Anyone remember when Doc’s were still being made in England? I bought these in the mid 90’s I think. Is the quality still any good?glass_harp t1_jdgqocb wrote

One more thing: they are actually sewn together (not welded/glued like Docs) and therefore you can resole them. They even offer the replacements and service themselves.

You can resole Dr. Martens and they are actually sewn together, Solovair are just attached more traditionally.

Yeah, ask a cobbler to resole your Docs. Good luck! I asked at least five different cobblers and nobody was willing to resole Docs.

They are more challenging, but with the interwebs, all things are possible.

They are melted on and the welt is fake. it can be done. I’ve definitely seen videos, but from what I’ve read most cobblers won’t do it.

Please don't. It is a version of a blind welt.
