Go to reddit r/AskACobbler and see how many people complain about their Doc Martens plastic coating crack and peel off.

Their "Goodyear welt" is also hard to resole because need to burn the rubber to make them stick.

If you want that style, buy the Made in England version or Solovair.

The ones I bought before are not the shiny leather, the boots and shoes last 10 years easily, usually the heel worn out due to me dragging the feet while walking.

The greasy leather one I had need to be clean with the special cream to keep it solf and supple.

I was like you, always buy from parkson, aeon, metrojaya, especially those on the sale item, sometimes 1 year need to chaneg 2-3 pairs, due to out sole came off, the sole was worn out, ended up bought a timberland, so far so good after 2 years.

I bought dress shoes like Passporte or Alan Delon shoes from these place, they do last like pretty well.

One brand I will not touch anymore is Hush Puppies....
