Dr. Martens Restoration - (Using ORIGINAL Parts & FIRE)

In this video, we restore this pair vintage 1990's Doc Marten boots back to original condition. We use all original Dr. Marten parts, and we even fuse the sole onto the boot with FIRE...just like they do at the factory. We think these boots came out looking great! Time for another restoration!

Did anyone else enjoy the FIRE portion as much as we did? 👋 Guys, don’t forget to check out the boots we created with Nicks Boots! They are LIMITED in availability, and this is the LAST time they’ll be brought back. Check them out here -> nicksboots.com/trenton-heath-x-nicks-wingtip-stag-boot-collab/

[@adriana7144]

Loved the fire portion but the whole video was fascinating. I am guessing that docs are less common in the US than they are here in Europe where they remain popular and are definitely not just worn by skinheads and punks, so I loved this. I am currently rocking a pair of docs Chelsea boots.

This was a great one! I bought my Doc's in '85 when I was stationed in England. I used them as duty boots so I had to dye the thread black. I used to wear them off duty too and without the yellow thread they were unique. Got a lot of compliments. I might have to dig them out of the attic!

Thankyou so much for doing the Dk Martins, brought back so many memeries for me from the late 70s and through the 80s.I was in the shoe trade for 18 years. I went to night school twice a week, and then had day releace to go collage and got my btec in shoe manufacture after some 5 years. Our factory was right next to John Whites in lime street Rushden, in Oak street. We made a shoe called Pods which was also very popular at that time. And the shoe trade was very big in Northamptonshire, before the cheap inports killed it off. At one point it was cheaper for us to mould our own soles for the shoes, cut out all the uppers etc, box them up and ship it to Portugal to be put together as a finished shoe, and then shipped back again. And this was still cheaper to do than making them with our own labour in the factory. We did this to 10,000 pairs before we ceased manufature of the shoe. Funny thing is when we did, Dc Martins were looking to increase production of thier boots, so we just ceased, and the people we employed (some 120) carried on as John White employies, so no one lost their job.

That was fantastic as usual. Down here in Australia in the 70's and early 80's they were the boot of choice of the local 'Skinhead' gangs so no one was game to wear them. In the 90's they become a fashion boot with teenagers and school kids. Quality boots, made to last.

[@ianmedium]

I was a child in the sixties and seventies and into the eighties into my late teens early twenties in the UK. back then these were the working class boot of choice for factory workers and police officers as they were cheap and comfortable. The skinheads in the late sixties really started to turn them into a fashion statement, especially the oxblood ones and then came punk where they really took off as did the prices which slowly went up and up. The end of the real quality for me went in the late nineties when DM started to farm out to China and other far eastern countries. I remember buying my last pair early this century made in China and they lasted a year. The insoles were compressed fibre board which disintegrated within a year and the soles soon followed. I then changed to the still English made Solovair who used to make boots for DM ( it was in the early days a cooperative of Northampton factories all making un the DM brand. The English made DM´s now are more fashion statements, the ones made out of the UK are like throwing good money down the drain. Now I stick to Solovair who use much higher quality leathers and a country mile better than DM´s

[@seth_5394]

For my American fellows, Ian is referring the original skinheads - the real skins, not what skins are known as in the US.

[@CLOUDKID11]

The reason doc's are garbage is not because its made in china (don't forget most apple products are also from there). Its the fact that Doc's uses dogshit materials and cheap labour to max out their bottom line so they can burn money on marketing+sponsorships and let's forget to increase how much they can line their pockets. Like you said wherever its made they're still garbage because that's what they're about.

[@Kcapgar]

@@seth_5394some people in the USA know and understand the history of the skinhead movement. The media kind of ruined it by exploiting the nazi thing in the late 80s - early 90s. Avg Joe un educated America totally associates it with that garbage. But there are some that know. I’m not into skinhead culture myself but the movement is sort of interesting to me. I do love Dr martens, Solovair and Gripfast though. Always liked the look.

@@seth_5394 He's referring to the racist skin heads I think!? It's my guess because of the mention of the Oxblood ones.

@@Meloncholymadness Negative. OG skins were the opposite of racist. White English and black Jamaicans came together around shared love of music, dance, and culture. I don't know whether or not colors mattered in Britian, but outdated color meanings in the US may be what you're thinking.? I served in the military with a guy 20 years ago who was a (racist) skin and wore oxblood Docs, but I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

Many years ago I purchased a pair of Dr Martens Fynn 8 boots as my winter boot. They were a nice large/heavy boot which I loved, very comfortable to wear, always kept my feet warm and dry. The big downside was that even 😢though they were “slip resistant”, they had absolutely the worst traction of any boot I’ve ever owned. I purchased them because I live in the north and we have a lot of snow and ice. I walked a lot back then, to the train station, to the office, to the store and gym… and I just had to get rid of them. Anytime there was snow, I’d walk in fear of going down because losing traction. I had dress shoes with better traction. There were days when it snowed, that I left my work dress shoes on and walked home carrying my boots because I didn’t want to fall. But they sure were warm and comfy. I wish I kept them and got them re-soled with a vibram rubber sole or something better. Anyways after choosing to wear my dress shoes on the walk home carrying my boots, I got some proper snow boots and all was well You failed winter Dr Marten
