Weston: The docs don't have a shank, which is a big deal
Me, with absolutely no knowledge of boots: Can you believe this? It doesn't even have a shank!
😂
It's almost offensive it doesn't have a shank. I, too, don't know anything about footwear.
As someone who has never purchased a pair of work boots, it should be a crime that the docs don’t have a shank, truly disgusting
Here I thought the person wearing the timbs had a shank...
My boot come w skank
I’d like to toss the idea out to you to deconstruct a fake/knock-off of a popular name brand - ie. Doc Martens or any other name brand of your choosing (fakes are made for practically every name brand that exists); it would be relatively cheap and it would be interesting to see if knockoffs come close to construction because they come pretty darn close to how they look aesthetically compared to the authentic name brand.
Thing is the so called real thing is actually a knock off of what the brand used to be. I like to source vintage boots and shoes, that have knocked around a bit stood the test of time and have been repaired in the past and can still be repaired for as long as you can find a proper cobbler on the high street.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Kayson Terrance Instablaster :)
@Kylo Nikolai thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kylo Nikolai It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
I have a pair of premium Timberlands that I have owned for 10 years . I wear them every year (fall-spring) and they still look amazing.
16 years on mine and still going strong.
@LetMeSeeThis99 True! Mine have seen better days but I refuse to replace them just because they are worn and have some stains.
I already got 5 years with my timberlands and still looks brand new
@LetMeSeeThis99 That's very true. I bought a good kit. I'll look for it and share the brand.
4 years, they dont look brand new because I use them in natural surroundings but holding up nice.
I love the way Docs look and I really wish they would improve the quality. I thought they were supposed to be a point of pride for England.
Doc Martens had its own version of the thick rubber lug sole. I don't understand why that can't be marketed today instead of the shallow vinyl sole that wears out quickly.
They are an excellent quality. I have never managed to wear mine down in 15 years. The steel shank makes boots too cold to wear in winter. It conducts cold.
Get Solovairs. They're the original docs that are still made in england
I maybe wrong here, but I believe Doc Martin's were bought out by a foreign company a while back. I believe they are still manufactured in the UK but not owned by a UK company (so profit is entirely the main motivation, not brand pride or heritage).
Only the England boots are good. Asia Docs are trash. My Asia 1460’s sole fell off after only two months of light use. Doc replaced the boots but still.
Our generation needs a new, strong brand. Do some research about the prices of those boots long before they where bought by some investors.

Hakim Mohamad i only buy old (pre 1980's) Levi's from goodwill. The better kept the better, they last longer. If i put a whole in my pants it sucks because it starts fraying. Niggas these days wear pants that are almost two pieces from the knee.
I buy everything used. My tims and dr martens where both 10 bucks in great condition. Both pre-2000. No need to pay more for a shinny less quality boot if the old one is in great condition and better quality.
B D a company cannot advertise made in usa and disclose that it was produced in China because it will get sued. For a company to properly advertise made in usa it needs at the least minimum have the most substantial part of its manufacture to be done in the states. We love to think that companies always put the label and make it in other places, but most of The time these products say designed or assembled.
Get a PO Box so we can send you shoes and whatever else!!
that is a brilliant idea
I'd love to have you cut my shoes apart.
Yup, awesome. Or get a Patreon account so we can help fund new boots/products
@@magee26 love when viewers are asking the channel to have a way to give him money. He is doing a terrific job and we all wanna help him entertain us more

Dr. Martens: Low quality leather, no shank, soles wear out fast, $230..... It just doesn't add up.
@@aaronr6160True, in Europe i bought them online for 145€
@@justas1071 Where did you buy Made in England Docs for that price?
labor costs, they have to pay their employees well because they’re made in a first world country
@@pokerani99 Then why are Solavairs similar price for a higher quality?
Guppy do i make the prices? that’s not a question for me, go ask them
Thanks for sharing the side by side review of these boots, Weston. It is a great way for us to evaluate which things to consider or prioritize before purchasing a pair of boot.
Also, the content of your channel is very educational and informative. Back then I never cared about what a shank is for or what it is hahaha! More power to you, mate!
