Why does everybody like Doc Ms so much?

They're so expensive! Where i live they're like $80 to $120. Thats alot for a pair of boots. I got my boots from goodwill for 4 or 5 bucks and i've had them for 3 years. Do Docs stay together well, to me they look they'd fall apart like the sole would detach or something. I'd rather by a good pair of specialty work boots that are made to stay together.

I wish I had the docs that were made in England. They're sooo expensive though, I ended up getting the cheap ones off of ebay that were made in Thailand. :[

They still get a lot of folk who find those ones fine though. And in fact, I've read that the ones made in England are much harder to break in 'cause the leather isn't as supple because they use a different leather process.

Though I agree, it'd be nice to be able to choose without the vast price difference.

Interesting link about the percentage made in England (2% - 70,000 pairs a year out of 3.8 million pairs worldwide): http://makeitbritish.co.uk/footwear/dr-martens-made-in-england-coll...

I don't know how the new ones hold up but I'm 30 and still have the pair I got when I was 13. They have a lifetime warranty to re-sole them and lol they aren't "pretty" anymore but I like them looking all rugged as fuck :) put a shitload of miles on them, even fell in a creek with them, they were my motorcycle boots and everything else. I love em.
