Why Dr Martens is so expensive?

The air-cushioned sole was licensed to the Griggs company in Northampton, and the 1460 boot was created. As the industry shrank, the cost of manufacturing shoes in England also got more expensive. And by 2002 it already cost around $87 for a pair of Doc Martens. That’s around $140 with inflation.

Are Dr Martens made in China real?

All Doc Martens used to be made in England, but like every other company in the world, they’re trying to cut production costs. They now outsource their standard shoes and boots to either China or Thailand – I’ve seen both on the current market, though the Thai ones seem more common in the United States these days.

Are there any Chinese made Dr Martens boots?

Oddly enough, though, neither do some of the Chinese-made boots. There seems little rhyme or reason on the non-English ones. This seems a little inconsistent from one color to another, but some of the new Thai-made 1460’s have a Dr. Marten’s logo stamped into the side.

What’s the difference between Thai and Chinese Doc Martens?

The Thai/Chinese ones obviously don’t. The 1490’s and 1460’s differ in this, so you don’t see it in the photos of our 1490’s, but the new 1460’s sometimes have a top collar (a “lip” around the top of the boot). The Vintage Collection ones don’t have this. Oddly enough, though, neither do some of the Chinese-made boots.

Are there any Dr Martens that are made in Thailand?

This seems a little inconsistent from one color to another, but some of the new Thai-made 1460’s have a Dr. Marten’s logo stamped into the side. (The 1490’s all seem to have this too.)