Thank you so much for always putting CC on your videos, it always helps, and we appreciate the effort
I've been wearing my "newest" Timberland Boots for over 5 years. I was in the market for a new pair of boots and saw Doc Martens and was curious about them. I'm glad I watched this video. Looks like I'm sticking to Timberlands. I still wear my oldest pair with the sole coming off and no laces for quick grocery shopping trips and they're the comfiest pair of shoes I have.
Love my Timbs! Picked up a pair for like $50 shopping in the kids section of Marshals. I’ve been wearing them through every New England winter for at least 7 years. Wore a hole through the insert last year but I just threw a pair of Dr. Scholl's in there and they still have a lot of life left in them.
Your efforts to enlighten us are very much appreciated, having an insight to how boots are constructed is invaluable. As a hunter and outdoors person boots are a very important piece of kit, my chosen hunting boot is the Meindl Douvre Extreme, I have other Meindl boots and find them all comfortable, hard wearing and waterproof. I would be interested in seeing you dismantle them and compare to other hunting boots in the future. 👍👍👍
Got the MIE Doc Martens, have worn them for a month now, pretty happy with them, nice inspiration to get them
I had a hip replacement. Now my right leg is 3/4" shorter than the left. on a pair of Skechers ankle boots, I built a dam around the heel with masking tape send used two tubes of the goop to rebuild and heighten the heel. Works great w/o heel hightening insert. ☺
Just purchased some timerland premium boots. Thanks for these teardowns.
I bought a pair of the Tim's boat shoes which are welted with the same urethane soles and they are incredibly durable. I've been wearing them almost every day throughout the summer (Australia) to work and back (I commute and walk a lot between home and work) and have been very impressed.
thank you so much for this informative video, really appreciate it. I was thinking about bying a pair of Doc Martens but thanks to you decided against it. Now I've got a pair of bloodstones.
I've never worn or wanted to wear either of these brands, but this is still super entertaining and informative to watch!
thanks!
My son and I love watching all your videos,across the pond here in North Wales.My son(Tom),is nuts on Dr.Martens,and I am mad on Timberlands,so this was a great video for both of us.We know so much more about boot construction thanks to your videos now I.e. shanks,leather quality.hype versus real quality, and so on.Please keep them coming,and we are glad you got up to 100 k subscribers.We love Toaster,as we’ ve got two cats ourselves- Socks and Oskar.Kind regards Alwyn and Tom Luke. -Posted from Ruabon,Wrexham ,Clywd,North Wales.
I used to rock Doc M in HS during the 1990’s. Thought about buying a new pair until this channel showed me the ways. Thank you!
Just found your channel and I love it! I'm currently binging all your videos 😊
I wish i needed to buy one of these boots because this is the exact video i would be looking for. Excellent video my friend
Well made video and great breakdown and summary including the visuals. Thankyou. :)
Love your video! Thank you for doing the review and explanation of these two boots! Can you please also do a review on Palladium? Definitely would love to see it!!
Thank you so much for showing us the viewers..these boots..i am actually struggling the other day to choose and decide which boots to get. I think i have an idea now.✌🏼👍🏼
Great video! I have a bunch of Tim's about 15 years old in various colors. A couple even made in USA. I've been less impressed with them over time instead of more impressed as I'd hoped. (If I could figure out how to stretch them a half size it would probably help)
Recently I've started buying Doc's. Mostly about 30yr old MIE ones in real good condition.
I'm liking the Doc's more. If wearing boot cut jeans over them there really isn't the biggest difference besides the yellow string so I don't see them as being so different as others do.
love the amount of work you do on this channel, found you looking for the best boot. Amazing video, you breakdown all the different parts of the boot in so many ways but still keep it easy to understand for newbs like me. only thing i would say is possibly something that could be corrected is giving the win to dr.martens for the goodyear welt when timberland doesn't even have one.
