A pair of Docs before, it was known to last for ten years. Today they are made in Asia, it has become the true m ****. Mine (made in Thailand) do not have a two-year gap is already soles because of wear (and therefore unwearable when it rains) It annoys me, because they are still expensive. Forget Dr Martens, buy Solovair (the company that manufactured the docs past, those that have made the brand reputation).
