i have no clue why doc martens is still in business at all. solovair and grip fast are the exact same thing made with actual leather. the shit doc martens uses is hardly leather at all
ОтветитьMy experience with Docs is that they were bloody uncomfortable.
ОтветитьI always kinda felt this way, and your video just backs it up. I've been wearing these fancy boots for like six years now (John Varvatos), and honestly, they were a bit pricey, but totally worth it 'cause they're still holding up
ОтветитьHad a pair in the 80's used them on military exercises, lots of crosscountry "tabbing" (walking with Backpack & weapon) they were more comfortable that army issue boots and better to sleep in. Eventually i wore them out and was bought a new pair in a Doc Marten Shop in Germany around 2005 as a birthday gift. Very difficult to break in and the sole feels inflexible, now I know why! I still have them and use them when riding my motorcycle. Not suitable for hiking or winter.
Thanks for exposing this.
So boring
ОтветитьThey've been poor quality for years
ОтветитьWell, they maybe are manufactured poorly, but fixing the failiure is pretty cheap most of the time – at least the soles. The shoe guy will glue it for few bucks and you can keep rockin in those shoes
ОтветитьMy factory work required steel toe I wore out the Dr Shoe every year.. that rubber soul best and only non slippery shoe boot I ever found. I’m 75 and still buy and use them
ОтветитьHow is the quality of “1460 made in England”? Great channel btw
ОтветитьI don't think they've been even ok since the mid 2000s. The pair I had in 2006ish were decent. The sole lasted and the leather wasn't too bad. The pair I bought in 2012 were garbage. The sole wore quickly, and the leather was just junk. It stretched out and lost it's shape very quickly.
ОтветитьLook up fire trap rhino boots less than half the price 👍
ОтветитьI bought a pair of leather docs for work, and my foot started being in so much pain, and i never once thought it would be the boots. Bought a pair of skechers, and my foot pain went away lol
ОтветитьHi mate can you cut a pair of Norda 001 sneakers. Would like to see if they are worth the money.
Ответить"Only cost $170". I haven't bought them since the early 2000s, but the price has increased WAY above inflation.
ОтветитьWill NO ONE think of the rich shareholders ? Oh, the humanity !
Ответитьpoll tax riots in uk was 1990 not 80. if anyone GAF !
ОтветитьI got an 8 year old pair, Asian-made. Still holding on, I expect to get another 2 years out of it
Ответитьthey've always looked cheap to me. they're just like the boot version of chuck taylor's. uncomfortable footwear is the symbol of subversive countercultures?
Ответить180 is a cheap sneaker?😅
ОтветитьDanner is my choice
ОтветитьDoc marts are for idiots. No apologies there. The fact that they are still in production is evidence of the high number of fools in the world….😂😂. You and i know who buys /wears them😂😂😂
Ответитьalso the vinyl soles turn to hard plastic in cold temperatures. very slippery and with poor flexibility.
ОтветитьNike blazers have better leather? Lol
ОтветитьDoc Martens are trash get solovair
ОтветитьOnce upon a time, long long ago, I used to wear Dr Martens boots. However, eventually I realised that the urethane cells limited the life as the cell walls cracked and collapsed causing them to be lop-sided. Since then I have used a couple of Australian branded boots but they are now too expensive. Of late I’ve been wearing DeWalt yellow safety boots and I can buy five pairs of these for the price of one pair of Australian or DrMartens.
