LOL! Why? Pride?

my name is helen and my last name starts with a d

The doc martens i have now fooled me. I thought they'd be good boots if made in England but they are crap . The leather upper is cracking up at the fold lines . Shouldn't happen. I'd allege that manufacturer sabotaged the leather deliberately by maybe exposing to high heat . I've had two other doc martens with exactly same condition . Other comments say the same stuff . Avoid doc martens, also avoid blundstone. For blundstone though they sabotage the sole .

@@michaelcorbidge7914 I had the same problem with both the made in Thailand & made in England boots, the made in England took longer to crack, however, using wonder balm and or mink oil before wearing them and a couple applications after, completely stopped the problem, the leather as received is too dry without conditioning and will crack no matter what, however when you soften the leather they will last just like vintage docs, I have had another pair since 1987

My gf also hates when I'm right XD

I know! Beautiful wee Cornish Rex!

He did, it’s called Pussy Galore

He will cut it in half next week.

@@johno6861 🤣

Oh dear 🙀

Timberlands for sure. Redwings are pricey.

Timberlands are made pretty much the same way as the regular Dr Martens, the difference being that the sole is glued rather than welted.

@@javierchapa5662 just search "red wing cross section", there are pictures online already

How about Thursday boots

@@kristianbrandt3012 depending on the Timberland. The earth keepers are goodyeared from what I can tell.

Another thing might be that he formed a genuine connection with his pairs of made in England doc martens

shekels ha ha I wish! zack is a close friend of mine though so he definitely inspired this whole cutting open/review series

@@RoseAnvil idc keep doing it

To be fair his insite into the materials is what really matters

Yeah it’s he’s doing it to analyse the build quality. He’s not cutting them in half for the fun of it

@@alexj7440 I mean, I think there's still some fun to be had while analyzing quality. Otherwise, why bother?

Instead of donating my body to science like I'd planned, I think I'd rather do ate to this channel. Especially after this past fricking year of **SPIN THE WHEEEL OF DOCTORS!!!** where I've been referred to eleventy thousand docs for the corresponding number of diseases/disorders (most of them corresponding to my autoimmune mess). All of that to say: I've got enough medical stuff going on that it should be fun to cut me in half if he wants to ((damn you, RA brain fog, what is the word??)) Work with someone else here on UKposts to do it. Train wreck. I'm a train wreck.

Eli Jone It's definitely better than a channel that would just say "woah. It's like a shoe, but in more pieces"

Nrthn Munky So are the made in England’s aren’t they?

@@oxfordrc1613 Yep, Northamptonshire

send him a pair

Hi Nrthn Munky. I'm in Wollaston, where abouts are you?

Really Rose Anvil had already decided he didn't like the Thai boot before he cut one open, he doesn't emphasise the difference between poorly made and not as well made. The Thai boot does not suck, it's a perfectly good boot for its' price. If it did suck they wouldn't sell the Made in England boot. Rose Anvil is effectively holding the Asian made boot to a standard that's too high for its' price. It's like saying a BMW 3-series sucks because it's not a Rolls Royce.

Technique.

When he cuts towards himself: CRINGE. I mean, don't get me wrong, the man knows his craft... it's just I've seen so many traumatic injuries.

@@thewinterwhite you people rabbit on like you know what you're talking about. Of course the man is cutting towards himself. You need strength and control of the cut cutting through bits of shoe. Scoring cuts are made inwards.. it is the correct way to do it. Cutting out with that type of cut is actually more hazardous not just to the user but to the general surroundings. Is he going to randomly stab himself? No. The arm is moving back into the chest. If the cut were to slip (And it won't because this man obviously knows the importance of a sharp knife) his arm would move back into his chest. The only thing you have to be concerned about is keeping your other hand away from the trajectory of the blade, which this guy seems to understand.

@@adifferentangle7064 You need to learn to read, you poor misguided fool. Your reaction is not relevant to what I said at all.

Jonathan Winterwhite omg ikr my anxiety kinda spikes sometimes watching him cut towards himself.

fayekhelmi I’ve tried them on and they seem nice but I’m curious about their build quality too given their price.

No no no, my Thursday boots fell apart after barely over a month, I commented on their Facebook ad that kept coming up, company pretended they would help so the others would see this, then ghosted me,. Then ended up disabling my comments, but I would still get the ads.

My docs in high school had dr. Martens by solovair on the back loop. Brings back memories

I never owned a par but I remember back in the day the yellow tag behind the boot saying solovair.

I was torn too, but I went ahead and got the Made in England 1460’s for the look :P I knew they were better than Thai ones and I thought they looked better than solovairs

solovair brother

Solovair are great boots, but they’ll just never be Docs I’m afraid.

Hey thanks! I appreciate that. Im thinking the same thing ha ha

Well, people want lighter and less hot boots.

I believe this is the video ukposts.info/have/v-deo/g3OegK5saI58t6s.html

@@mattmiller4778 Thanks! I don't know how I missed that.

Phil Meeks ha ha my dad literally called me after this video and got mad at me for cutting towards myself 😂

ya for real! I just ordered a pair last night!

This has me intrigued...

The Tall Girl +

This is interesting. But I think a wear test would be a good feature if it was to be done. Vegan leather v real leather. I'm interested.

A thing I noticed was that their sizing were like 2 times smaller than regular docs.

yes cut open a vegan :P

Tell him to use red stitching and I would deffo buy, something that pops like the yellow

I would love to see a "cut in half" of the Classic Solovair Derby Boot.

Cool, there's another guy in a comments who lives where u do

@@Murphy252000 Yes, red would be good, or at least a much lighter, contrasting grey.

@@JagoffCitizen yeah, the grey is cack

doc martens still have at least half a dozen stores still open in bangkok my dude

I have had my made in England boots for over a year now, I wear them almost daily and they still look like new, completely worth paying the extra for them. For anyone hesitating, don't, honestly don't waste your money on anything else, GET MADE IN ENGLAND'S!

Callum Daniel yeah man I’m planning on getting one for sure. But I must say if the regular smooth leather is on sale,it’s not a bad deal either. I got mine for about three years now,got it for about $100. Travel with them around the world,don’t care about rain or snow. Yet they still don’t look bad at all 👌

@@cd7246 RUBBISH BOOTS for 2-3 weeks ..tread gone and holes everywhere !

hahaaa

They aren't. Why did my £170 Dr Martens split after just six months? www.theguardian.com/money/2019/nov/25/dr-martens-boots-quality-wear-tear

@@FFVoyager idk people seemed to have a mixed bag with DMs, I got a pair for free, my girlfriend at the times mum had bought the wrong size and lost the receipt so they were given to me, they stood up to a motorbike crash, and stopped my ankles from breaking (yes I would prefer better protective gear but did not have the money at the time) followed by a season of festival waste work walking around 12hrs a day in often deep mud (at one point they had to bring in a pump to remove liquid mud from around the main stage) and they've held up fine, you can see the road rash on one of them but apart from that no real damage, Idk if I'd ever pay full price for docs but I'll keep wearing them 'till they fall off my feet

i kinda hope he tell us which is which but hey hopefully he did that on future video

Someone must have ADHD. Short attention span. Figures. A wiseman once said. When you are doing something. Anything. Pay attention. Plonk.

i just got them in the mail!

Lol same! I'm amazed he doesn't realise the value of a cat's arse obscuring the frame.

@@JagoffCitizen excactly !

He's just trying to compare the durability and construction quality between them but It would be too expensive for a small channel to just spend 500 euros for boots to destroy. He also made videos comparing the leathers.

Cause people want to see

Ppl wanna see what they r buying. I'd never buy that foam crap if i knew about it
