Are doc martens still decent quality in 2024? Want another pair of 1461 mono

>inb4 "solovair is le better bro"

Too much of a pain to get down here in my country as opposed to docs where I can just walk into a store. Also solovair doesn't make anything as clean as 1461 mono imo

i have a pair of jadons i bought last year. sexiest boots i own, easily the most painful, can't walk more than 3k steps.
about 2 weeks of wear before the leather started cracking on the toe.
not rly noticable, but to answer your question, no the leather quality is abysmal.
I wouldn't buy them again

Docs and Solovair are horrible mystery meat leather and severely overpriced

i got some nappa docs a few years back.
i liked them up until the point my foot rubbing in the back halfway bore a hole into it.
i have seen docs from back in the day and they were twice as thick as made in england docs today.

How about you get real shoes instead of memes ?

I don't know, I always liked mine cause they seemed the perfect mix of casual and dressy, like I've looked at other derby shoes but it's hard to imagine rocking them in the same fits I did with docs and not like too dressy
would love some suggestions if you have any

They're p shit. I got a pair of combs 4 years ago or so. They lasted maybe a few months before the leather started chipping and bubbling. It's all bonded leather schlop nowadays. Vintage docs are extremely easy to get for very cheap though on any secondhand site, and have treated me well enough from my own experience.
