mental image!

 

Must have looked fabulous on the guys - Couldn't find Docks and red suspenders, but it works well with black ones.

Really irritated about my docs. They have a zip in the side and although that has been fixed, the insole came away and the bottom is falling apart. I keep looking but they don't do side zips any more like these. Only a few years old.

Girls with Doc Martens!  In my day, punk girls wore Monkey boots, it was the blokes that wore Doc Martens.

 

If you were a skinhead girl and wanted to look hard you might have worn Doc Martens maybe.
