I use them for work at my job, they are work boots. they have worn well for 8 years and counting. my only complaint is that I have callouses on my big toes. I could get an insert but I just sand them down.
I’ve always thought they looked cool and I ain’t gonna let you /fashion/ggots tell me otherwise. I’ve seen the meet-up pictures, most of you guys look like dorks.
I make sure to take the extra time to explain to everyone that my 1460-style boots are, in fact, Solovairs, and I paraphrase the description from the British Boot Company website. I go on to explain that I bought them FROM The British Boot Company, in London, before Solovairs caught a wave of popularity (even being featured in a documentary).
This puts me in the sweet spot of cool, knowledgeable, AND fashion-conscious. Plus they go really well with my Primark chinos + ASOS multipack Oxford shirts. Not giving a heck further proves how laid-back (and marketing-immune) I am.
>caring about what other people are wearing.

Wearing cherry red docs. Super comfortable.
Stop falling for btg propaganda, boot snobs are one of the most autistic subgroups in this board. Only maintained by a small group of elitist tards that don’t actual wear their boots or go outside, whose sole bits of information are fellow tards, marketing, and hipster youtubers(also marketers).
If they had a made a news article it would read as: "Your Boots are Uncomfortable, and That’s a Good Thing".
It’s hard to take slouching, autistic, shoe draggers seriously.
It’s an inferior product, but the cult they have amassed through superior marketing is why you wear them, like Apple products. Normies recognize them because they are normie shoes.
I think people forget how relatively cheap you can get Docs, on sale for like $150 or barely used for half that. Obviously they aren’t going to compete with /btg/ quality at that price. Docs now are affordable fashion accessory boots. For that market and price, they’re okay.
Doc’s sizing inconsistent and shit. I got a pair of 1460s and a pair of 1461s in the same size but fit completely different and they don’t have half sizes to compensate for the size difference
what are you going to do about it?
cry
Piss your pants maybe?
they are for girls/girly boys, not acceptable for men
If you dye the yellow stitching black, white, or gray you eliminate the girly factor by 80%.
I do
Why?
they look nice and they’re relatively affordable

>tranny shoes
Would
my ex gf got me into them
I wish I could do that but they’re wearing them in is a pain
Bros I’m Latino and thinking of skinheadmaxxing with some docs. I don’t really care about the racial connotations. Will I be /fashion/?
if you look white do it
i wouldnt go full skinhead, just take some silhouettes or pieces from the style
I got them for my birthday from everyone, I like them
It just occured to me that all the people I know that wear doc martens are mentally ill
what are the alternatives.?
Timbs
Even worse, Solovairs
Is there something wrong with Solovairs? I heard they’re a good alternative to Docs.
they have Docs’ old factory space but they’re still making the same low quality shoes.
Well, what are a good alternative?
idk.
a lot of modern monkeyboot makers overbuild theirs like linesman’s boots and i never see anyone talk about the ones that don’t.
What if I’m not black?
Ok now I see the issue here. Go back to Detroit piston sports forum or whatever you people do

Whenever I do the opposite of what /fashion/ says I wind up getting lots of attention and compliments, so ima just keep wearing docs

They’re also more comfortable than regular flat soled sneakers and last years. Whats there to hate?
I do, but i only own 4 pairs of vintage made in england ones, 2 shoes brown and black, and 2 boots brown and black.
heck doc martens b***h I wear new rocks
>He isn’t punkmaxxed
Sad!
I thought teenage girls and liberal arts queers hate nazis. Why are they wearing nazi boots?
They haven’t been nazi boots since the 90s. Real chuds wear military surplus boots, not Docs.

You can also find them pretty cheap second hand. I picked up some lightly worn ones for 1/3 of retail price.
