I'm really disappointed with what has happened to the good old Dr.Martens. Otherwise, the quality is always a safe bet, so has become really bad. I've bought a couple of Amazon, which I could complain weeks after six (!). The upper leather was cracked and brittle. Uncomplicated replacement was delivered quickly. But which are again not flawlessly. After six months, a ridge is some broken in the sole under the heel well. Running is unpleasant. And the vamp is also no longer really nice. And, although I my shoes always very low-maintenance.
This was definitely the last pair Martens that I bought. For almost 90 I can demand better quality. Since Dr.Martens price differs, where the shoes were manufactured, it is only Committee. 90 of Taiwan goods and 150 for original UK-Ware ??? What ???
