where got sell those made in uk classics?

the martens sold at solewhat look different from the ones i saw in singapore and online. could be my own opinion but the texture and shine is just not right.

yea gave up on malaysia. gonna make a trip to singapore just for the shoes. friend said shop there was much better than here. and these shoes last forever. i guess the for life versions will survive a nuclear bomb attack.

by the way, anybody know where to get these?

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

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?
