An experiment, I suspect I'll regret it, but still: Bought a pair of DrMartens!
The stitching already went up a couple of places, the thread was really, really puny. So i redid the areas with waxed linen thread. I suspect I should have just gotten a pair of custom Tricker's (Stows), but we'll see in a year or two how they fare
I do love how they look though, they are brutalbrogues, perfect for black, heavy iron heart denim
Fall/Winter boots. -
What model are those DM's, I looked at some is a shoe store in Edinburgh last weekend and have been trying to remember the name all week. I thought that they looked like great winter boots, and I've owned quite a few Docs over the years without any issues.
Edit: Are they Fitzroy's?

Correctumdo! Purist also had them but are now sold out as well. You could try and wait a little later in the year when the navy version's drop.
These Nexus by the way are made to a better standard than normal Timberlands(not that they are poor made) using Chromexcel leather only downside i feel is the standard Timberland box, i mean why no custom one or even a custom sleeve at least.

Those are the Ormond model in fact. After my initial fix, they have held up good so far.

I'm an US 10.5 in Aldens, UK 9.5 in Barker's and I bought these in UK 10, which is somewhat of a snug fit, but can use medium weight wool socks.

Navy ones, nice. Oak Street Bootmaker's winter collection should be out in a month or so too. I will pick one pair of new moc toe boots up this year!
Not seen the new lineup as yet, any good that you have seen?

Just been into H&M and spotted these horrible Grenson, Trickers and McNairy rip off boots and shoes. They felt like the cheapest, most lightweight pieces of footwear that it has ever been my misfortune to handle, but they do show that the man in the streets tastes are catching up with the man (and woman) on the exclusive clothing/ fashion forums.

One look at the leather on the top boot and you know these are cheap as they look like they are made of plastic.
