@MrChinabear 5 месяцев назад

Interestingly enough, I own a pair of the Solovair’s HORWEEN leather derby boots, which appear to be exactly the same as the Goral, except for the outsole which resembles the more traditional Dr Martens outsole but the material is different from the regular Solovair Derby’s . The outsole’s are what Solovair’s website refer to as their premium comfort sole. They only made these boots for a short period of time and they were charging around $279 for the boots.

@MrChinabear 5 месяцев назад

I own both. The Doc Martens HORWEEN Boots have a much thinner Cavalier leather and the sole is exactly the same as the out soles on the regular docs where as the Solovair’s are they completely different pair of boots.. the leather from HORWEEN is a much thicker chrome tan leather. Also the leather lining and the leather insert seems to be exactly the same as the ones found on the Goral’s the only difference seems to be the outsoles. Although I have no proof I have come to the conclusion that the Solovair’s upper may have been made by Goral. There is definitely a more than coincidental resemblance between those two boots

I remember commenting this (or similar) subject before. When I was wearing my Docs as a teen in the early 70's it was to fit in with my peers. To be part of a crowd, to be fashionable. At that time I think the Made In England version was the only one available. They fit well, were comfy and lasted long enough for us to pose in with our mates. These Goral boots a great for what they are, but it's like your mum making you a pair of Levi's. They're just not the same.

@TheRebelLion13 5 месяцев назад

I remember owning 3 pairs of Docs in the late 90s, one which included the 1460 Oiled Leather version, and all three were made by the Solovair factory in the UK, and each of those pairs lasted at least 5 years of heavy use. Compared to the ones that were made in Thailand(the first batches of "outsourced" Docs that came here to the Philippines were made in their "new" Thailand factory at that time), there's definitely no comparison at all. From the sole material to the leather, you can really see the quality has gone down a lot. But in their marketing, they presented it as a "lighter", more "comfortable for long wear" version of the "new" Dr. Marten's Had i known things would do downhill for Doc Marten's, i would've kept all those 3 pairs(ended up handing them down to my cousins), given that those would've been the last relics(and would most likely be collector's items) of a bygone golden era of Solovair-made Doc Marten's.

@@LukeMelto it’s £65 + delivery for UK customers only I’m afraid, to be honest tho the soles on my boots have plenty of meat left on them and are not anywhere near a resole so I’ll just wear them out and probably get a new pair after. The boots are just €210, to me that’s excellent value enough.

@sunnisparks9889 5 месяцев назад

I agree that these boots are so much better than Docs, but I gotta say I get far more than six months out of mine. Of course, they aren't my every day shoe. I wear them fairly often, but I also have sneakers and such so I'm sure that contributes. That being said, keeping them clean, conditioned, and brushed, my Docs are on their 8th year. And folks still think theyre relatively new! If I could afford the Goral's I'd go for it. I plan on replacing my Docs with Solovairs when mine finally die.

The typical Doc Martens buyer was more interested in style than anything else. Quality was a secondary concern, although it was appreciated by those of us who wore the **** out of them. These don't really capture that style. I like these boots, but I'm a "boot guy", so quality boots interest me. In a way, Docs were my gateway drug to the world of higher quality boots. This boot is of a higher quality than Docs ever were. I've owned half a dozen pairs of Docs, all purchased from 1977-1998, so I'm fan of what they used to be. This boot is for a bit more sophisticated & discerning clientele, IMO. Good vid, as usual, thanks for the heads up.

@iambretton 5 месяцев назад

Too expensive for a cup sole boot… plus where on earth can a cobbler resole these? The cup sole would have to be sourced from Goral and my local cobbler wouldn’t do that. You can’t claim that these are super easy to resole.

Undoubtedly these are better boots than the most expensive $260 Dr. Martens. Or even the equivalent $250 Solovair derby (that is also built better than the Doc.) But the Goral sure doesn't look as good to me. I'd get the Solivar over the other two. Even if they were close to the same price. But honestly, I wouldn't get any of these.

Seem nice and durable to start, pretty comfortable out of the box. We’ll see how they work out. On sale for $66, so worth a try. Still iconic with the look which has become timeless. Most of what I want in boots I can’t justify the price, most of what I can afford are medium grade, but good enough for my needs now. Take care of what you get, either way.

I would be willing to send a pair to examine if you have not encountered them before, though the outer soles are slightly worn.

Great video, and really informative. I love the Gorals, but don’t love the price. I like the look of the Docs but agree that they’re junk these days. I think I’d go with Solovairs as they’re ‘relatively’ decent boots at about half the price of the Gorals.

Would love to see y'all take a look at the Quoc Chelsea SPD boot. I've got a pair and they're a joy to walk and cycle in

@grobhughes 5 месяцев назад

I'd definitely consider a pair of these in lowtop 1461 style. I have import doc's and solovairs and both end up creasing, flaking and splitting where my foot bends at the ball. I need the shine or I would try a "greasy" finish.

I reckon a good alternative to a doc martin is a mackinlays boot called the beaumont in black. Its stitchdown with a leather lasting board and good leather

Those boots and others they have look nice

This boot is incredible, I’ll keep dreaming about it

@janbrittenson210 5 месяцев назад

The main weakness I think is the insole; if you swamp those boots that cardboard and cork is going to disintegrate. Certainly fine for inclement weather urban use, just be mindful where you put your feet.

Mate could you please make a review about Y3 brand l believe it could be interesting. Excellent content i love it!!

@brianmclaffin 5 месяцев назад

Those look really nice. I think the next pair of shoes I'm going to get will be Gorals. Leaning towards their sneakers, but their boots are looking nice.

