    Dr. Martens aren't actually Goodyear welted. They're glued soles. The yellow stitching is purely aesthetic and serves no functional purpose

      @tw_judy Рік тому +6

      They’re “technically” a blake stitch, Rose Anvil did a video where he cuts them in half. So the stitches aren’t just a façade, they’re still welting the sole to the upper.
      HOWEVER, the glue is ironically what makes cobblers turn away Docs from getting resoled, erasing any value that having a welted shoe has in the first place. It’s because it’s a pain in the fucking ass to get rid of the glue, apparently.

    Red Wing's Moc toes are iconic, and so are their Iron Rangers. They're a great intro boot to get into heritage, semi-dress, service style boots. They're over $300, but they can easily last 10+ years with a couple resoles (about $100 every ~3 years). Thursday boots are also great budget options.

    Considered most of these for my first pair of combat boots ended up settling on the orees and holy shit I am beyond happy with them rly feels like the quintessential boot I don’t have much experience but I am beyond happy with the silhouette, leather quality, and the overall feel. Would recommend these to anyone over any regular designer pair of combat boots they also drop twice a year.

    I scored Diemme all black antra for $110 earlier this year and they are indeed *chefs kiss* and 10000% recommend them!! If you're looking to wear them during more colder seasons as well then I suggest going up a size. Their nicely fitted but you'll need to wear thin socks if you're going to stay true to size. The quality is even more 🔥 in person lol

    The yeezy dsrt boot is really nice, its not hyped or anything which is nice so I dont feel like a hypebeast but they have such a nice and unique shape that I am in love with. The only problem with it is it is more of a fashion piecw rather than an actual work boot of sorts but if you dont plan on beating down your boot it is great. Full size up on it if you plan on buying it.

    I've owned a pair of Solovairs for a year now. They're a lot more higher quality and comfortable than docs. Break-in took a hot minute, but they have a wooden shank like the older docs used to which make them way more comfortable and durable through time. If you like the details of Docs more, Id really try to find a pair of used one because even the made in England docs are a lot lower quality than they used to be.

    Love your stuff Drew, been watching, following for about a year now, feel now is as good a time as any to comment for the first time haha.
    So I've been wearing combat style boots for many years now and only recently got into boots as a fashion item. Some words to the wise about the Danner boots, they fall apart VERY fast, more so than almost any other boot I have found. They are extremely comfortable, but that is at the trade-off of the soles being made of very soft material, and therefore falling apart quickly.
    Doc's while they are also quite nice and affordable, you will likely be better off investing the extra 150-200$ at a later date, on a pair of boots that can be re-soled.
    Final note, take care of the boots you buy. They are not cheap. So oil the leather well, and make sure to not let them go too long without a re-sole if you notice the soles start to crack. I've had my same pair of Red Wing Blacksmith's for almost 4 years now, with only a single re-sole, and I would argue that the age they show makes them look even better than the day I bought them.

  • @VictorDude98
    @VictorDude98 2 роки тому +1

    Honestly Dr.Martens look good, the main quality issues is poor leather quality, lack of a shank (which is what prevents pain in the archway of your foot). So without the shank the boot just kinda bends instead of having a wood or steel bit that stabilizes it. And if you get them, make sure you know a local cobbler that is willing to resole Docs, because most cobblers don't.

    The best boots to buy in my opinion,
    Cheaper price point:Doc martens(1460,mono black)(around 180)
    Next price point:Premiata(really nice Italian craftsmanship,they cost around 500,but if you look around on the second hand market you can find some aroun 100-350,i bought mine for 55)
    The perfect boots are Guidi(They have been supplying leather for luxury fashion houses since the 1800’s,they use luxury,really heavy duty horse leather,they have a lot of styles and they cost around 1500 but they will last you a lifetime,you can find them for 600-800 used

Price wise I think they are justifiable especially since it’s not your run of the mill Fracap boot and they only do a certain color way once. They’ve got a few different versions still sitting online in smaller sizes.

I’ve had several pairs of both, and they all ended dup in the trash at one point. Either too painful, bad quality or ruined my feet. If you actually need docs, go for the ones with a fleece lining. Then you won’t have to go through the horrible breaking in process.
