In the past year I did some research into trying to find something in the vein of that classic Doc Marten punk boot look.

Turns out that Doc Martens (besides it’s Nazi links) just aren’t really that great of a quality anymore and are a far cry from it’s previous long-lasting reputation. And a lot of boots that are supposed to last can cost a lot of money.

So I came across Solovair and bought these 11-eye boots. Been using them for months now and the break-in period wasn’t all that bad. My foot is very narrow so I tend to wear thicker hiking socks with them - which are comfortable anyway - and they’re a great fit.

Here’s hoping I made a good choice and can wear them for years.
