What good is it if the product is relatively cheap, but then one observes that it was no longer manufactured in the usual quality? So it was with Martens that I had purchased from the Far East production and still so anfühlten after one year, than they need to be registered. Ultimately, I had to discard. These shoes made in England seem to be back to the way I know that from earlier times. Although the "endurance test" is still pending, but with these shoes, there can already be run much better.
