what are the best 1460s to buy? i've heard something about made in england being better and easier to break in?

>>9168146
There's barely any difference. I wouldn't pay any extra for MiE & also 1919 is superior to 1460

>>9168142
>uironically wearing these
Are you a neo-nazi?

>>9168162
What's the difference between 1919 and 1460?

But yes, there's barely any difference in quality between regular and England-made ones.

>>9168177

1919 are those hideous clownshoes that skinhead/groundskeeper cosplayer wears. It's him posting anonymous in this thread pretending someone is posting him as "inspo" and saying his boots are "superior".

1460 is the quintessential Dr Martens boots. If you want the classic look, get 1460's. If you want to look like OiOi get the 1919's.

OiOi, I hope you fucking die.

>>9168205
1919 are 10 eyelet and thinner than the 1460

1460s are not as slim and are clunkier than the 1919.

Dr martens 101. They have 6 eyelets and have black stitching. More people should go for these for sure.

>>9168239
>Dr martens 101
soles are still an ugly green puke color though

>>9168230
>1460s are not as slim and are clunkier than the 1919.

You're trying really hard to get rid of your buyer's remorse aren't you?

>>9168096
Get that baby's first punk out of here

>>9168250
Slimmer as in they aren't nearly as wide when viewed from top down. I didn't say anything about length. 1460s are wider

>>9168096
god damn clown shoes.

>>9168264

They're practically identical in terms of width. If anything, the 1460 has a slimmer form and is less wide.

>1460
original dm model/silhouette with eight holes
>1490
original dm model/silhouette with ten holes
>1919
model 1490 with a steel toe

1919s do not have to be that hideous blue color and are SUPPOSED to be the same silhouette as the other originals (1460/1490). that being said, after observing in person, the toebox appears to be larger in height, which would make sense as there is a steel toe. the steel toe in the 1919s is not safety rated so it's kind of pointless.

i have a 5 year old pair of nappa leather black 1460s and a 3 year old pair of oxblood mie 1490s. my girlfriend has 1.5 y/o a pair of chinese cherry 1460s. here are my impressions
>nappa 1460s
leather holds up best out of the lot due to being full-grain. hardly ever touched with dm wonder balsam and still soft and supple 5 years later. after years of abuse the soft leather can look very slightly 'slouchy' in appearance. soles are worn thin
>mie 1490s
favorite color of the three. cracked after 2 years due to salt exposure in the winter, though creases formed much quicker. i am unsure but i may have been overzealous with the wonder balsam, and i know this can contribute to leather rot, so it should be considered as well. inside surface of the leather is unfinished
>girlfriend's chinese 1460s
these are a darker red. gf is jealous of my oxblood color and worn appearance. the leather feels synthetic and plastic-y, though it is still composite leather. despite deep creasing, there are no cracks yet

in summary of my autism
>durability
nappa > chinese composite > english composite
>appearance

thanks kids will post pictures of my boots on request

>>9168090
>needing inspo for a simple black boot
try again insecure virgin

What are some slimmer silhouette boots that DM has to offer? 1460s look a bit too bulky to me. maybe it's just me

Anybody got the for life docs, how are they?

thinkin of coppin the chelseas

Anyone have an opinion on the Tobias?

I know it isn't exactly a classic Doc, but I'd love to hear your guys' opinions on them.

>>9169003
yes or no?

>>9169003
>>9169014
half some self respect, these are hideous and look like the worst quality chelseas I've ever seen

nice viral marketing pls stop

I'd cop a pair but I live in the States.

>>9169003
>>9169014
you're not going to get a definitive yes or no from /fa/ on these, just buy them if you like them
personally i liked them enough to buy them

>>9169255
They're readily available in the USA. You just have to mind the UK sizing.

>>9169014

How good are doc martens in general in terms of practicality/utility? Are they up to par as actual boots?

Sure they look cool but I feel like they're not durable at all and suck in bad weather. I'm hesitant to cop a pair of boots for over $100 that are only good for the aesthetic

>>9169650
They think it's cute. It kinda is sometimes.

