DR MARTENS SHOES ARE COPIED ENDLESSLY WHY SETTLE FOR FAKES WHEN YOU DESERVE THE ORIGINALS. 

A pair of Dr Martens is not cheap by any standards since they cost at least RM 450 for a decent pair and the ones I like are over RM 600 but if you convert them into pound sterling then it is around 120 pounds which is what you will pay in London! 

Dr Martens last forever and many fans swear the pair they bought two decades ago are still in great condition and indeed looking even better with the signs of the passage of time!

Anyway, here are my favourite Dr Martens. Actually I cannot make up my mind so the best solution is to feature all! Like fight temptation when it is so much more pleasurable and intoxicating to give in!

In fact there are some new Dr Martens that looked aged as if worn for donkey's years! They even have the scuffed, scruffy and scratched marks accrued naturally over the decade! So now your brand new Dr Martens can look like you have been wearing them since 2000! Exactly like your faded, stone-washed jeans with built-in shreds and holes!

_ABOUT DR. MARTENS

Throughout Dr. Martens history, the brand has been adopted and subverted by countless rebellious characters, subcultures and tribes. These are the people who stand out from the crowd in their own unique way and for many, their journey of self- expression has always been accompanied by a pair of Doc’s. Dr. Martens celebrates these free-thinking individuals – from first time wearers to those who have been with the brand forever. These are the authentic characters that stand Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, designed by German inventor, Dr. Klaus Maertens, was engineered primarily to meet the

The Dr. Martens boot, manufactured by R Griggs and Co, British boot makers, with its trademark yellow stitch, grooved sole and heel-loop, was a boot for workers, initially worn by postmen and policemen; comfortable, durable and lightweight in comparison to its competitors at the time.

A specific range of “Made In England” products are still manufactured in the Cobbs Lane factory, Wollaston, England which has been making footwear for the Griggs family since 1901. It is the home of the original Dr. Martens boot and within this small factory works a close-knit team of people schooled in traditional shoe-making and the unique process that makes Dr. Martens like no other shoe on earth.

This is the factory where it all began; where the first pair of Dr. Martens boots rolled off the production line on April 1^st, 1960. The manufacturing process has been fine-tuned and perfected ever since – from the cutting of the leather hides to the heat-sealing with a blade of fire that welds the air-cushioned sole to the upper.
