to doc marten or not to doc marten

arriving in tokyo next week, but im still debating bringing my precious docs. i have some platforms that i love but fear they may be too clunky (size 10 mens). i will be bringing a pair of sambas as well, but i absolutely love my platforms.

they’re decently broken in and im comfortable walking around in them. i once did a whole vancouver trip entirely in docs (plenty of walking everyday), but i see so many people on the sub talking about shoes in japan being something very important.

insight? advice? i’ve also thought of only brining my sambas and buying some cool shoes in tokyo.