I'm waiting for you to cut a few more of European brands boots, would love to see what you think about something like Hanwag Sepp!

@macibasti 5 месяцев назад

Great videos! Like to watch it and learn more about what are the best boots that we can get! Did you ever heard about the brand Bonanza? They have some moc toe boots. They look pretty good, and they show some videos about the quality of the leather and they have Goodyear welt. You should make a video about that boots and tell us what do you think about it, and if it's worth it the boot, they have 4.6 and 8 inches. They look pretty good. But you're the expert

@patriciodelavega3586 5 месяцев назад

The missing point here is that, many people (me included) buy Docs because we like how they look... I mean, this Gorals are cool, but they don't look anything near to the punk look that Docs brings People gets mad when you buy something that makes you feel cool, but (as I see it) that's one of the points of buying something in the first place... To feel good about it! (Even when we know that Docs have decreased the quality big time)

So you're saying a $450 boot is better than a $170 boot. Ground breaking stuff, boys.

@luisclavero8886 5 месяцев назад

I don't know if you've made a series of doc Martin killers but if you haven't, would like to see that.

I’ve bought two pairs of Doc Martens low slip on shoes at a discount shoe store half off at $60. They were pretty good for the price but the outsoles do were down quickly as you stated. Also the middle would crack straight across the bottom from bending and once you got them wet the fiberboard got wet and quickly fell apart.

You guys should do a video on Adidas stan smith lux's. They're full leather and even have a leather liner which is rare in main brand sneakers.

@graemegourley7616 5 месяцев назад

Hmm. Like the looks except for that really high sidewall. If that were half as tall I'd buy some for sure. I love that crisp squared edge in the toe cap.

Just another reminder, this video is not an independent review its a ADVERTISEMENT for Goral.

@watchreport 5 месяцев назад

And yet he shows you the leather, cuts them in half and shows you the insides and all materials, describes them to you, says about the man made materials and that he himself would prefer all leather and cork inside but that would make them heavy and less Doc Marten like. So you still get a really good idea of what they will be. I will say the biggest subjective part is how comfortable they are, to which he says he finds them comfortable but those things are always subjective. He may not think a certain pair of boots are comfortable and many others can find them crazy comfortable and vice versa. He’s still showing all the insides etc. any review or any video, from anyone should be used as a helpful guide and nothing more and remember many things are subjective.

Hello from Algeria, Love your content ! Can we expect future reviews on european brands? I really whant to see Shoepassion boots cut in half ! Keep up the great work !!

@saucyg6371 5 месяцев назад

Woulda liked to see a leather midsole but i think from their goal of making a better Doc, it makes sense on why they chose those materials.

@brianeharmonjr 5 месяцев назад

If you're wearing through Docs or Solovairs in 6 months or a year, then a different style of boots is probably better for your use. If you're like most people and wear them casually alongside a bunch of other footwear, they might still be a great option that lasts you a long time. If you're buying Docs because of how Docs look, you're not buying these. It's a completely different piece of footwear, so I hardly see how it is even a comparison to Docs.

Do you have any recommendations for a high mileage boot for city walking? I know there are plenty of hiking boots out there but they are so rigid and suited for off road use.

@TheEddeGuy 5 месяцев назад

450$ for a pair of strobal stitch/blake boots seems hefty. Better look at something like the Heschung Hetre which at least looks somewhat like the doc martens and are norwegian welted(although more expensive)

@midgee5986 4 месяца назад

id love to see you review canadian west boots moorby. they feel on par with red wings to me. they’re somewhat hard to find tho

@lor1nio Месяц назад

Please take a look at the Waldviertler shoes made by GEA. Handmade fair production in Austria with focus on wide bed shoes that are healthy for your feet. Very high build quality. Basically lasts a lifetime, and you can get every part replaced fairly cheap. My dad has had one of his pair for almost 50 years and they still hold up very well.

@EssenceofPureFlavor 5 месяцев назад

I don't get you. If this was Red Wing you'd be trashing it. Yet with Goral it's pure praise.

@semirhuskic8028 5 месяцев назад

hey Weston, if you see this it would be cool if you would review the sneakre Ecco Street 720 basketball style.

@KnowOne111 5 месяцев назад

In this same style, you should check out the Paraboot Imbattable. Or just Paraboot in general.

Love this show ! and it has affected me a lot ,Im on my second pair of used redwings now after growing up in Marteens. there is no way Im gonna buy marteens again , My first marteens i bougt in the 80s and i really loved them at the time . Probably saved my life running away from both cops and skinheads, Had another pair of Ms like 10 y ago and got really dissapointed Life took me out of the city and into the woods and thats where real boots show their purpouse I think , A big thank you for showing me why it is so .

I think the Austrian army paratrooper boots deserve a feature. They come as tropical, too.

@2mitts 5 месяцев назад

Really wanted to like these but that outsole and welt stitch just kils it for me. It could be the texture, the minute I see that I think Converse sneaker. Related: Solovair, bring back your Horweeen line! Appreciate your hard work as always, looking forward to the next videos!

@remi7039 4 месяца назад

the effort you put in to take down dr. marten is really making me want to own a pair 😋

@piwo647 5 месяцев назад

They look very chunky. I am sure the construction is way above what you get with modern dr martens but they do not look nearly as good as dr martens. It's like the Goral sneakers, I am sure they are much better constructed than Common Project but they just don't look as good. CPs and Docs are iconic because they are objectively well proportioned and good looking shoes. It seems to me that Goral is not in the business of making good looking things they are in the business of making well constructed homage shoes (not to say copies).