I have a pair of DMs and have had a few pairs of Timberlands 6 inch Premiums over the years. The Timberlands definitely feel much more heavy duty and versatile than the DMs and can double up as hiking boots if necessary. The first part to give up on all pairs of Timberlands I've had has been the leather behind the heel which wears away completely after a few years, thankfully this doesn't seem to have a huge impact on the comfort though so I can carry on using them. I am very fond of my DMs though, I bought them in 2013, they're made from very soft leather (not the normal shiny DM leather) and they feel like putting on an old pair of slippers. The soles are worn smooth though, so anything other than pavement and they get a bit slippery!
I'd love to see CAT Colorado boots cut in half, as I also have a couple of pairs of those and they've lasted well and are very comfortable so it'd be very interesting to see what's inside.
Great video. Love your content very fun and interesting 👍🏼
Thank you so much for financing your own experiments and videos. I really appreciate it. And thank you so much for showing the qualities of the premium Timberland boot. I love that boot and simply loved it just for the looks. But you helped me to see the actual quality of it. So now I'm EXTRA happy with my Timberlands. Thanks!
This was an awesome video. I was curious on the differences
Hey ! Thank you so much for this video !!
Allows to see clearly where money goes, and beyond marketing :)
Personnaly, I would love to see a comparison between these timbs and the caterpillar colorado, which seem very similar !!
Thanks and all the best !!
Rose anvil I love you. You have fueled my newest obsession.
High quality boots
Dear Rose, thank you so much for your indept reviews! Solovair, Docs MIE, and Timberland are literally my life. It's good to see the exposure of the boots despite the hurt for cutting these beauties in half. For my work I have to wear Haix boots. These Haix boots come in different specs, depending for what are they used for (Firefighters, Police, SWAT, Emergency Services, Paramedics and Army,etc.). I have a Haix Firefighters Pro boot, very comfy, heavy boot, with a lots of safety specs Haix claimed to be on the particular boot. They're not kinda cheap, and very high quality. I'm sooo curious to see what's going inside the Haix boots. Hope you can expose them too some day! I'll be delighted! And give that lovely cat a big hug, the cat makes it all less painful to watch tho!
Can't wait to see the RM Williams breakdown! Would love to see how they compare to the Timms.
Aaron Pratt I’m also keen to see him rip into a pair of RMs
I’d really like to see reviews on “luxury” branded wallets and belts like Louis Vuitton and Gucci

solovair
Just buy red wing factory seconds
@@hakimmohamad6216 wait what? Give them 2 3 dats everytime you wear them?
@@hakimmohamad6216 I bought some online off of Nordstrom rack for a good price. I was absolutely gutted by the shipping cost to my country though. Europe should be completely fine.
Called Solovair
Love the content you make
Super awesome boots shootout vid!....Timbs vs Docs ....perfect!
Shout out from a newbie all the way from England. I'm glad I've come across your video, this has opened my eyes as I've been thinking of getting some Dr Martens instead of the designer Chelsea boots that are currently trending. I think I'll save my hard earned cash instead. Besides, we're now working from home, can't socialise & might as well invest in comfortable slippers.
Thanks for the review.......
Why modern boots with bonded sole I've started to use "Shoe-Goo" to extend the life of the boot - Good review, Thanks!
This was a really solid comparison!
The moc toe VS! Can't wait for the that. I love my Thorogoods!
Awesome video! Keep it up bruv!
First time coming to your channel. Very informative!
nice comparison! My sister really swears by Doc's since she has a standing profession and those shoes can last her all day!
my Doc Martens are so different from the ones they do now, they are 24 years old and they quality just looks so much better, i was going to buy a pair of Made in England last month and ended up going for Solovair because the Made in England just didnt look quality
actually the quality between the two is about the same. The only difference is that the soles on the solovairs can be replaced, while the docs cant. imo, they're both good boots, and the only diff is if you're willing to pay the premium for the yellow stitching on the docs.
@@fernank017 I'm holding a DM and a Solovair and the latter is built to last.
You are wrong, sir.
@@julianshepherd2038 lol okay, sure buddy. 🤥
@@fernank017 My bf has made in England docs and I have Solovair and Solovair feels more durable and quality leather honestly. Its not a huge difference but there is a difference
@@RoxyCherryRozy I own both, and have worn both extensively -- the differences in feel don't translate to quality differences when you wear them.
