Dr. Martens are still made in England. Their quality is good.
Having said that, they...like many brands...have overseas fashion models under their brand which people ignorantly buy and get SuperMAD when they realize they aren't tanks. For example, their English 1460s are $260 and the overseas ones are $170 and to the normal consumer that makes a decision in .002 seconds they won't see this to stop and consider.
Now, zero people would consider Dr. Martens to be still in their killer, last 200 years heyday. But the internet, being a fickle beast, is mostly wrong about Dr. Martens as its a tale of two cities: Made in England versions and made overseas versions with a hat tip to the English versions. Will they last you 20 years? Probably not. Will they last you 300% longer than Mr. Dartens from Target? Yep.
