Yeah they aren’t an iconic, quality, British boot anymore

I’ve seen many stories of their newer products falling to pieces within a year of use. Enshittification to save a few quid should always be rewarded by the total financial obliteration of the business – it’s the only way they’ll learn, folks.

My 1990’s made in England DMs were awesome – comfortable, long lasting, and a true Go Anywhere Do Anything item. I even wore mine to a black tie event (they polished up nicely).
My later made in China DMs were just shadow of the earlier ones. Very disappointing.
Good news though: You can still get original made in England DMs, made in the original factory on the original machines. They are made by the same company – NPS Shoes – that used to make the boots for Doc Martens! I’ve got two pair and they’re great.
