I don't have problems with my 1234s. I heard the 6342 are pretty comfortable though. Have you tried those or the 7923s?

>he fell for the Dr. Martens troll

lmao

i returned them after the first day then got suede clarks dbs.

>>9519097
dude what

>>9519102
im sorry if i wasnt clear.

I meant that I got my money back from my purchase of my Doc Marten 1461's by bringing them back to the store that I bought them from. With that money, I bought Clarks Desert Boots in suede. Because the Clarks Desert Boots are so comfy, I have not regretted my purchase.

CDB's don't chaff your ankle to oblivion, sure, but i don't think they're that comfy

no arch support, no cushioning, it's very flat and wobbly and has little structure

You wear clothing to be fashionable. Not to be comfortable.

>>9519134
i have bloodstains on the ankle braces of my stan smiths

are bloodstained shoes effay

>>9519102
This picture is the sole reason I want to cop them. I'm scared they aren't going to fulfill my dreams though and that they're just gonna be horribly clunky

Whenever you exchange them for the proper size.

>>9519191
Kek I remember that thread

What the fuck are you guys doing to make your feet bleed from wearing shoes?

>>9519041
Thick socks
Vicks
Vicoden
Wheelchair
Cut off legs

Ya'll are pussies that need to harden the hell up

>>9519041
Jesus Christ people, just give it to somebody who does shoe repair to break them up for you, it'll cost like 5$

don't be a little bitch

first break in swiss military boots

1461 were nothing after that

>>9519041
It took mine 6 months to stop hurting me. Now they're comfy, I actually wear them at work. But yeah it might be a while

>>9519041
2 months

>>9519191
Pls post more fed 1461 inspo

>>9519041
I know your pain OP, I just wore mine and I even sized down 1.
Shit is fucking painful as Hell, even wore thick socks but my feet could barely fit in.

It'll be worth it though.

my 1461s never hurted my feet, they actually fit like a glove and have always been pretty comfy
are you sure you're buying them in the right size?

Soccer socks are a godsend while breaking in my docs. Get the fancy ones with extra padding around the heels.

I want to get some but what's the sizing on them like ? I'm normally a size 11 us

>>9519041
Do you have the made in England ones or the shitty Asian ones? The English ones take much longer to break in but are worth it because they're much better than the ones made by 9 year old wang lee

speaking of entry-level dumb leather shoes, my laces in my beeswax CDB's have broken and i need to buy some more.

should i get laces in a non-stock color?

pic-related, but maybe not that color

I'll help y'all out.

Wear 2 pairs of thick ass socks. The more your feet sweat the better because the heat and pressure/friction will stretch the leather out like nobodies business.

Wear bandaids on the areas where it rubs as this will prevent blisters and painful callouses. If one is not enough, then place 2 or 3 on top of each other.

Broke in countless boots and oxfords with this method. Don't put them in hot water or in the freezer like some other retarded guides cus that will just fuck up your new shoes

>Wear bandaids on the areas where it rubs as this will prevent blisters and painful callouses
i do this preemptively and i feel like a fool for it

but it works so whatever

>>9519389
Walking in them.

stop wearing shitty cotton socks

>>9519872
I read that as wanking in them

>>9519890
Knowing /fa/, you are probably not too far off

>>9519896
Would probably soften up the leather nicely and leave a clean bleachy smell

Microwave for 10 seconds
Put plasters on your feet where they rub
wear thicker socks

>>9519041
if you wear thicker socks that should help the heel situation. i just got some 1461 too and the worse part for me is the creasing in the middle literally feels like its snapping my foot in half every time i walk :(

>>9520126
Also put a metal spoon in your shoes while you microwave them as the radiation then penetrates the leather better and makes them very supple

>>9520130
Are they English made or chinky?

>>9520138
chink garbage :/

>>9520130
>creasing in the middle literally feels like its snapping my foot in half every time i walk
i used to get that super bad with my CDB's

but it went away

i got the middle creasing foot pain thing for like a day with my 1461's, and it was only when i had orthotic inserts inside of them

>>9520141
I ordered the English made ones reduced to £119 from £175 and they've been sent today so I should get them tomorrow. I've read that the English ones are a bastard to break in even more than the Asian made ones.

>>9519041
shit guys.. i just bought pic related today
btw the shoopkeeper of this little odd shop (wearing docs himself and big fan of docs) told me that the process take just a few days...

>>9520134 dont do that ffs

>>9521207
Kek

>>9520149
They are a pain to break in but are worth it

>>9519826
you can send them an email and they'll ship you a new pair of laces for free.

>>9522437
yeah i know but they take fuckin forever to respond

i'm just thinking about taking this as a chance to use non-stock laces in another color

aren't these all Dr martens?
they look pretty good in those outfits

>>9522613
I could tell you if the page would load

>>9519041
God, just bend over the sole and give it some light pounding with a mallet or something, loosens it up just fine. Thats what they do at the doc marten factories to produce the shoes they sell that are "already broken in"

>>9519704
You're not the same guy in the derbie inspo thread, are you?

>>9522853
Yes yes I am.

>>9519097
I've been thinking of copping suede DBs...

Do you like them? Were they worth it? I also kinda wanted them in a brown but those black suede clarks are calling my name right now, but I've never seen a single fit with them.

>>9522906
i got the black suede ones. they're so comfy. the back chafes my foot a bit but not as much as the 1461's did.

definitely worth it. im going to get some beeswax ones too.

>>9522663
Wtf kind of shit are you spewing

My English made 1461s just arrived and make my Chinese made 1460s look and feel like garbage

>>9524712
>buying Asian made shoes
>ever

>>9524321
Go look up how they make broken in shoes. Dosnt hurt the shoe and stops you from getting blisters. Only reason you shouldn't is because your a faggot:
>earned muh 1460s the hard way
>blistered, bleeding feet
>autistic fucking retard

>>9524748
You ramble on like someone with schizophrenia. Shut the fuck up.

>>9524735
Le fedora-wearing gentleman

My 1461s arrived yesterday and I wore them for 7 or so hours today, they were actually really comfortable. You sure you sized right?

>>9525849
English made or gook?

Am I meant to actually polish them or not? I don't like how they look when they're really shiny, but I want them protected

>>9519041
when you stop being a dumbass and buy a pair that fits
even my shitty weeb japaroo lolita shoes fit well when sized right

>>9527818
Pics of these weeb shoes
