The 1460. Dr. Martens or Doc Martens. One of...if not...THE most popular boot that gets put on feet (the other most popular boot is Italy). So, are the Made In England 1460 Doc Martens worth it? Or should you get the made in Thailand 1460's? Today we find out...sorta. The question comes down to how much of a Doc Martens fan are you!? Are you a poser? Are YOU!?
Can I interest you in a hot bowl of following ME and The Snail in other places??

Back in the day, the trick to buying MIE DMs is to buy the surplus stock from the Royal Mail - they had a contract with DM to make boots for the staff, they are identical to the regular customer version except for the welt which was black instead of yellow - they came with commandos sole and most important of all, were MIE. I bought a bunch of them back in the day for about 70% off retail - in fact, I still have 2x box-fresh pair sitting around somewhere 😊😊😊

@Bushkaboo Год назад
I've got 5 pairs of DMs, 3 of which are MIEs. You need to order 2 sizes smaller in the UK sizing i.e. If you are a US10, you need to order a UK8. The leathers are tanned differently in different countries. Nappa is softer and thinner than Quilon, and Pascal leather is even softer and thinner still. The MIE leather lasts longer. 2 pairs of mine are over 20 years old.

Well, I get that you simply don't get it; and it's fine. I've been using Martens boots and shoes since I was in my teens, in the 90s. They were really well constructed, shank and everything!!! my boots lasted nearly a decade of abuse. In 2013 I purchased another Martens, maybe it was nostalgia, but these weren't made in England, and they didn't last long. Another pair come and go, it wasn't the same, the quality wasn't there. Finally in 2019 my wife surprised me with a Made in England shoes. Everything that I love was there, I still have them and wear them in regular basis and they are not showing signs of determination. Almost 3 years ago I got myself another Made in England shoes, and still have them. Is not just the myth or nostalgia, they are good and quality shoes. If you want to set the real deal go for the Made in England, it's a well invested money since they going to give you years and years of joy. The other ones are a "good" choice if you don't care, as I, if your shoes are not lasting at least a year of love. Greetings from Seattle.

Quick note on Bradley Mountain: I’ve spoken to the owner Tyler a few times and he’s a really nice guy. They make all of their bags and jackets in their workshop in the USA. They recently moved to TN and are opening up a store there. I have a ton of Filson and other competitor brands and honestly I like Bradley Mountain the most. Maybe it’s because they’re a smaller brand but they’re jacket and backpack designs have so much thought and are feature packed. A really cool brand that I think deserves more attention.
@DanielBobke
@DanielBobke Месяц назад
You touched on the labor, but you skimmed over the welt. The welt on a MiE boot is a full Goodyear welt, where the stitching you see on the edge is actually sewing the welt to the boot itself with that addition of the glued and melted seal of the sole to the bottom. It is MUCH more secure and just lasts longer than the Asian-made boots which are only glued on the bottom. I can't argue that on the materials alone they are worth $90 more, but they are better made than the imports and I think look better overall with the untreated leather on the inside. EDIT - Another point is that they actually make the soles in the factory in England as well - they use raw PVC pellets and heat them up and mold the soles. There is a cost to this as well.

Doc Marten's made in England are fine boots. I wore a pair for twenty years and they are still OK and I'm a very heavy man. They are great for heavy people because they cushion each footstep and reduce knee pain. They were originally a German design for soldiers with foot injuries from the first World War. They were also standard issue for poorer punks and Goths in the 90s and early 2000s.

Being British and wearing DMs since the 1970s I can testify the new foreign ones are nothing like the old ones; cheaper leather, no arch support and lacking the 'quality' feel. In my opinion they are overpriced. I have not tried the 'Made in England' variety but if I risk my cash on another pair I am tempted to try out the Solovair alternative which uses the original techniques in the factory they were made in back in the day.

As a Brit I spent a lot of time wearing Doc Martens (or DMs as we call them over here). Even the Made in England shoes are not the same as the footwear they used to produce in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The leather was better and they included a wooden shank. Now they are very much a volume footwear producer and they are overpriced for what they are (They’re even more expensive here - £209 or $259 dollars at today’s exchange rate).

The last two pairs of DMs I bought lasted approximately 18 months each before both pairs of boots split across the soles. I'm assuming they were both the ones made in Thailand, not that I even realised you could buy ones still made in the UK or that an online seller would even specify which ones you're getting. At almost £100 a pair, they're definitely not worth the money and are now more of a fashion statement. For the last couple of pairs of boots I've bought Dickies ones for about £20 a pair and last just as long or longer. I do tend to buy for purposes of utility rather than looks now though. I did hear that a company called Solovair make the original spec DMs, just unbranded, and they're supposed to be much better than anything branded Doc Marten, but for a price. Apparently Solovair used to make DMs years ago as a subcontractor for DM, and have a lot of the original tooling. Can anybody shed any light on that?

I have a pair of ''for life'' I got in 2017 wore them every day for 4 years with no problems, got a pair of ,solovairs 18months ago, wore them for 4 months and a rip appeared at the toe bend, so got a pair of DM 1460s off the missus, after 3 weeks the leather is creasing badly at the toe bend and is going to rip in the same place. Never had this problem before, had many DMs over 40 years but the quality really is terrible now and Solovair seems no better.

We wore DMs in the 70s and 80s because they were functional and cheap. Sadly they’re neither of those things now.

The only doc martens boot with plastic on the leather is the patent leather. The ones you have are just grain corrected drum dyed leather from Argentina.

I hiked through Brazil, Cambodia, and the country side of Thailand finishing the trip in Hong Kong with a pair of new Doc Martins my feet were blessed, It was honestly the only time I wore them and I can’t say a single bad word about them.

Walk 8 hours a day for 5-7 months and I bet they won’t last. I had a pair of cherry red when I hit highschool and the leather split near my ankle. I bought a black pair and it split at a crease mark and the sole split also. I bought a pair of mie docs and they lasted me over 2 years and they are just now cracking in the leather. Moral of the story if you walk and want a pair of boot to last and you like docs then get mie.

I love my Solovairs. Made in England, 50 bucks cheaper, great quality and I think they look classier.

I don’t agree with you. I bought solovair boots and they lasted exactly the same like MIE docs. They are not made like they used to… both of them

martens should cost 60 not 260 , since you can buy much better boots for 60 , thow mad in 90 last much longer , the pair i got in 90 was perfect after 5 years , the pair i got in 2006 after 3 year start braking the leather and stiches after 4 the boot was for the garbage ,

It can also really depend on your feet. I can't wear the cheaper ones. I had a pair and they were absolutely ruinous on my feet. I took the time to break them in and I was still in pain. After a year of trying I ended up just giving them away. Then I had the opportunity to try a Made in England pair, and for me the difference was IMMEDIATELY noticeable. Breaking them in didn't feel like torture, and now they are 2nd only to my Blundstones for comfort.

Lug sole doc marten are the best. I own a pair that is almost 15 years old. May be in these 15 years, I have worn the boot for 3 or four years daily. The sole is still there but the leather has cracked at the creases. Also, the footbed has disintegrated. Still it would be good for another 2, 3 years.

I like how you said you don’t have enough information instead of just making up whatever you think. Does Rose Anvil have evidence this foam material is inferior because the company claims it’s an improvement. I have some Addidas that have been great shoes. I have no idea where they are made. Probably not England. Let’s have some perspective. Might be a bunch of nostalgic buuuulsheeeet!😂
