    Doc Marten Boots In Style Anymore?

    Other the lack of the yellow thread, I cannot tell any difference, they look good, and very DM-like.

    Resole Dr Martens?

    I have a few MIE DMs that are exactly like the above ones. No metal in the eyelets. I have a few pairs that look new on the outside but the heel is worn beyond salvaging and you cannot resole them, pity. So they have been relegated to the beater status. This is one problem when getting used...

    Doc Marten Boots In Style Anymore?

     Never saw that happen with MIE anything since I got them in late 90's and I wear 13UK (14US). I wear either 8053 or 1461 99% of the time and everything else occasionally. Did not wear MIC ones long enough to see it happen, very strange. I saw minor quality flaws but no catastrophic failure...

    Doc Marten Boots In Style Anymore?

     I have a few pairs of 1461 like that, al MIE -- perfectly normal. Some had 3 and some had 4 eyelets. Strange how they don't use metal eyelets. Hasn't caused any problems, other than the eyelets look better. I have never seen a 8053 without metal eyelets.

    Doc Marten Boots In Style Anymore?

    My favorite DM is probably 8053. Here it is, mostly MIE with a few exceptions, along with some 1461 some of which have 3 and some have 4 eyelets. When 8053 transitioned from MIE to MIC, it was a major disappointment. It shrank 1/2 size, became both narrower and smaller and takes forever to...

    Lexol helps with cracks. I have a pair I never took care of and finally it cracked badly.

    Doc Marten Boots In Style Anymore?

    @etcetera, in the last pictures of your shoes, are all of the (5) 5 eyelet shoes 8053's and the (3) 3-eyelet shoes all 1461's? And are those 2 shoes similar in shape and design? I'm looking for a less bulbous and sleeker look. Very similar if not the same. I have four 5-eyelet, three 4-eyelet...

    Doc Martens

    I like DMs. Here is my collection. My favorite is 8053.

    Resole Dr Martens?

    Question is, is resoling cost-efficient. You can get like-new DMs off Ebay for around 40-50 FRNs, often MIE ones and MIC ones can be bought new for that much. Now that's shoes like 1461, not boots like 1460. That's less than the cost of resoling.

    Doc Martens

    It looks really nice for being from 1999. It looks like the sole is just beginning to get worn. I have that model in size 12.5UK or 13.5US, when they still made half sizes. Also have a few 8287 boots. Three MIE and one MIC. But I like the model shown in OP better. It's harder to get snow and...

    Resole Dr Martens?

    FWIW, asked my local cobbler to re-sole Dr. Martens, he refused, said it cannot be done. Love these shoes, have a dozen of them, boots included. The most comfortable shoe ever made even with no width options. But they wear so slowly that it takes me years to wear them out. The rest of the shoe...
