found this blog.. shock to read the below
http://www.alphabetcityblog.com/2009/05/do...vs-made-in.html QUOTE The soles/insoles are a little different. Honestly, I have a hard time believing the Vintage Collection DM soles are period-correct. They are extremely hard. It's like walking barefoot on concrete. Given DM's rep for comfort, this can't be right. The Thai boots are way more comfortable. QUOTE Most of those things are minor, with the important differences being fit, sole, and leather. Honestly, just to walk around in comfortably, I like the Thai ones better. The UK DM's look and feel more like "real" vintage DM's when you hold them in your hand, but they are a little bit sloppily made, are uncomfortable as hell and take forever to break in. QUOTE Hope this is still helpful to some people. I'm actually somewhat disappointed in my UK Docs and I thought about selling them for a while. They're now a little better broken-in, though, and I've got some good insoles for them so they're comfortable enough and I'm confident I'll be able to wear them long enough to wear them out. I really wouldn't buy these expecting them to be like the ultra-comfortable old Docs you used to read about or wear, though - just because they're made in England doesn't make them just like the old ones. I think the now-standard Thai version is actually closer to the original ideal at this point. This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 2 2010, 11:15 AM |

QUOTE(djduzker @ Nov 4 2009, 05:24 PM) DM X RafS is so expensive RM 1950 for 8 hole..
Dr. Martens x Stussy Deluxe Desert Boot [attachmentid=1285749] I think this Red Wing Chukka is boss than the DMxStussy QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Nov 15 2009, 02:16 PM) it seems like there is no love for DM in this forum. Oh well, nowadays not many ppl love the skinhead, punk or mod style. what the hack with the stereotype way of thinking... you also can wear DM boot with different style |

you shouldn't let the 'made in china' tag bother you too much. after all, more and more designers have shifted to china for two main reasons: bigger consumer market and affordable labour. you may be aware that burberry and coach are also made in china.
however you still be able to find 'made in uk' dr martens but at a premium. http://store.drmartens.co.uk/c-43-vintage.aspx just for your information, even luxury car manufacturer like bentley is customising models for china market. |
