Awful QC, outsourced, animal abusing, lowest-grade leather, unrepairable, fast fashion boots. Solovair is the much better option, even if they’ve fallen in terms of quality and affordability post-COVID.
Tbh I’m surprised some 2014-eras have lasted that long but they’ve certainly gone down. The last straw for me was when they ended their “For Life” line and have since refused to honor the pledge for many people (myself included) who should still be in the system. Not that I’d even want a pair of boots that Docs has made in the past 5 years. They were good while they lasted, but modern Docs feel like they’re made with paper-thin low grade leather and plastic soles that dry rot within months.
Thanks for the tip about Solovair, for when I eventually do need to replace them. I would’ve just ended up buying another pair of docs, and then ended up disappointed

Interesting. My doc’s have lasted me almost a decade so far, but maybe the quality was better back then

That’s depressing.
