I need some advice /fa/
I really like the idea of having a lifetime warranty on a pair of boots but I want to know if it's worth it.
I was looking into buying these Doc Martens for $180 with lifetime warranty. They cost $135 without the warranty.
Are those extra $45 really worth it? How long do they last with just normal casual wear?
Also, what's your experience with Doc M's?
Also I'm a size 10 in US(Van's), so what size is that for UK?

Well $45 dollars isn't too much, but some similar boots run for around $80 from another brand. I meant to ask if it's worth paying this much for the name and warranty.

no other shoe at that price will give you warranty

I've owned solovair and Corcoran boots, I'd say go for a boot like Corcoran, they're built for far tougher shit than you'll probably ever put them through and are easily serviced, resole etc

As someone who owns two pairs, you'll probably move on to a different style before you wear them out to the point of needing replacement

My docs from high school are fine still, just a really worn down sole and lots of scuffs. Once they look worn you will start to prefer the worn look and probably won't want to replace them

I've heard the warranty is limited and doesn't cover certain problems that are likely to occur.

I've also heard that by the time you're done paying the shipping you might as well have bought new ones.

I own a pair of the black "hardlife" leather for life DMs. The material and construction is vastly superior to the standard models. The leather is more supple and less prone to cracking too. I've had mine since 2010 and still haven't had to replace them. But ORDER DOWN a size. The fit is huge, even compared with other docs. I own 4 different pairs and the lifetime boots are much wider and looser than any others.

I've had my docs for life about 8 years. Haven't had to replace them. Of course i don't wear them to work, but they are my daily drivers.
