Dr Martens just collaborated with Raf Simons:

My personal fav is the two-tone 8 holes.

Previously Dr Martens collaborated with Yohji Yamamoto and Agnes b. You still can find the Dr Martens x Agnes b in Singapore at Isetan Orchard and Isetan Scotts.

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.

yes, most of them are made in China to cut the overhead. However the Vintage line is still being produced in UK but at a premium price.

occasionally i do pay a visit to Pertama and Campbell and some of the shops there still carry, in a very limited quantity and size, those UK made.

Hmmm, i can't furnish any comment on the Made in China DM as all the pairs that I own are Made in England. Is it really that bad?

what the hack with the stereotype way of thinking... you also can wear DM boot with different style

as a matter of fact, i own 4 pairs of DMs and you gotta accede that ppl will associate DM to punk, mod and skinhead although i agree that ppl can wear DM 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.

if all fail, try online.

i had treated my crazy horse before; the moulding disappeared and appeared again. after a few treatments, i gave up and threw them away.

to prevent it, it is advisable to rotate them, especially leather shoes.

It moulded becos of moisture. Dried it under d sun, it will be OK.

ain't that easy. i sent mine to a professional cleaner to get my pair done. however after a few months, the mould struck back.

apparently the roots of the mould were planted deeply into the core of leather. it is best treated at the initial stage of moulding.

no worries bro, hope you find a good pair, I sure did...
thanks for the info much appreciated... rclxms.gif

BTW here are the pics of my Brownie & Blackie, used alternate days to work..as well as Mr. Mouldy...circa 1999....sayang wanna throw,
even though can be salvaged IF I send to a good cobbler.. i doubt he will regain his glory.....
both were bought back in 2008 @ Kampung Baru Kedai Jumble @ RM350, they were in mint condition  thumbup.gif

btw was told never to use wax on DM, only normal polish, is this true?
*
glad to be of assistance.

btw, i have a similar black, low cut dm. made in uk, without the yellow thread. how about yours? you got it for rm350 for a used pair??
