  • We visited Dr. Martens' only UK factory on Cobbs Lane in Wollaston, Northamptonshire. This is where Dr. Martens makes its iconic "Made in England" collection. The factory employs 50 workers that make about 100,000 pairs of boots per year, which is only one percent of what the brand makes as a whole!

      I mean that may be hard core to you but I imagined this whole video more to be in the tone of:
      "First a new Dr.Martens egg is formed by one of the 6 laying sisters of the lesbicus each identified by her own mix of 3/4 jeans, t-shirt and tie.
      Than 2 brave workers take the eggs one by one and carry it to the succubus pen, where it is implanted and will incubate for the next 12-16 weeks. During this phase the carrying succubi must be fed according to their liking. To protect the workers from the fire spat during the feedings a thick layer of protective kevlar-glass wool gear is worn.
      When their time has come a new pair of lesbian shoes is born. Always in pairs, one the exact mirror image of the other. Their color is solely dependent on the nutrition of the mother and the temperature of the succubui's uterus during the incubation phase.
      After separation from their surrogate mother the new pair is carefully packaged and shipped to one of 94 locations worldwide.

    Dm's shoes quality had declined ever since they started making in Asia (Thailand, Vietnam and China). Even Made in England's has low quality issue compared on what they made in the early 90's. Solovair's shoes is a must-try if I ever end up going to Italy or England. lol

      paul watson that’s so awesome!!! I remember first seeing these shoes when I was 19! My friend had some of these and let me wear them for a week and I fell in love immediately! These shoes always had me in “bad ass” mode lol! But I never bought any! Like I said before I just didn’t have the money and thought it was so pricy. I’m 25 now and am honestly glad I didn’t buy any before because I don’t think I would’ve appreciated them as much as I would now after seeing this. I live in America and just knowing that you guys give tours and keep it so tight knit in your factory family gives a nice and fresh experience for your all of your customers. You guys all must work so hard too! Insider did an amazing job at showing the thorough steps taken in making these and also showing the speed and focus that you’re all required to meet! It seems like a very down to earth company but I think having down to earth employees is really rare nowadays just because we live in such a fast pace type of era and seeing so much passion in a brand is always inspiring. And I think there should be some recognition of all that hard work even if you do have good pay and benefits with your work. You guys go the distance! I’m super proud of all you hard workers at the doc factory as well as the dedicated workers at Insider! You all are very much appreciated by the public and I genuinely wish you a fantastic rest of the year! Thank you so much for responding back to my comment too! You and everyone who agree with my comments all made my day! Much love to you all!!!🤗💕

    At one time, when the sole wore down, you could have your DM's returned to the factory to have new soles fitted. I had a pair resoled once & when I returned them a second time, they were lost. I was sent a brand new pair as a replacement. The first pair I owned were junior DM's in 1972, a child's size 4, brown leather with a stitched toecap.

      They were first manufactured in England, they were designed there. They are made with specific requirements. But yeah, thanks to this free trade bullshit, we're all forced to deal with the lack of care Asians put into products.
      By "Asians", I mean the people who run the companies who pay workers shit wages, and have hardly any pride in their work.

      @kristianbrandt3012 4 года назад +247

      With machines and underpaid workers likely. But had Dr Martens started out with hand sewing their boots I'm sure somebody would've frowned at a switch to sewing machines. Truth be told the Asian boot is a better looking product, the stitches are much more uniform precisely because they were made by a machine. The only real difference is the quality of the leather, which is tougher(and therefore harder to break in) but even so, if you take care of the mass produced shoe it will last. If you buy the Chinese shoe you're not getting a shit product.

      Not just the ones made abroad, I gave DM one more chance and splurged for the Made in England ones, they lasted nine months (where I wore them maybe 2-3 times a week) before the sole was completely worn away, and more importantly falling away from the boot (you could fit three fingers through it). Never buying again, may change to Solovair.

    I've spent half a life time living where I am. I was clearing out part of the attic during lockdown, and found an unworn pair of size 12 (UK) 10 hole black Dokkies with steel toecaps, still in the box. They were bought second hand though, and a note inside said: Brick lane (which is a street market in London) £7, June 1987. I bet I haggled trying to get that price down. I smoothered them in hide cream and left them for a month, then polished them up. Lovely and comfortable........

    When buying The Dr Martens' shown in this video you have to buy the "Made in England" collection, which runs $50-75 more..
    The standard Dr Martens' lines are all mass produced in Thailand, hence the whole page on their website about Ethical Trade and Child labor...

    Had my last pair for 5 years to the month. I wore them just about every time I left my house for the entirety of those five years. I wore them hiking, to the snow, to the beach, to concerts, everywhere. I wore them everyday at work doing 4 days of 10 hours, sometimes standing, sometimes walking up to 15 miles per day. There is hardly anything left to the soles now, but I know if I had to I could probably manage to get another year or two out of them. They had just begun to split after losing all markings on the bottom. Bought a new pair last week.

    I'm still under the impression that a true welt is meant to be stitched both to the upper and the sole - not only for durability, but also for resoleability. My question now is whether the fused PVC sole equals or exceeds the strength of a properly stitched sole (never mind that it cannot be resoled).

    When I was a student (20 years ago) I used to wear them. That or Clark’s wallabies. Both were made in England and affordable. Doc Marten’s moved production to China but was still selling them at the same price (I stopped buying them at this point of time, and they lost a great deal of their loyal customers too). Now they brought part of the production to England... but at a serious premium. How greed has destroyed an icon...
