Dr Martens Revolution (Documentary) 

59 years old …. waiting for Amazon to deliver the exact same 1460 DM's I used to wear to school in the early 70's. God I am such a rebel.

I’ve wanted a pair since I was a teen, now I’m awaiting my first pair of vintage made in England pair off of Poshmark that I’m planning to restore. Feels good man.

People talk smack about Chinese docs. But my Chinese docs are still trucking 9 years later.

"I like the most masculine looking boots" proceeds to wear flower DM's

Ah yes, the smiths, the band most associated with 90s britpop, definitely not one who's music was majoritavely made in the early 80s. Also that picture wasn't even the smiths

Can't get my head around the floral and fancy doc marten boots .....

Got my first dm shoes and my first Harrington coat at a sale in my school in 1982, and in early 83 a mate at Sea Cadets gave me my first pair of dm boots. I'll never forget how excited I was to get them off him, even though they had Blackburn printed in gold at the top and didn't have yellow stitching.

I bought my first Dr. Martens a week ago, I wanted a pair since I was 19, I'm now 30. The long wait was totally worth it. As I am still "breaking" the leather they're hurting a little bit, but nothing that a band aid and a pair of thick socks doesn't smooth out! Despite of all that, I'm so in love with my Jadons! They're the best shoes in town

They are still as popular because they are the most comfortable shoe or boot in the world. Ive worn them for over 40 years.I've had one pair over ten years and still in good nick. The best ever. 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

wish they were still £20, i just spent £150 on mine and still feel queasy about it lmao

So I got here searching for videos on 'how to clean suede boots'. Sometimes RU-vid just works.

I've always found it hilariously bizarre, that the anarchists and punk culture, both of which spit on the oppressive concept of capitalism, were so particular about which brands they wore XD 'Yeah mate, you can oppose the system with us, you just have to wear EXACTLY the same as we do. And shave your head while you're at it!'

£19.99. I wish they were still that much I want a pair that are £135 🤷‍♀️

Worth watching just for the music!

Love my Docs Thank you for this video 🥾🥾

I just bought Dr. Martens again 1460 Bex. I wish it was sill Made in England but that's life. It still feels the same. It has the best shape (especially a new smooth 1460 Bex 8 holes) of all the boot brands.

They need to bring back the 14-20 eyelet boots in oxblood/cherry red!!!!

errr yehhh, the photo of 'the smiths' is not 'the smiths'

I love docs

Hi! Westminster Television. How are you? I start wearing Doc Martens since I was teenager back in 80s - 1994. In 1994 I was my early 20s. I did own 7 pairs of Dr. Martens, around that time I came Mod. Dr. Martens help my feet lot, Dr. Martens is very comfortable for my feet's. I have feet problems, my Doctor told me Dr. Martens is best for my feet's. I wear Dr. Martens for my feet problems, for fashion, music too. I will be buying Dr. Martens, it is British size, I only buy Dr. Martens make from England. I like this Documentary lot. I am part of Mod cultural. I like tour Dr. Martens see where they make it. It's like walking on air, great dancing foot wear. I wear Dr. Martens where I go all time, I am back into Mod fashion. I do dance to SKA wearing Dr. Martens. I can stand one place very long time wearing Dr. Martens. In 80s I know Original Skinheads listen to SKA, Rude boys, Rude Girls, Punks, Mods in Ontario Canada, I was friends all these Subcultural. I have been to Dr. Martens location at Camden Stables Market in Camden Town London, UK. I have shoe size, boot sizes too like 3 holes, 4 holes, 8 holes, 10 holes, 20 holes, steel toes, shine glass style, 10 holes with Union Jack flag Right now I have 8 holes Dr. Martens. I still dance wearing Dr. Martens like SKA. I am back into Mod fashion.

Pete Townshend wasn't the Founder of The Who ,it was Rodger Daltrey , Pete joined after his friend John Entwistle suggested to Roger he had a mate that played the guitar

It’s funny whenever you see a Docs film they only ever show they factory in the UK, most sadly are made in China and other Far East countries and having owned both I would only ever have the British made ones, the leather is much better quality as is the insole. I don’t know what they use in the China made ones but I have never had a pair that the leather has not cracked and insole dissolved within a year. In fact, I actually don’t buy Docs anymore and spend a little more and get the much higher quality Solovairs.

