hey is this the legendary skateshop, rupert rage? bought my 1st pair from them; 1460 made in england crazy horse way back in the 90s. sadly, it got stolen. so much for #firstandforever

on another note, this 1460 below is one hell of a looker!

A month ago, bought my first ever made in vietnam cherry-red doc marts after many years, having been mingling with shoes of other brands. Having originally planned to get a pair when i go to hong kong. But on some fateful day, asos had a sort of stock clearance sale where the it only costed me around 38 pounds (rougly RM 190). Delivery was free and there were no extra duties charged thankfully.



To be honest i can't tell much difference apart in terms of comfort and sturdiness in comparison to the england made ones, shoes are likely to going to outlive me like every other pair of martens. The soles bounce like they should, and took a while for me to break them in like they should. However one good thing about living in Malaysia is our humid weather where you can soften the leather by just leaving them outside (shaded though), unlike back in the UK when I had to soak them in water, which gives nasty blisters. These shoes are the toughest thing on the streets, breaks people's feet when i walk over them . Especially in the current weather where it rains every single day, I feel extremely smug having dry warm feet snuggled within the waterproof boots while pitying all my friends soaked wet in their Nike's or Converse's. I can't think of another shoe which is both comfortable and possess a feel good feeling. In addition, gets lot of attraction from the girls

SIZE 11 I'M UK 6.5~7,TOO BIG FOR ME,SUCH A PITY

nice pair u have there...i think the made in thailand one's are ok, apaprently i heard the asian made one's have thicker leather and are better made than the new uk ones but would like to see them for myself before really judging them. lol btw anybody here heard of the other uk brands like solovair?

I read from other user's review that doc marten's quality has really gone down hill ever since production moved to asia (*especially the chinese ones) how long did your doc marten last?

Dude, PM me best price for your DM.. I'm size 11 too..

m a dr martens user for many many years and have gone through like 10 pairs already. prob is that i stay in PG hence very hard to buy them. I only know isetan klcc have them but the choices is VERY VERY limited.

any1 knows which place got more choice for try outs?

guys, i come to a point that I have too many shoes yet too little time to rotate them. thus, i am selling off one of my personal favourites - black. made in englad. UK7/US 8. hardly wear and in very good condition. do pm me if anyone is interested.

Info for those who are looking for a pair locally, saw a Black 8 eyelet boots, should be the Original series 1460 in Pavillion Tangs going for RM509 with 20% discount. ;-)

but rm509 still overpriced izzt?

if it is the vintage series Made In England, it is a very good bargain.

oic~i'm a Doc nwebie here,hehe~thx for correct me^^

after 20% should be RM409..

I doubt that it ll be made in england.. its only RM409, UK sells the asian Doc for 80 - 90 pounds

Bargain? Maybe you should look around RM40 Doc.. psst... let me know if u found them... ;-)

It is a good bargain then, cos the retail price is RM459 made in china for the 8 eyes 1460 in Malaysia now.

Nice boots.

thanks bro
