Title: Avoid!
Product review: My first pair of 1460s lasted 8 years of near constant abuse. Heck they are still wearable, but the leather is looking really worn, and they aren't as comfortable as they once were. Two years ago, I picked up a new asian-manufactured pair and wore them only intermittently, maybe a couple times a week to a couple times a month. They did not become attached to my feet like my first pair. I rarely wore them in the winter this year. After two years of minimal wear, the weld cracked, causing the outsole to pop off between the heel and the balls of the feet. Whatever happened to their touted goodyear welding? This is unacceptable, and Dr. Marten lost a customer until their manufacturing standards return. There are better shoes out there you can spend your $100+ on.I heard Solovair makes what these guys forgot to make in the quest for the almighty GBP/$. I will check them out the next time I got some cash to spend on boots.
