Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy? Post by: 4D on Thursday, July 8, 2021, 11:16:57 Is there a way to tell the fakes? I've seen some with "Dr Martens" embossed on the side and some without :sherlock:

Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, July 8, 2021, 12:16:59 Are they better quality these days, I wore black 8 holers for most of the 90's and they were shit in terms of longevity, thankfully through where I worked in the holidays I could get them trade price, if I was paying full whack I would have sacked them off as they seemed to last no time at all.
Eventually sacked them off for a pair of British Industrial Giants, they lasted for years! Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy?

Post by: BoA Vagabond on Thursday, July 8, 2021, 12:54:21 I love Docs. Treated myself to oxblood three years ago made in Northants. Great but wish I had got the 10 hole now as they seem to have stopped making them. The boots last me years as I don't use them for work. Always wear the shoes working and usually get three or more years out of them. You can get the industrial docs a bit cheaper and good quality from Amazon but only in black. They are great for festivals. In terms of longevity, the newer ones from Asia that I have bought have been hit and miss. Soles wearing quickly or splitting have happened with a couple.

The 10 holes are 1490 and 8 holes are 1460. Are the Asia made ones the £35 a pair options? I've seen some for £99.99 with RRP at £149. I assume these would be the 'Made in England" ones?

I've seen some for £99.99 with RRP at £149. I assume these would be the 'Made in England" ones? Just had a look at the DM website. The Made in England are £189. Worth the extra in my opinion over the standard £149 if not using them for work....and as a one off! I would be careful of cheap docs as there are bad reviews out there. Have looked around for genuine bargains from workwear and Army Navy but didn't find much. Looks like DM are keeping their product close to home these days hence the inflated price. Title: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy? Post by: Batch on Thursday, July 8, 2021, 19:46:29 Quote Are the Asda made ones the £35 a pair options? FIFY. yes.no I think that DM moved their production to Asia for cost saving. But they retained a manufacturing presence in England that they charge a premium for. Weird really, it's like they are saying the Asia made ones are less good. Which was backed up in this thread. for £35 you'll be getting some ropey fakes. avoid Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy?

Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy? Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 8, 2021, 20:38:59 Anything less than £175 is likely made overseas. Mrs Pieman has 2 pairs of non- Englund boots, expensive but no reason to doubt the quality and longevity. £100 and £150 a piece 😯

Post by: guy66 on Friday, July 9, 2021, 07:49:31 Cherry reds, use a mixture of DM cherry Red polish, then use black polish which darkens them slightly and looks the dogs bollocks in all the cracks and creases then finally finish off with clear polish..

I find that fascinating as to me they look like they shouldn't really comfortable at all! Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy? Post by: Flashheart on Friday, July 9, 2021, 08:11:53 I find that fascinating as to me they look like they shouldn't really comfortable at all! I know, they don't look comfortable, but they are very comfortable indeed. Also, I was a bit concerned that they might be too hot, considering where I live. But they're not hot at all. They're actually quite cool. Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy?

Also, I was a bit concerned that they might be too hot, considering where I live. But they're not hot at all. They're actually quite cool. Yeah you do see people wearing them with shorts which I thought odd initially but tends to back up what you say there. Title: Re: Which Doc Marten 1460 boots to buy? Post by: 4D on Friday, July 9, 2021, 10:45:15 I already have some brown DMs, but they are not the classic design. Had em about 10 years and they are still going strong, just fancied some classics. Trouble is I'm a size 12, might not look so good with shorts :D