I wear both. Timberland's are not really my style, but I have never found anything else that keeps my feet as warm and dry in our brutal east coast winters. They also have great customer service, I had one that cracked on the bottom and called the company, they sent me a new pair instantly. Wearing Docs in the ice and snow is a death wish, but I can't say Iv'e had any complaints about the shank, or lack thereof. Mine have held up well, but I do use an insole with all my boots.
Doc's used to have a solid rubber sole back in the 80s but they were certainly heavier as well. Also I don't know if they still do but they used to have a lifetime guarantee on the sole. If you somehow managed to wear them out you could send them in (just pay the shipping) and they would resole them for free.
I would never in my life buy either of these boots but I love watching these videos. I have the whites perry and the bullruns currently.
I have whites lace to toe loggers , redwing moc toe , 877, 875 , never thought i would appreciate the timberland premium as much as i do , its underrated it works great in slush snow and rain , and my toes never get as damp and in the other boots , I never would of thought of getting a pair , however they surprised the crap out of me.
Love the vs. Thank you.
your whats inside videos helped me choose to choose Timberland Boots.
Thank you and keep making these.
I'll keep saying this, Docs are just shoes. They were originally sold and produced as shoes, and they happen to have boot-like-design with none of the functionality. I wore docs for a super long time and they aren't tough at all, the rubber they make the soles out of is sub-par **Especially compared to skate shoes so that says a lot** and if you want a boot boot, get Timbs in the same price range. What makes a boot? The leather, the durability, the function, the purpose and therefore the design. What are docs?
fuckin shoes bro
You can wear doc Martens with almost anything. You can wear Timberland boots with jeans.
BTW, the steel shank is horribly cold in winter.
See Solovair
Just bought Solovair as a girl because docs fuckin suck today. I want the old made in Europe quality not some gigantic brand shit made in Asia. And I love the docs design so Solovair is great
It’d be cool to see a review or dissection of fashion brand boots to see how well they’re constructed!! Like Stuart weitzman
can't wait to see that re-sole process!!
I have actually had a pair of DM shoes where the sole has split just before the heel, which suggests your point about the shank is correct. In the UK we have a major chain of cobblers that can resole DMs, but the cost doesn’t really make it worth it. They seem to the only footwear where Goodyear welting has no advantage.
Loving these video's.
Am a new subscriber. Really liking the boot comparison videos. Very keen to see RM Williams cut down and reviewed please 😬👍🏻
I bought a couple pairs of Levi's leather boots earlier this year, the "Jax" and "Emerson". Given the price, I bought them under the assumption that they'd be poor man's timbs, but they're fiendishly comfortable and seem to be holding up well. It would be interesting to see them as a cross comparison to the Timberland or Doc Marten, in a sense of what you would get across different mass-market boots in a higher vs lower price point.
Levi's is a Jew brand don’t support it
Knowledge is power. Keep em coming
Thanks!
Can't wait to see the experiment with re-soling the Doc Martens.
GREAT video! I love my Timberland boots!
I love comfort shoes 👞 my self, I didn't even know much witch is better but the end I learned so much now is easier to different what type of quality is better to go on the long run....👍👍great content..love to see more of this video's....
Nick's boots even if you don't cut them in half love your opinion on them great channel always look forward to the next review 👍
Love your work man
Thank you!
I've got chippewa and redwing working boots. Appreciate to have comparison with them
Binge watched this channel all yesterday now I’m going on day 2
Thanks for this comparison! Straight to the point in specific characteristics.
Just to make it clear, the outcome is exactly the same with the entry level Timbs and Docs, right?
Thanks (was not sure which to buy ) 👌🏽aint ganna get Dr Martins
I think it would be nice to see a comparison between regular consumer boots and army surplus boots.
