Did Dr Martens finally make a decent boot? 1460 Wax Commander + Anistone

[@RoseAnvil2]

Get the Rose Anvil x White's Drifter 3.0 in Blood Core leather now why they are in stock - bit.ly/4hdn8qv

[@frankgonzalez3822]

I liked the concept of the drifter 3.0 but really require a protective toe.

[@unfathomablecheese9462]

the wax commanders need to see the bandsaw!

[@geraldroberts4721]

About a half dozen passes so they don't take up too much room in the trash can.

[@TheRealChetManley]

Those are the best looking docs I've seen in a long time. I love that leather with that commander sole. Would like to see the inside of them

[@Jacorpes]

Correction on the factory thing; Modern MIE Docs are actually made in the same original DM factory that DMs have always been made in, but in the 80's and 90's they also made Docs in the NPS factory (Solovair) so they could meet demand, so actually both DMs and Solovair use original factories and machinery. If anything Docs are marginally more authentic.The big difference is that Solovair employs the same people who've been making these boots for decades, wheras DMs are mostly made by young apprentices who are entering the footwear industry. It means DMs won't have the problem of an aging workforce down the line. My source is my wife who worked in the DMs head office for a couple of years.

[@916beats]

CF Stead makes some beautiful suede. The leather alone take these Docs to another level

[@zyrelia11]

Agreed. Super excited for the Rose Anvil x Goral collab of the CF Stead suede smugs coming soon.

[@chancelorolsen5903]

You should cut the made in England pair in half. A title like “did Dr. Martin’s redeem their boots?” Would probably work

[@Joseph_yy]

He made that video years ago, the short answer is yes and no. The quality is indeed better but slightly worse than solovair and it’s more expensive, so it’s still a bad value shoes

[@yashinisuki]

Here’s the thing, I own two pairs of Docs, Asian made 101s and made in England 1460s. I had to exchange the English ones 3 times to the different severe quality control issues. Literally the Asian made 101s are much better made (externally) and more comfortable than the 1460s, which were almost double the price of the Asian made pair. Also those 101s in waxed leather lasted waaay longer than the Thursday Boots Captain Storm Kings in tobacco, for less than a half of the price. I don’t think that the Asian docs are as bad as people say, at least the crazy horse 101s. Also their customer service is miles ahead of the joke which Thursday Boots was when I had to deal with them 2 years ago. As long as you don’t pay full price for the Asian made ones and don’t get some weird synthetic or coated leather they should be more than okay and last quite long.

[@Hellboy-sj4vk]

Yes 1460 Wax Commander looks very interesting ! I want to know if it's worth buying

[@dirtbagzrus]

That blood red leather is so sick!!! Need those boots. Lower cut style though

[@donnasingleton6320]

I think, and I may be wrong. But the beads are to protect the tip of the knife. Examples may include Pushing the bead into the bottom of of a knife sheath to keep the tip from.pokiing through(it happens, trust me). In a drawer it protects the tip getting dulled.

[@Scrubjay001]

The beeps sound really nice. So it's super cool when you use words that you know you will be beeped in the editing process.

[@brh20001]

Cut up the CF Stead boot!

[@DorminMonro]

The beads on the ends of lanyards on a knife are used to extend the handle on smaller knives or for people with large hands so you can get a sturdier grip.

[@holdthatblaow]

Dr. Martin’s greasy and Napa leather is actually pretty good. It’s not fancy but it molds and hold his shape pretty well.

[@santanalikesbanana6304]

Yes please cut them apart!!!!! I miss your Dr Martens videos

[@dagttv]

Back in the 90s Doc made straight up affordable work boots a la Wolverine in that $80-150 category. They looked wild. Look up the Doc Marten Ironbridge. Met guard and everything.

[@waxedearth5425]

So weird.. I was looking at these exact boots on Doc’s website last night

[@insinYT]

Can't wait to see if anything changed with the 1460s, since I wanna get some quality boots, but can't stop thinking of the docs silhouette

[@Mikhos]

Solovair is your best bet for a "good" doc style combat. They have a shank which docs doesn't do

[@Roadblock7611]

Those are the Soles Im used to. You are making me want a pair of these. I HATE the new sole pattern

[@ash36230]

The leather on those 1460s does look really nice. Hopefully the build lives up to the rest of them. It's still a shame they haven't found a way to keep it iconic but make them easier to resole, because that leather with proper care will way outlast that outsole

[@martinsmith1525]

Thank you for the unboxing clip. I would love to see both pairs get cut up. Just a side note, docs also make a gaucho leather boot. Also, solovair make full grain gaucho boots as well and greasy full grain leather boots. Thanks. 👍

[@RyTrapp0]

That Waxy Commander suede is absolutely gorgeous, kinda think I need something made in that

[@Squid-t2v]

im a dedicated Redbacks guy but id love to see that 1460 Wax Commander cut open it looks great

[@davefigore7843]

Years back when You bought and cut up the different Dr. Martens ... I did get a pair of the Hard Life which are no longer made and no I don't wear them daily. They are OK ... and better than the smooth looking cheap ones. I must have gotten them on close out ... they were under $100. I'm older now and semi retired so I don't wear boots every day like I used to.

