dr marten boots

[skyrider]

just been looking on fleabay at dr marten boots  and the price of them they are now a horrendous price climbing towards 200 notes, i always wore black 1460's 8 hole, but now if that's how much they rush i think me and docs have come to an end i will move on to another make

When i find a boot i like i get pissed off when they discontinue them or hike the price up. DM's are a fashion statement now so you have that to deal with I've got a pair of CAT boots that are now about 30 years old no chance of replacing them for the same

Seems they are as expensive, if not moreso than Dr. Martins.

@skyrider Have a look at the work boot version of the DM's there might be an alternative in them

That is what i liked about the CAT ones i bought they didn't need any breaking in, comfy from the 1st day. like the work boots i buy now well work buys, i like a tall boot but work will only pay about £50 towards boots the ones i want are £75 so i settle for the shorter ones as i'm tight lol but god their comfy, warm and dry the only thing i don't like is the soles don't last long before they leak 

These are the work boots i usually have could walk in them all day and most days i do

I have a pair of Timberland work boots, the Profi line that you buy in work safety shops not on fashion stores. They’ve got a composite toe cap and are made of leather, not suede, ultra grippy soles and impact cushioning, best boots I ever wore and used to really help go through winters on the warehouse. They were half the price of a normal Timberland boot when I got them, and a lot better built. 
 

After abusing them for years, my brother now uses them on the field in Croatia when he goes to construction sites, I highly recommend them.
