Oxblood Dr Martens 1460. The King of Docs. Best price I've ever seen them at, with quite a large selection of sizes, also many different colours but not sure of the prices

If you want British made, Solovair used to make DMs (company has been going since 1800s) and have continued making the same footwear in the UK since DM outsourced. Here's their similar boots to these:
They cost more though, obviously. £150 to be exact. But still, preferable to trying to source an old vintage pair.
£52 is a good price though. I picked some navy ones up for that price before Christmas from the same page.

These "made in Thailand" DMs have some seriously bad reviews. Ever at 50 quid, why throw your money away?

I used to love Dr Martens but the last two pairs I bought fell apart after a few months. I think you can still get some that are made in England but I'm sure they're more expensive.
Solovair boots are much better, like real Docs.

Not helpful I know, but bought when they were selling last October for £26.

Fashionable "tat" at best - I think the last pair I owned was in 1986 and sold them about a week later.
There's vastly better quality boots out there for similar money (or less) as far as I'm concerned.
Some folks could buy these to wear while riding their "British" Motorcycle made in Thailand I suppose...that would be a Triumph :wink:

Not worth £52...... I bought a pair for £40 and i dont even think they are worth that.
If they were the vintage ones, still made in the uk, then it would be a good deal. But not for these crappy made abroad ones.

well the ones i have not made in the uk have been good, as i have a few colours and styles i just wear one pair for a while then change over, all lasting good, and comfortable. ..The made in uk ones i have are also good , but much tougher to break in...As for this price , Agree not really a deal.... but the dr marten outlets have now upped there prices.....so who knows..

Blimey are there any brands that are still British or is everything now manufactured in the Far East!
