This pair of Doc, I bought it as a gift and I admit I hesitated a lot in response to customer feedback. Having no comparisons points, I can not say if it was better "before" ... I will write a summary on the product compared to what I saw and the news that I was reassembled: - The shoes are of good quality - They are comfortable - The Non-toed Docs: small precision because of the picture that can be misleading - There has linsigne Doc under the sole - There is no badge Doc "engraved" on top of the boot. - The boots come with two pairs of laces: black and yellow - They are a little long to put on and take off ... At the same time these are boots ... For now this is what I can say ... To be continued ...