Wow. ❤👍

Wonder how they've managed to use a photo representing "The Smiths" that isn't actually "The Smiths" out of all the hundreds of photos of the band available on the net?

Great

The price of Dr martens are ridiculous you use to be able to afford a pair on a couple of weeks paper round money I'm not paying silly money for a pair

they're all hand-made??!

The Smiths...Britpop!! ooh. don't think Moz would be too keen on that association

14:37 i cant stop laughing

I've got a question I hope someone will be able to help me with even if it's 2 years from now. I bought a pair of Docs in 1991 when I believe they were all still Made In England but mine had the MIE stamped into the rubber so I know mine were. My question is that although I believe I had the 1460 style they were different than the ones any of my friends ever ended up owning in 2 ways. 1st instead of smooth, shiny, greasy or whatever you want to call them, mine were a scuffed black similar to suede. The 2nd difference was I had a distinctly different tread than any pair anyone else I knew or even ever saw in media at the time or since. My pair had the pattern on the left at 0:58 in the video which meant I had MUCH better traction walking in the rain/snow than my friends. Can anyone help me out if they know the name/style I had? I'd like to find a pair exactly like those that are MIE for my daughter for the upcoming Yule season. Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully someone will have an answer for me.

Anybody know the name of the fab ska track around 1:48?

I like how they rushed over that part about the Doc being a Nazi...

Where's that bag of glue 😎

I wear Docs because my girl bought them for me. They're actually some really good boots.

I had Martens when i was young,like all my friends...we pay them a lil expensive,but was good boots(oh n they had the iron at the foot n the aerosols).

Been wearing docs for thirty years

whats the song in the beginning?

Look after your DMs and your DMs will look after you!

I love the whole thing skins mods scooters etc

GBP 19.99? Amazing!

OG....

£19.99 adjusted for inflation is about £199 now

That snippet of The Who @0:18 is in 1964, not even close to the 70s yet. But I get the drift, Pete Townshend did wear dm boots.

Sweeet 😊🎉❤

Got me first Doc's in Milan ( 1988) , cherry popped them during a Milan Derby ( Milan -Inter) Fossa vs the Inter SkIns ....never took them off..ACAB , FdL 68

8:10 Korea 닥(doc of doctor) 마(mar of martens) 닥마 화이링(fighting/ go 4 it)

Skinheads that like Jamaican music.. I think I have to brush up my history and learn more about that part!

A Doc umentary on doc martens

After Permira got DrM it is just another Made In China. I got me a pair of Boots&Braces instead recently.

First pair of Docs 1969 ish ,still at school.Cost 5 Guineas. (£5.5 shillings)or £5.25 pence 🤔.Last pair I bought Over £80 🧐

I prefer a more radical shoe.... like a Hush Puppies slip on. I don't follow trends, I start them.

They totally forgot about Psychobillys

Hi! Mate Westminster Television. I was Mod late 80s - 1995 in Toronto, I did own 4 pairs of DR. Martens, one of DR. Martens have British flag. It felt like I was walking on air. I would buy DR. Martens again, only make from London, UK. I went to DR. Martens shop in Camden Stables Market in Camden Town London, UK back in September,8th-18,2017. I don't like fake DR. Martens, I like real DR. Martens.

His name wasn't Ian 'Drury'. :-(

The 1970s, not 1970's.

Grinders tm is the way to go ,made in England.

The Dr Martens Most Sexiest And Durable Shoes In The Planet I Had More Than 30's Pairs So Far They Are Made In 🇬🇧

Mine fell apart after one year. Fuck that.

anything with Horace Panter in is worth watching. BTW Pete Townshend never had a real job, so that stuff about him wearing his work clothes to rehearsal is wrong

Why the heck is it so hard to find a quality pair of DMs? Every pair I look at has some sort of issue. From what I understand, the factory just recently opened again but all the ones I see are made in Asia and get terrible reviews due to poor workmanship. Why can't it be easier than it is to find a pair?

