Yup, toxic plastic fumes not to mention that process, depending on how well it was done, will lead to early failure, within approx 1 year!

It has Steve, bought a pair back in the 90’s pure shit. The sole did departs thus never bought another pair. Waste of money. Boots didn’t even see a year.

Separate

I mean that may be hard core to you but I imagined this whole video more to be in the tone of: "First a new Dr.Martens egg is formed by one of the 6 laying sisters of the lesbicus each identified by her own mix of 3/4 jeans, t-shirt and tie. Than 2 brave workers take the eggs one by one and carry it to the succubus pen, where it is implanted and will incubate for the next 12-16 weeks. During this phase the carrying succubi must be fed according to their liking. To protect the workers from the fire spat during the feedings a thick layer of protective kevlar-glass wool gear is worn. When their time has come a new pair of lesbian shoes is born. Always in pairs, one the exact mirror image of the other. Their color is solely dependent on the nutrition of the mother and the temperature of the succubui's uterus during the incubation phase. After separation from their surrogate mother the new pair is carefully packaged and shipped to one of 94 locations worldwide.

Screams in OSHA

😂😂😂😂

But do you know what they make instead? Money

Solovair is the way to go. I just got the dealer boots

I totally agree, it's about the company saving money but the quality suffers, it's a real downer

I had Dr Martens for many years, until the pair of boots that I had which were made in Asia fell apart after a month. That was the last pair that I will ever buy and I told this story to many people who previously bought the English manufactured Dr Martens

Dont give up yet. Just buy vintage. Just last month off of poshmark i got the 2 tone 3989s. Excellent condition …. Vintage quality. Not the asian crap nor the made in england price. $50

From what I read they are made in China and Thailand now

@@billpiehler9010 No, they still make the Made in England version

They said on the boot made in England or China or Vietnam

@J B exactly

@@MotaShotta still supports the corrupt company though

5 PAIRS that is so much

Asa Gillespie not really

[KIKI] I don't have any, but my mum and dad had those boots and other brand's. I mean, if 5 pairs are all that guy's parents had, it's not really "too many".

[KIKI] that’s like 500 hundreds dollars on the same pairs of shoes!!

They have been around for a long time. I had several pairs in middle school and high school. In 92 and up.

Alexandra Marina you have to make sure it's the made in England versions. Most are actually made in China and cost almost the same amount. If you ever buy a pair, look on the sole for the made in England stamp

Simone H oh dang! Thank you so much for the heads up Simone!! I’ll be sure to make sure it’s from England! It’s so admirable to know they kept it old school and reserved a bit of history. This is so cool. They need to start paid tours and have the earnings split between all those workers by the middle of end of the year! I’d gladly pay extra to see my docs made!

I agree with that.I`m the operative on the welt sewer putting the yellow thread on.We have regular tours every week These range from people that are life long DM fans to familys that have curious kids

Alexandra Marina I

paul watson that’s so awesome!!! I remember first seeing these shoes when I was 19! My friend had some of these and let me wear them for a week and I fell in love immediately! These shoes always had me in “bad ass” mode lol! But I never bought any! Like I said before I just didn’t have the money and thought it was so pricy. I’m 25 now and am honestly glad I didn’t buy any before because I don’t think I would’ve appreciated them as much as I would now after seeing this. I live in America and just knowing that you guys give tours and keep it so tight knit in your factory family gives a nice and fresh experience for your all of your customers. You guys all must work so hard too! Insider did an amazing job at showing the thorough steps taken in making these and also showing the speed and focus that you’re all required to meet! It seems like a very down to earth company but I think having down to earth employees is really rare nowadays just because we live in such a fast pace type of era and seeing so much passion in a brand is always inspiring. And I think there should be some recognition of all that hard work even if you do have good pay and benefits with your work. You guys go the distance! I’m super proud of all you hard workers at the doc factory as well as the dedicated workers at Insider! You all are very much appreciated by the public and I genuinely wish you a fantastic rest of the year! Thank you so much for responding back to my comment too! You and everyone who agree with my comments all made my day! Much love to you all!!!🤗💕

Velvetmango it’s shame but also would means every pair of DM’s would cost like £200-£250.... however since they last forever it’s pretty good value for money

They were first manufactured in England, they were designed there. They are made with specific requirements. But yeah, thanks to this free trade bullshit, we're all forced to deal with the lack of care Asians put into products. By "Asians", I mean the people who run the companies who pay workers shit wages, and have hardly any pride in their work.

@@haidengeary8277 Solovair used to make them, id go with them.

to be fair, they almost ran out of business too. The Chinese factory decision kinda saved them.

