Having worn Doc Martens most of my life i've now switched to Solivair, last pair of 'Docs' i bought wore through the upper in 6 months and ripped my feet to shreds, the Solovair i replaced them with are still like new after a year and are the comfiest boots i've ever worn.
The only downside is explaining why you're wearing 'knock off Docs' to hipsters, but i generally go with 'They're Doc Martens with all the Vietnamese Child Labour taken out (allegedly)'
i would loooove to get a pair of solovairs, but i can’t get over the slight silhouette change where the “ceiling” part of the boot (i know nothing about shoe anatomy terms) has a slight bend inwards as it reaches down and connects with the “floor” :(
You mean where the sole is stitched to the leather?
Yeah, the iconic yellow stitching on Docs is likely trademarked, Solovairs are grey stitching.