Adopted the short hair from Jamaicans? Bollocks, working in heavy industry was the main reason,

The only article of clothing I gladly splash out $200 on.

yass

I want to get paid so bad

ジェレマイもはいてた

We were designed without shoes. I think if we would have walked barefoot most of our lives, our feet would resist most environments. except for snow and ICE. Most people in third world countries have feet that are resistant to cuts, rocks, branches, etc. that is because they are barefooted 90 percent of the time. I guess after tar, sidewalks, glass, etc were invented we needed shoes to get around. If you go to certain islands, lots of people are without shoes, and are resistant to funguses and have great feet. I think Shoes made things worse for men. Our own feet have the best grips in the world, FootPrints on bottom grip like no other shoes can. This is why most people can run faster barefooted than with shoes or sneakers. Humans have Amazing Feet. Too bad, I am not willing to go barefoot in NYC LOL.

Estan chingonas esas botas

Maaaan RogerDaltrey's jeans were tight. why so tight dude???

these days I work Cochran paratrooper boots because they're made in America I used to wear DM's but then they went to China and there's just something about having a high quality pair of boots made in China it's an oxymoron if you do will

Grew up in Orange County California,, I'm now 50... You couldn't just get DMs and walk around.. yeah it sucks, if you heard,, what Size Boots are those?!,, Stand your ground yell back F U!... Or run,, be tagged a Poser.. forever... In the 90s it was.. over for the Street Punks and Traditional Skins wearing them.. Electric Chair in HB was it,, obviously others sold them,, i have a collection of them,, i can't sell, Real Steel toe boots came with thicker leather, double stitching, and Life Insurance policy from DM.. Oi Oi Oi..

Miley Cyrus in DM's, that's why we now wear Solovairs

Docs are great boots, but there popularity has died here in the US for some reason.

Wearing my 5year old Dr m.. shove your bikes. .I'm a 80s kid

Nothing about Fox and Fluevog bringing Doc's to the United States in 1970?

Dr Funks sounds better! :)

You're rude, boy!

It's weird. Do these mockumentaries when talking about Jamaican music say "They're playing instruments made by Germanic people, they so love the Germanic culture that they only use Germanic instruments, especially the English invention the guitar. Here Jamaicans can be seen dancing alongside English guitars." ... ? Do these people pushing their multiculty agenda realise how fucking weird it sounds shoving it into everything? It's so absurd.

So Norwegian guy here I bought mine from that exact guy in Camden

Martens only looked good on punks and rockers in my opinion. Now a days everyone and their moms are wearing them and some people just don't look good in them.

It's funny how this doc acts sort of as anti-skinhead propaganda when nobody would even be talking about doc martens without the skinhead association. They made your boots famous. Get over it.

Every body that used to buy DM's for the good reasons wear solovairs in nowadays. Areal pair of doc's used to last for ever, you were shure to sill have 'em after ten years. but now they have become cheapo crap badly built in china by over exploited workforce. you'd rather get a proper pair of solovairs or loakes depending on the style you want. How can a DM sole fall appart after a couple weeks? they just became another shitty brand made to sell to any fashion victim that has no concern about ethics or environment. RIGHT OR WRONG???

2 pairs i had ,split horizontally in the first week.garbage.

I bought boots for my husband as a wedding anniversary present less than a year ago. the sole have split. Dr martens are ignoring my emails. We have 8 pairs. I can't love them any more.Sick of it. They're a disgusting company. They just take your money and no responsibility.

Doc Maretens for skinheads are overrated..had my pair of 10-hole Gripfast since 1997....tredair is another great brand for bovver boots!!! Plus Docs aint made in England anymore!!

Dr Martens vegan shoes are bad quality ! I buy Dr Martens shoes since the 80's and it lasted 10 years. Now those shoes are disposables after 6 months of use... Thank to the stupid fashion and brainless lobbyists... An old customer disappointed.

Wait... So the inventor of this shoe was a Nazi?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

Made by a Nazir doctor for the German army . Read the history .

The Chinese version of doc's absolutely SUCK!!!!! do yourself a favor and only get the 🇬🇧 version!

Total nonsense, we didn't wair Doc's, they were to expensive. We went to the army surplus store, and bought old army boots!

use to be good pair of boot now they are shitty made in china boots

Looks like someone is gonna get some diversity

The shoe the name the brand all violate human rights and diversity

In my youth i wear only docs. Now theire made in bangladesh, the leather is fucked up after half a year and they are so expensive. Its a shame

They are speaking English and that is racist

There's men in this video so that's sexist

14 eye Shelly's rangers Oi!
