I've worn Dr Martens forever. The older ones were great and lasted forever. Now, if you buy he standard versions they are not made nearly as well. I used to get more than three years out of a pair before they were trashed. Then they could be refurbished. The new ones are only good for about a year. Still the most comfortable work shoes I've ever worn. They make the originals still and call them something special, can't remember now. They are double the price of the standards, still made in the original English factory and will last forever, and can be resoled as part of the price. These are the ones I wear outside of work.
Anyway, still love the Docs. Just be aware of the limitations of the standard versions.