I just got a pair today. Their a bit pricey but worth it because I feel like the quality is very very good. I never knew they made them now in Asia. Everything these days in made their tbh from I phones to Michael Kors.... I’m not saying it’s bad but European goods are usually more idk how to say it more quality and luxury brands that are Italian and French.

I have the doc Martin steel toe boots made in China. The sole split after a year or so

With machines and underpaid workers likely. But had Dr Martens started out with hand sewing their boots I'm sure somebody would've frowned at a switch to sewing machines. Truth be told the Asian boot is a better looking product, the stitches are much more uniform precisely because they were made by a machine. The only real difference is the quality of the leather, which is tougher(and therefore harder to break in) but even so, if you take care of the mass produced shoe it will last. If you buy the Chinese shoe you're not getting a shit product.

@Bomber Harris A youtuber called Rose Anvil has a series of video's cutting up an comparing Dr Martens with Solovair boots, ons of the original British contractors who made shoes for Dr Martens before the Martens before being dumped in favor for Chinese manufacture.

Mine were made in vietnam. Not sure if it's gonna last

Not just the ones made abroad, I gave DM one more chance and splurged for the Made in England ones, they lasted nine months (where I wore them maybe 2-3 times a week) before the sole was completely worn away, and more importantly falling away from the boot (you could fit three fingers through it). Never buying again, may change to Solovair.

The originals where pretty dope yea but the "current" ones (the "made in China" version) are horrible...

Foot padding is where the weakness are... It depend on quality of when it made.. I mean i would want to wear 16 years old shoe... it a bio-hazard....

That's when they were docs. Now they are nice knock off. Leather quality and material quality took a major hit. I made the mistake if young my originals. Replaced them with the post Nike buyout. The damn upper leather was vinyl. Rotted out. No more pride in the shoe.

@@campkira I still wear my grandpas schoes from when he fought in WW2. He, my dad and I took proper care of it so no biohazard :p

They still fit you from 17-20 years ago?

2Einhard2Melarky9 or black chuck Taylor’s

your outfit wasn't grunge if you had docs

90's oi punk. STOMPIN!

@tyvek05 this guy tryna educate grunges on their own style 😭😂😂

@@jasperherron5267 no docs aren't truly that grunge

How is its condition after 3 years? I’ve known about Martens for quite sometimes now but never gotten one myself.

John Wee or use shoe polish

I don't think they'll ever die you just grow out of them 😂😂😂 only thing wrong with them- they don't grow with you 😂

You mean after you die in them

I really want a pair

the MIEs are, the china one? Not so much.

Foot padding is where the weakness are... It depend on quality of when it made.. I mean i would want to wear 16 years old shoe... it a bio-hazard....

(●´ω｀●)Please see my UKposts❤️❤️❤️❤️💖

Tmhyde how much do they costs?

Tmhyde How comfy are they ? I want to but some. Edit: buy

alexandra Your English is fine and thank you , hopefully I will find some in my country as I don't have a credit card.

Love them, too!!!! I have a pair for 10 years. Very classical and simple design. Every time I wear them, people ask me where to buy them. ❤️

Kaya Stone

Same!

Well i’ve never looked up anything Dr Marten related in my life and this video popped up for me too so don’t feel too weird

I farted earlier. A tums commercial just came on.

Google CEO: it's just a coincidence! *smiles nervously*

why does the “LMAO” seem more like “SOS” I- 💀

Just the ones made in England.

$170 is not expensive for boots. They are expensive for Doc Martens though because they’re all made in Asia.

yeah usually good boots with serious leather that can take abuse can range from 200 to 400$, even more. Docs arent that expensive when you look at them, considering that they look extremely nice and are very durable.

LIMEY antifa BOOTIES !!!!!!!!!!

@@pammosconi9845 LMFAO!

I wonder if anyone got their pairs inspected by other than Rose

Aan Permana mine also says rose

@@aanpermana I have a pair of 1490s that were inspected by Maria 💪🏼

@@aanpermana Mine were inspected by "david"

Bob Ross

Yes, I feel sad that I didnt keep mine as the new versions made in China can last as little as 4 months before falling appart :-(

They have a "made in england" category on their webstite, but yeah, the rest of the shoes ar made in vietnam with a poor quality despite the price

The ones in the video are the 1460s I believe. If you want the real thing by US Military combat boots :)

@@harleyreyes7341 Those are made down the road that the Solovair factory in the same town.

Get TWO!

Music Teacher Guy i'm one legged !

Fair enough!

Fascinating. I did not like this shoes but to see the production make me very interested on this model. It's pretty cool to see this kind of manual production in 2018.

Jax Nean me too!!!

There's a song where the guy singing says just that... This guy is the 2nd time i've heard it... funny..

I think the British say it that way? I know in the states it's definitely more doc Martens or just docs.