[@RavenWindrunner]

Even though I know they aren't maybe the best quality, I have some Dr Martens Combs and I just really love the style of them. I also have a pair of Thursday boots and I end up wearing my Doc's way more.

[@martingodec1441]

Just got a pair of Wax Commanders three weeks ago. Identical. Tough cookie to crack, maybe half way to break them in. And kinda small. Ussualy size 10 feels bigger. Great boot, nice to wear.

[@BWM135]

The Waxed Commander is no joke. Ar 2mm it's 5oz suede or thereabouts. It's also shrunk down 25% at the factory and waterproof. I know Nick's is doing a limited run in that suede, I'm pretty sure they didn't use any upper materials that suck.... I definitely expect some break in on those boots. Keep at it!

[@eugenebach5421]

I actually really like how the anistone looks. Wonder how they fit?

[@billystpaul8907]

I would like to see both pairs cut in half to see how well they are made. I have the new C F Stead Stone Rambler leather in my new Thursday Challenger boots. It looks great and can't wait to see how it ages.

[@BWM135]

Congrats on your Challengers! Commander and Rambler are similar but different. Rambler is a flesh out leather. Lots of veins and knots and character marks. Commander is a smooth suede that's shrunken down to avoid stretching and is completely waterproof. In terms of thickness they're the same, Enjoy the new boots!

[@prestonlee7107]

i got a pair of M.I.E 1461 phoenix with a bump toe with CF Stead leather. it has fully leather lining, the quality is so nice.

[@LH_Vagrant]

Ooh, repping Thrice in the BladeHQ video. Love to see it. Those 1460 Waxy Commanders look kinda good, though I'd personally have preferred a single colour for all of the stitching.

[@BWM135]

Gotta love the self promotion haha. They also have an MIE Chelsea in the Waxy Commander that's arguably the best looking of the Stead offerings.

[@jpsother1183]

I've got a similar older pair of China Doc wellingtons. They are from around 2008 or whenever I saw that they offered Wide size, I went with them on a lark. The sole is the old style star lug, but they got hard over the years, and provide near zero traction when it is cold, worse if ice and snow are involved. I went at them with a rasp to sorta sipe the tread and that helped a bit. The leather has held up fine, but I did give them a heavy wax job for water resistance once upon a time. I've considered giving them a better sole and insoles. I have to look and see if I have any leather for Welts. My very old Doc Oxfords (1990s made in Merry Ol') did decent as my first attempt at a pair of resoles.

[@conorfromenergy]

Doc Marten does or did make a great Wellington boot that was 10” or 11”. I loved the soft toe version for riding my motorcycle. Padded sides of the ankle. Side pull tabs. Good all around shit kickers.

[@godo_denims]

Nice going as always. 🎉 Now let’s open up the CF ones

[@Victor-Vargas]

12:20 LOOK INTO RIOS OF MERCEDES OR BLACK JACK. A lot of Rios have rubber sole, square or wide round toes, and are very high quality all leather construction

[@LouisLeo69]

If you do cut them up and those CF Stead Doc Marts are actually good, I might actually consider getting a pair

[@bushmant6279]

These look a LOT like the “Doc Martens Industrial” line of boots they discontinued a few years back. They weren’t made in England but had much heavier leather, the deeper lug outsole, stiffer construction etc. they were lined with a sort of sock material through the full boot however.

[@xenophon1999]

They are some good looking boots, I just don't know if they have done enough to persuade me to buy from them again. After all, there are a lot of good boots out there.

[@_faultee_]

You should do a review of the new Jim Green rangers, the gusseted tongue came up all the way to top and I was having such issues trying to get mine on I very carefully cut mine down to like the third eyelet. I wanna see what you guys think

[@pmdinaz]

In the 80's-90's these were the rage. Everyone was wearing them (but me). I view them just like Chuck T's. They're uncomfortable, and wear out super fast. Maybe the MIE version could be good!? Looking forward to the cut, haha.

[@joebywan]

Dude, video on that one handed lacing style you showed a small bit of please!

[@Mikesilversmith]

The Anistone look great, might have to replace my redbacks

[@frankgonzalez3822]

Interested in the 1460 waxed commander boot for my better half. She grew up with Doc Martens. Interested in seeing them cut in half before I purchase for her.

