They've changed... Feb 14, 2007 By B. Kemp
I bought these to replace an identical pair that I've been wearing for ten years. I got the old ones in London, and they were made in England. This new pair was made in China. They have changed...some for the good and some for the bad. There is now more toe room, which I like. However, both heel pads were ill fitted and loose. I had to trim them and stick them back in with super glue. I'm starting to really break them in now and I think I'll love them for years to come. They provide good ankle support and keep my feet warm. Buyer beware that these boots come very very stiff, and will take time to break in. When I first get them, I just wear them around the house occasionally until I can actually wear them out for a bit. If you try to wear them too long when you first get them, they will most definitely wear blisters on your feet. Break them in slowly and you'll have a wonderfully comfortable pair of boots to last a long time.

They've Gone Downhill... Apr 17, 2009 By J3 "j3"
yes, people will still buy these for the DM mystique; yes, they still look cool; yes, the leather can still be worn battered and bruised, a la skins or goths, or polished to a brilliant shine.
BUT -
They are not in the same league, as when they were made in England. The cushion is gone, the interior of the leather is rough and stiff, as though the leather was never treated. Construction is solid and 'industrial' and I really LOVED my old pairs, which I wore for an average of 6 to 8 years. But these, for the price, will look good on you, and that's all. I gave mine away after trying to break them in for over 6 months and treating the leather with every kind of dressing I could. My old, old combat boots were easier to break in, many years ago.

My recommendation - if you like the goth / skins look, spend a few more bucks and get a seriously good boot that you can wear clubbing, biking or just hanging and chilling, and that will alsotreat your feet and legs with respect. If you want boots for work, for military, LEO or paintball, go with Original SWAT or Altama. If you just HAVE to have Doc Martens, then go ahead, but know in advance that you're gonna be hurting.

Chinese quality control issues unfounded Aug 13, 2007 By Ahmad A. Chaudhary
I've been wearing Docs for 10 years and have had many pairs, UK and Chinese made and the only ones I've had that had problems weas one UK made pair where the sole stitching began to unravel. Other than that, all have been great including these 1919's. I like the look of the leather better than my UK made 1940's (14i steel toe) since it is shinier. Consequently, it is also stiffer. The air soles on these Chinese made 10i's were very responsive and soft for a pair of Doc's. Since I was on my feet working in a warehouse for about 12 hours a day in them for a few months straight, I was pretty happy about that. If you have high arches, want to preserve the cardboard insoles, want a better fit for skinny feet or want some extra comfort, I recommend cushioned insoles. However, for summer months they can make your feet hot. I also recommend mink oil to preserve the leather, flat sneaker-style laces, though as I've had this pair for almost two years now, the laces have mysteriously not broken, a definite first for any pair of Docs I have had.

buy new laces Jan 09, 2007 By Enealio "Enealio"
as always, the boots are great. docs never let me down, except in one area, the laces. i don't know who they get these from but every pair i've ever owned has had the laces fray up w/in the first week. that makes lacing up ten eyes pretty darn difficult.

Docs Oct 17, 2007 By JK
The other reviews were right--Docs are not as comfortable as they were back when I wore them in high school. The leather looks cheaper, and it's taking longer to break them in.
