As far as I can tell Docs, back in the day, were expensive for the people that wanted to wear them.
They probably became more affordable when they off-shored production but by that point they were probably more of an "arthoe" thing than a working class thing.
Solovairs are "real docs."

Up until punks and skinheads started to buy them in loads, yes. Then they became slightly more expensive and fucking expensive abroad, in the US hardcore scene, the "rich posers" wore them while most punks wore surplus boots that actually wore longer lmao

Solovair are a meme. They pride themselves that their boots are all made in England and charge a premium because of it, as if it's supposed to denote a level of quality. But the actual product is on par with or even worse than your typical DM's. Their quality control is piss poor, there are many examples of this all over the internet, and on the /boot general/ right now.

Just buy a pair of DM's. You'll get a better quality boot and save yourself £50. Or save up more and move up a tier. Solovair are the anti sweet-spot.

How does the Solovair + DM Made in England thing work?
I heard solovair was essentially the people and factory that used to make Docs before they outsourced it and I've also heard current year Made in England docs are made in the same factory as they used to be.
So is it that they had multiple factories in England or is it the same factory doing both?

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 4 17:55:34 2019 No.14071942 >>14071933 well, they're both boots.

Anonymous Mon Feb 4 18:41:27 2019 No.14072078

>>14071933
Vintage DMs were outsourced to a number of different manufacturers. That's why there's so many variants within vintage boots, even when talking about any basic model like even the 8-eyelet boot. Sure, DMs have a wide catalogue now, but not as "bovver"-based as back then when they had that work boot-edge instead of edgethot-ness.

Solovair is all made in like one or two factories.