Ответить"The appearance of a boot without the substance of a boot." somehow that says a lot about modern punk too. lol
ОтветитьEverything is made to last a year or two these days because its in their interest. When things were made to last, like solid leather shoes and metal machines, we didnt have to constantly replace them. Standards have slipped, made of cheaper fabrics, food is half the size for double the price. Shrinkflation. If footwear is made in China its unwearable. Still thinking in terms of bound feet 😂😂
ОтветитьJust a very expensive plastic rip-off and so ugly...😬🇬🇧
ОтветитьI have 4 of my original 5 boot/shoes all bought before 1992. My maryajnes were my goto all year round in 🇨🇦 with wool socks. Hubby bought a pair of 6 holes 6 months ago. Wore them to work daily for 2 months and the sole Seperated... Outsourced aren't 1988 docs. I'm barefoot and don't wear them much, but my kids enjoy them 😂
ОтветитьWould love to see you do Church’s boots
ОтветитьThe England-made Doc Martens are amazing. I cannot vouch for the China/Thai and will never buy those. You're bashing the entire brand based on the low-tier entry line. Look for those that have "Made In England" written on the sole, insole and tongue
ОтветитьI bought a pair new from Amazon and when i saw how shitty they were made, sent them right back!
ОтветитьIm short as fuck and most platform boots are terrible and expensive but if I want to wear my old Tripp clothing out to the goth club I need platforms to not rip up the bottom of my skirts and pants since I cant hem them without messing up th zippers all this to ask whats a good alternative to the platform Dr.martens because honestly they've been the least worst of but not good per say or oer dollar especially since my feet are about 10" long and 4.5" wide with thin socks on
ОтветитьWhat you’re describing in the first half of the video is so far from my experience with the two pairs of pascal dr. Martens I’ve had these last years. I had the first pair for 1,5 year but then I lost them in because they were in some luggage I left in the train :(. The second pair are doing great, had them for 4 years now and I think I wear them at least 150-200 days out of the year. No cracking, because they are not the smooth leather type, sole is only slightly worn. By which I mean that, if you look at the absolute back of the heel, the first ridge is kinda gone. Is that bad or good? They are really comfortable for me. Substantial, but they don’t limit my natural footmovements too much.
ОтветитьI have a pair that I've been wearing for 4 years, almost daily and still in great shape. Best pair of shoes I ever had!
ОтветитьYou got to invest with sport insoles with Doc's who doesn't know that? Lol
ОтветитьI wore docs all thru the 90s. My final pair was in 98 when the heel fell off. That was when I realized it wasn't stitched. It was glued and that pissed me off.
ОтветитьI used to wear these for school shoes in the 90s in England. Even then the patent would always flake off but it was still a quality shoe...I would be there polishing them and all on monday before school. Makes me want some but then I realise it's only for nostalgia and best not to ruin the memory. Plus they are significantly marked up in Japan.
ОтветитьIve always thought Docs were ugly and cheap looking, and low quality for thr price.
Freebird makes the best quality boots, edgy classic style, and decent leather, handmade and affordable for what they provide.
I'm sorry.. who on Earth says Dr. Marten are comfortable? They literally make you bleed
ОтветитьI swear I have 3 pairs
And it kinda breaks my heart. I only enjoyed the pascal's. Because of the soft ankle part . But yeah sad
JUNK
Ответить1st day of 4th month. 1960. Abv 1460. First manufactured
ОтветитьDR Martins are a omplete rip off. I zm a 52 year old brit and am from the days of punk rock when these boots became an icon of the punk world. Ox blood Docs were the go to boots. But now there way way over priced
ОтветитьI just bought my 1st pair at 59yrs young. The soft leather air. I love them. This kinda sux.
Ответитьsupporting small business is no longer marketed as counter culture because the people who control fringe culture politics are inherently pro communism and pro globalism. You will wear the boot. You will not buy a boot from a neighbor for ethical prices. You will buy the plastic boot and you will go into the coal mine and take these pills and enjoy your life. Repeat after me "i enjoy paying taxes, i enjoy thinking the allowed thoughts"
ОтветитьVery interesting I used to have a pair in the 90s and just got a new one. Actually thought it was still a solid,. Good pair of shoes. Such a shame that they are coming at this price with in a way lost of disrespect both for the clients and the planet. Hopefully they discover your channel and try to make things right
ОтветитьYou have to remember Doc Martens are just fashion boots, and like all fashion boots it is all about look and nothing about function. Garbage.