>>9168090
doc martens= fedora's of footwear

>>9170275
kek

>>9170155
They're pretty durable, and the sole is good on a wide variety of surfaces (only thing I've found they suck on is ice). They aren't perfect, but for the price point you could do a lot worse. I've had a pair of 1461s for about two years now, and the only thing really wrong with them is some holes in the cotton lining. I used them for work (kitchen) shoes nearly every day for six months.

>>9169003
>>9169014
my boy's got the offbrand version whatever they're called and they're cool

>>9169014
i just but them and im quite happy with them
do eeet

>>9170275
Or, you know, just a fucking boot.

i think dr martens suck ass. i got grinders stag and regent in black because i like the thicker sole, plus steel toes.they were also like the same price as dr martens. about to get some gripfast, thinking about steel toe oxblood

>>9168118
can the shiny ones get like this?

>>9169247
Gtfo chink

>>9171417
Someone told me the entire sole ripped off of their grinders

wtc my first pair of normal mens 1460s (wanted 1490s but they seem a bit to high after seening some inspo)

Should I go for the English made ones straight up or start with the normal chip chong made boots. Anyone one care to comment of the difference? Also what type of leather to get if I go the cheaper ones?

>>9169158
Muh nigga, there's something great about responding to "nice docs" with a smarmy lecture about how your shoes are actually superior to docs because they're made in England.

>>9171836
are those the Martens rip-off?

>>9168098
laces are too short for this to work

>>9169158
go to bed mr solovair

>>9168172
james?

>not getting these

I got both 1460s and these, and the solovairs are a lot slimmer, dont look as clunky

>>9172251
tfw sold out in my sie

>>9172182
dr autismo here to say that
solovair started making boots about the same time as marten but didn't get huge and move their production to vietnam or whatever

i also think the made in england doc's are made in the solovair factory

>>9171836
>>9172182
>>9172227
Solovoir was a licensed producer of docs before the greedy bastards moved everything to chinkland and actually increased the price.

>buying shit from a greedy company that rises price when it should lower it.
>buying the shittiest of shit quality

I came here looking for 1461 inspo, didnt know I would be the one sharing it

>>9172515

>>9172520

just got docs. how do i black out the yellow stitching? sharpie? shoe polish?

I'm on my third pair of DMs in 20 years.

>>9172532
Un pluck the stitching, it's only there for show

>>9172571
are you sure..
>in b4 someone fucks up their docs

>>9172590
Yeah, it would be a massive design flaw to put the main structural stitching on the outside of boots.

>>9172532
Get dr martens 101. They are 6 eye and have black stichtng

all bout the curtis

>>9172608
It's actually the most common place for the stitching. That stitching holds the sole to the welt on welt constructed boots.

>>9168098
one of the few pics I've seen where docs don't look like clunky shit

>>9172630
farrell master race

Why is the sole so thin on these 1461's??

do you guys rip off the tag on the back? like the weird little leather loop thing

was thinking of copping some arthurs but i don't want the little leather loop on the back

>>9173702
it would make it a lot harder to put on the shoe on
you're supposed to pull the tab at the back when you put it on btw

>>9173686

Knock offs.

>>9173716
>>9173702
>mfw i accidentally ripped the tab off of my first pair

I don't really mind convenience, i can get them off just fine, i'm just wondering if the boot would look better with or without.

tbh i think it would look better without, i think it make it less flashy, more sleek/toned down

For the cherry red 1460s, is there a noticeable difference between "cherry red smooth" and "cherry red rouge leather"?

I liked the smooth in the store but amazon has only got the rouge type (and amazon is cheaper, otherwise I would just get them in the store).

>>9168392
so glad no one replied to this

>>9174312
I called a local store and they weren't really able to help, does anyone know the answer to this for me?

>>9174312
The rouge is like a dirty leather like it looks greasy and real cool imo I like the rouges more which is why next semester they're my first cop

>>9174392
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

>>9174418
Good luck my friend and if you're a half size knock the half off to get your size because they stretch don't worry
Ex.
My size is 8.5 I got size 8 docs they're the best

>>9172571
this
someone do it and post pics after a day's wear
docs soles are heat sealed anyway and cheap if fuck up

>>9172630
>>9173449
I'm more partial to the Hadley

I don't understand the fuss of DMS. W2c boots similar to boots from the 1920s?

what do you guys think of the 101s

>>9168090
doc martin? does rick owens make them

I'm thinking about getting the 1461 mono. Is made in England worth it? I've seen people say yes and no, and I'm looking for someone to convince me one way or the other.

yesss

>>9176418
this is annoying af when people dont pull up their socks

>>9176355
go for it. might as well get it from there rather than thailand

>>9176355
I got the one from their website, not sure where its made from, and they are my favorite shoes, i've had them for awhile and they still look great.

what are some brands that make similar boots like DM 1460s but with a slimmer silhouette?

