Dr Martens FS206 Lace-Up Shoe's

Haven't bought DM safety shoes in years, last pair I had I took back for a refund,they killed my feet,painful on the heels.
Latest pair I bought from our host, & wide fitting, but usually I wear smart safety trainers nearly all the time.

DM in my experience overpriced rubbish, but ok if your a bobber boy from the 70s

 

Bobber boy????


Bovver boy that's what I was called with my 10 hole DMs.

 

Well spotted meant Bovver

 

The Airwair soles are now made overseas. The last firm that made them under licence in the UK ceased trading three years ago.

The modern soles wear out very, very quickly.

Modern workwear shoes/boots are more advanced and cheaper whilst DM's are now sadly only for fashion

Agreed - between my son and his girlfriend they must have around 8 pairs of DM's, all in bright colours and lurid patterns

Business must be booming for the Doc as they are the fashion 'must have' and a never ending range of colours and designs keep appearing

As you've mentioned, partly made overseas now so not fully helping with our own economy

 

Last day I joined an construction company. This is a new area to me. By my colleague's suggestion I bought a pair of safety shoes. My feet is comparatively bigger . Poorly fitting of shoes lead to problems like fallen arches. As a advice my senior asked me to purchase a pair of men's safety shoe. I think I will get it online. Any idea about men's safety shoes online?

 

Hi deloiss, I gather English is not your first language, I would advise trying on different shoes to see what's comfortable, if you are from these shores you may be able to call in at an ARCO branch they used to stock a good supply of safety shoes/boots
