I wear out boots.

That’s what I do. But you know what I’ve never done before? Worn out boots in six months, especially boots that have a reputation for being ‘rugged’.

Sure, I walk an hour or two a day, but I’ve had generic $50 boots last for two years and these Docs can’t last a year? The tops are barely broken in and yet they’ve split from the soles from midboot to toe.

I’m not sure when they started making Doc Martens in China, probably right around the same time everything else started being made in China. I’m not even sure if that has anything to do with the quality level of this particular pair of boots, all I know is I’m not buying Docs ever again.

Never.