>>9176483
tru dat, niggas need to pull their fucking socks up. it ain't fashionable to be a little bitch. ya feel?

>>9176543
do you remember how much they cost? normal is $110. MIE is $225.

>>9176790
the $110 version.

>>9176418
>>9172520
I need to see a full body pic with these docs. I dunno how they pair them with those trousers

Doc Martens look like shit in real life, you should all feel bad for wearing them.

>>9169003
wtc trousers

>>9168756
I've got a pair, the only differences are in packaging and that they're just generally constructed with higher quality materials.
worth the extra IMO, but maybe not to you. try to handle both in person before you pick.

>>9173449
Fuck, I cant find these in my size.

>>9176537
i really wonder if the ones that didn't buy the english boots and are very vocal about it just couldn't afford them and settled for the low hanging fruit and try to justify their purchase by saying "they're the same" on the internet to strangers. i guess nothing definitive unless you try out both for yourself

My post from WAYWT
>mono 1461

>>9168098
I want to get my first pair of docs soon
Which ones are these?

>>9178168
Anyone?

>>9178324
Thanks

wats the difference between the 1460 and 1460 reinvented?

>>9176483
yeah. there needs to be a way of ensuring that socks never ever go lower than leg openings.
pic related - w2c socks this based?

>>9172515
also wanting 1461 pics. need a full perspective on a real person.
i'll post what little I have if I do have it

>>9178338
these could easily not be DMs. stitching looks different. shape is the same.

>>9178340

Dr Martens, like a lot of leather boots, can look/feel awkward when they're new. wear them in, polish, oil them, etc. and they're effay as fuck.

>>9178330
anyone?

>girls in burgundy docs

yum

>>9172515
ugghhh I love the way the 1461 look on other people but they totally look like clown shoes on me.

>tfw 5'7 shoe size: 9.5

>>9178332
wear long socks?

>>9178380
>>tfw 5'7 shoe size: 9.5
Damn, how did that happen? I'm also 5'7'' but I barely have a size 7 US in shoes.

>>9178380
what? I'm about 5'7 or 5'8 and a US 9.5 and they dont look like clown shoes at all

>>9179376
nice foreshortening. that really doesn't give a clear image of your feet's proportions in relation to your body. but you probably knew that. post a real pic and we'll decide if it's clown shoes or not.

bumpu

theres a green monday code for 30% off for some doc martens on amazon. enjoy

I ordered a pair off their website last Wednesday and they still haven't left the warehouse

>>9176418
are these the 1461 mono?

>>9179376
Could you post more? I'm really on the fence about buying a pair, its the soles sometimes they look to ugly and big

>>9176418
WTC monos in Europe?

I saw them on the voostore but I don't want to spend 140 euros.

>>9178332
is that the guy from Wild Belle?

>>9180216

>>9180691

>>9180216
I did too, it took about a week.

>>9179278
small feet manlet masterrace ;-;

Just copped a pair of 1460 mono's on the cheap but I'm not really sure how to pull them off. Anyone got some pics ?

>>9181484
It sucks because most mens shoes start at EU 40 or 41. The upside is that I can fit into most womens shoes.

>>9181489
Loosen the laces and then gently pull your feet out.

I tried on a pair of Doc Marten's recently and thought they looked/felt awful. They were the stiffest boots I've ever put on. It felt like they were made from plastic.

Does it get better?

>>9181593
Supposedly it takes a lot of time to break them in.

>>9181593
I got mine last winter. Took a really long to break them in and it was hell trying to drive in them because of how stiff they were above ankle. It was worth it though.

Fancy copping some 101s. Cherry red or black? I'm leaning towards black.

>>9182036
Red = clowncore

>>9182036
black unless u got some sick fits with red

>>9182036
Love my beatup black 101s

>>9181593
