I've got a pair of light brown wing tips that I still wear. I have a pair of 8-eye black boots that I believe would survive a nuclear holocaust. Quality product

I have a pair of casual boots I wear from every 6 months or so. I was once an ironworker by trade, I bought of pair of Docs to work in and they didn't last 3 months.

I wore a pair of the steel toe Wellingtons about 10 years ago when I worked offshore. Loved them.

Wore them every day to high school. They were comfortable as shite. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

I still have a pair hanging around somewhere. They were great when they were British made, but unfortunately shipped just about everything to China a few years back.

I have 8 eye Browns I use for hunting and yard work and such. Love those boots if they ever wear out ( not looking like they will) I'll search for another pair.

They were also one of the most comfortable the 3 months they held together. Another one that was very comfortable were Twisted X, they didn't last very long either. Now I wear These Worx made by Redwing both to work and around the house when I'm in the shed or doing something outside, working as an ironworker they would last me anywheres from 10 mths to a year. Very comfortable, light and they seam to hold up pretty good.

Wore a pair of brown leather slip ons through a four year residency and a three year fellowship. Loved those shoes. Wore them out. Never could find a replacement pair. Called the company. Asked if there was any way soles could be replaced. They asked me to mail them in for "an estimate". New pair of shoes (different style) arrived in my mail a week later. Never saw my shoes again.

Doc Martens were very high quality when they were produced in the UK.
Sometime in the early 2000's they began outsourcing their labor and the quality of the brand plummeted dramatically.