[@frankgonzalez3822]

and if you ever did a collaboration of a high quality boot in the 1460 commander style, I would buy a pair.

[@kieranfitz]

The Anistone look like something I'd go for

[@brunonjezic6208]

Im really interested. The good side of docks that puts them over the other stuff is that their soles are oil resistant, making them not slip in oily places like bar, kitchen and similar

[@datharo5]

Didn't doc martens have a line for a little bit of the made in England with horween leather? I remember really wanting a pair. But I want to say this was already a couple years ago or more.

[@manoskalokairinos3159]

Great vid as always, we need to find out if those 1460 finally got a shank!

[@gileskennedy]

um of course they didn't!

[@StampeMusic]

Could you potentially dye the wax commander black even if they are waxed?

[@andrewkarram239]

Are the Wax Commander's built on the vintage 59 last or the comfort last (with built in foam insole and longer toe box) ?

[@BWM135]

I have no trouble tying Docs tight (No skinny ankle syndrome). Dont forget to do a little research before filming, you could have learned that waxy Commander was actually commissioned by DM when they needed a heavy waxed suede for some of their boots in the 1990s. So DM IS the reason that 5oz suede tannage exists. It's commonly used by Parkhurst, occasionally by Truman boot, and even Nicks is now running a limited edition in that suede. No point in cutting them apart, DM has used examples of good leather for a long time. I have a pair of 1461 Bluchers in Horween English Tan Dublin. Paid half price for them on the DM website, where it's fairly common to see some of the more expensive boots marked down pretty significantly. For $125 I have no complaints at all. They still use synthetic materials and still don't have a shank, so at the end of the day things are about the same as the time the dead horse was being beaten to a pulp early on in your KZbin career. Which is fine, I don't think that many people watched those videos and expected that DM to produced a especially high quality boot, I certainly didn't. I have boots from Truman, Bordon, and Nick's, and I still like my Docs. But they are a style boot, and always have been...

[@chrisj699]

How do the Dr Martens Wax Commander boots fit you in size 10? You mentioned your brannock size is 10. I am 9.5 on the brannock and wondering if I should go for size 9 or 10.

[@ryanjmay]

I need to see if the made in England are actually stitched or not

[@brunonjezic6208]

They look really nice. Im positivity surprised

[@Laz_RS]

A few years ago I bought a pair of Docs made with Horween Chromexel #8 leather, which is how I think I found this channel. Every time I wear them I get complements as they stand out from the plastic like leathers they use these days. The only thing I don't like about Docs is their lack of half sizes, they always feel like I'm wearing clown shoes. Also they need better insoles.

[@jg1693]

That lace up version is super sharp! Its hard to get past the association they carry here in the states but this looks like a good try.

[@davidsonner6488]

Please please please do the Thursday challenger stone rambler using the same tannery.....pretty please?

[@vic2_o]

I'm really interested to see how the made in England boots compare to similarly priced boots. Or at the very least $200 boots.

Love the knife and DM boots. Also find it funny you wanted a more manly boot but also like knives covered in sprinkles. We are complex creatures.

Yes cut up the CF Stead I have to know if they improved the foot bed structure. I like the leather of course but if it is same crap under the foot then it's a no go for me.

[@joerag6077]

Cut em! I was so close to buying a pair a few weeks ago before i found your chanel. The only thing i dont like is that 3d printed looking sole, if it werent for that i woulda dropped 300ish on em already.

[@bayareanewman1566]

I love that even on sponsored vids…. You’re not scared of telling the truth, even if it’s pointing put flaws. Doc Martens you listening? Make a $350ish version of boots…. Taking into account everything Rose Anvil says… yes it will cost you like probably $100 more in production, but I’d be first inline to buy a pair. Maybe call them like an extreme line. Shit it’d be willing to pay $400 if done right. No BS. You seem to be stepping up your game with these and that’s great, but you’re leaving money on the table here. Probably millions. No joke.

[@a.csarmiento8847]

yo, do a wear test/review with the CF.stead wax commander . they do look good and I'm not just saying that because you said it. they genuinely stand out amongst Doc's where each design is already trying to stand out. "sneakers in the shape of boots" is a good analogy. I , however don't think Dr.martens is going to be putting that or anything else you've said in previous videos as part of their copy written advertisement (pronounced the british way. with the emphasis on *vert instead of "IZE in -Isement) but this video you were quite kind. I won't be surprised to see a Dr.Marten x Rose Anvil collaboration ... that's when you will see you just one batch of well made boots bro. and they can't hold you guilty for airing out their shitty practices ', I mean they have to understand everybody takes a run at the king. and they are the biggest players; playing the game. TLDR, like to see more about the Waxcomado boots and wouldn't be opposed to. you selling out to a collab with DMxRA its in your DNA.