I was born in Britain and I've always said Doc Martin's only recently have I heard somebody say dr

@@jesskim8596 I prefer "Doc" myself.. andi've even caught myself saying just plain ol "martins"

Yeah, just Doc Martins.

algorithm

Komeka They are now made in chinese sweatshops. Leather is fake!

I used the shoe as my phone wallpaper and the next day I got this recommendation

broo me too

Me too

Viviana Soper its just one collection made in UK the rest is made by little chinese kids bro

Child labor does not exclude hand made

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

Viviana Soper My Dr MARTENS are Made in Thailand...

the made in Asia ones are handmade too. just that they're hand made by a child being payed the equivalent of 2 cents an hour.

Motocrossx23 try timberlands then..

@@Jacob-nj5hg Timberlands are super nice, I wear them during the winter/out in the garage but at work they won't fly due to our dress code.

u havent owned any good shoes then :/

@@dan007grthedunkmaster9 okay internet.

Agreed

She's been employed there for some time it would seem.

It actually depends on the shoe, some are made in vietnam while other models are made in thailand or china or Portugal. And those ain't that bad too tbh

How can I know where mines are from ?

Gabrielle ? if your shoe is a Made in England one, its insole and sole says "Made in England" while the other shoes just have the Dr Martens Logo on their insole. if you want to know where exactly the shoes are from (if they're not MIE) there's a little grid printed inside the leather of the shoe that says the size and the production country (please excuse my poor english, it is not my mothertongue)

+ +ikiu cs Thank you, that was very helpful.

ikiu cs thank you very much, English isn’t my mother tongue either but I understood you perfectly !

Your first pair of Docs is going to make you so happy. I still remember having my Dr. Marten's cherry popped! Don't deprive yourself, get them!!!

Just a tip. Buy a pair of their socks too for when you're still softening them. Your feet will thank you.

stinkopants have your tried their made in china shoes? The quality has been spotty at best. Their safety shoes are some of my favorites for working in the lab but I had to give them up for a few years because the quality was so bad.

Docs and Timberlands are my favourite boots

You don't walk a lot,don't you?

@@campkira I had doc slip on shoes that I used to wear working as a valet years ago. Lasted forever, and were the most comfortable shoes I've used walking all day long

No kidding 🤣 durability is just the right pun

You know the factory that remains in the UK is still making boots Under the brand Solovair

Alysarine Payne did you just say 20 pairs? 😨

I approve

20????!!!!

She must be rich!

Lol 20!! I honestly live for that lol

Peace Lover you might wanna get two

Hey he might have one leg you don’t know!

Nicholas Reiger the original/real ones are made in England

dude watch the video, it clearly says 1% of the shoes are made in that factory.

Yes.. but the made in england is more expensive.., but I want One..The made in England one..

mine were made in Asia too. But if they were still made in England they'd cost 400 bucks a pair. I was skeptical of the quality but I wear mine a lot (two pair) and I've gone through three sets of laces and they're just getting BETTER!

Yeah, bought a chinese pair (in UK) 2 years old and worn out. A great company now churning out 99% dogshit.

They are expensive everywhere in the world, but that's because they are good quality of course.

I like to sit and eat i have a pair of brando 101 made in Thailand and they look fine. I wouldn’t have bought them if they hadn’t been on 50% sale though.

Haley Becker you need a different style. If you check out their website you can see some other types they have. Some come with a shorter height that might not take over your leg.

Get the shoes instead of the boots or the low rise boots, I relate bc I'm 4'9 lol I have 8+ pairs all of them are different, I even have my dad's first pair from when he was about 10 back in 1980 still going strong (I have super tiny feet UK size 3)

I'm the same height and shoe size as you which style do you have? I do feel for more petite sized people the low rise ones work best :)

@@MissRuthless I get the low rise boot and have the polley, Adrian and 1461 shoes, I also have one pair of the 1914 boots for winter because they're high rise

Same here except my legs are super muscular because of all the exercise so it looks like i have really toned man legs

@@chriskolb3105 ... "You're" obviously illiterate.

Think shoes are made in Europe and are great! Good leather from Europe, most without chrome and great unique design. I like them most.

Is that why mine only lasts a year. Every pair I own never last over a year. Leather always cracked so I stopped buying em

Aye it's the company and the customers buying them loss it ain't mine

@@sinergyflux8639 you're being too generous when you call the Chinese ones "leather"

Allison Paran Same here. Either the leather cracks or the rubber sole detaches.

I have dr Martens 1919 boots made in China for five years and just cracked off after four years, but I took the trainer to recover them to extend their life. I know a lot of friends wearing dr martens boots manufactured in China and have lasted for at least three years
