@Ragman,
Doc Martens, man!
I had some in high school/ college. Then they went out. Now they're back in again.
In my time (late 80's/ early 90's) they were favored by skinheads (boo), baldies (yay) and punks (usually yay).
E.G. has had some throughout, doesn't wear 'em much anymore though.
I like that farmerman wears them.