Hi there, I'm finding your videos fascinating... As a long time DM wearer, growing up in London in the 70's, these were our go to boots, cheap (at the time) hard wearing and cool... The generally wore well, but the usual place mine went is along the top of the welt, by the big toe area.. the leather always gave out there...and the boots leaked, usually after about 2 years of every day use.... (I've had probably 7 or 8 pairs over the years...)
Fast forward to the 90's and I got my first pair of Timberlands in Paris... The last really well.. 10 or years or every day wear.. The split as have all my subsequent boots at the toe, where the sole came away from the welt.. no amount of glueing even as a shoes repair place prolonged the life for very long...
Every pair I'd had has had the same or similar sole issue, we are talking the premiums here.. The Urethane comes away from the welt some place..
Generally good boots, but next pair will probably be Blundstones...
10 years the same shoes everyday ? not even the army does that to you..
Those jackets look great! What are they?
My dad has had his premium timberlands since the 90s, they are still in excellent condition dispite his near constant usage of them
You should do a video on leather repair kits! I just bought a Fortivo leather repair kit I’m not sure how well this is gonna work!
Al it of people want to repair their older shoes and keep them working
Deconstruct RED WING 877/875 MOC toe boots!!!! Love the videos keep them coming!!
Great review, thanks
I literally just bought two pairs of Timberland Nellie Chukka waterproof boots, black and wheat nubuck. Cost me a fortune! But I'm happy, especially after watching this review.
Thanks for doing this! Please do some wolverines! Just bought a pair of legends comp toes.
Great video. I’ve had both and stuck with timberland over the years. I’ve had a pair of Columbia Newton ridge boots that I like but haven’t had it long enough to know if it’ll last. Would love your take on it
I am using my timberland every winter for 11 years and the soul still as new 😁
I''ve worn both and found the Tims to be more durable , just didn't like the appearance as well as Docs .
I really like the comparison videos , keep 'em coming. I'm ready to buy a new pair of quality boots so will be watching to see what I learn from them.
Then try Solovair. They used to make Doc Martens before the brand went all fashoinista. Build quality looks superior to even the Made in England Docs. Rose Anvil compared the two and the Solovair was better.
Another great vid
Kinda bummed out that I bought my first pair of Dr Martens and a month later I found your channel, got them at a serious discount though. Any chance of doing Corcoran jump boots? They look like a good option for a dress-y boot that will last a good time if they're what is advertised
Though I am not interested in either of these boots, I still appreciate the video.
Totally agreed with this vid. Docs are sexy, more recognizable, and I get more compliments when I wear them, but tims imo are so much more comfortable, better made, and more durable. If you need something with good traction, too, tims have a clear advantage here as well.
I have both types of shoes, so I can share personal impressions. In appearance, the shoes of Dr. Martens look more suitable for urban wear, but in terms of quality they really give way. Also, if the weather is too cold, don't expect your feet to be warm. Regarding Timberlands, even after the first touch, it is felt that these shoes are healthier and of better quality and more solid than Dr. Martens. This difference is felt even by people who are not specialists without having to cut. But, this is normal, considering that Timberlands is a work shoe for builders and loggers. So if you're trying to look sleek in an urban setting, Timberlands won't help you make that happen. If you just want a strong and hopeful shoe, then this is the right choice.
Timberlands are pretty dope tho still for regular wear. You can throw them on to a regular pair of jeans hoody and puffer much easier than dr Martens. Like doc martens is more for a anesthetic or punk look whereas timbs are for everyday wear
This channel has a lot of potential and you know your stuff too, suggest taking the project farm (CZcams channel) route and you will grow pretty quick the moment you grow a loyalty base, I'd start of with shoes that do well in terms of trending/people want and slowly move into real shoes and mix it up every once in a while
thank you man, you really helped me
This is a great series
Enjoying this series here in UK. Can you do one on boat shoes, please and Timberland Stormbuck Oxford shoes. 👍😀
whats the best boot that you can resole (without sacrifising quality)? Great videos mate and regards from Mexico.
Excellent comparison! Well done!
How do you resole a boot where the EVA layer has degraded or split. My local shoemakers says they aren't fixable. How about showing us how it can be fixed/resoled?
I found the same with that particular sole pattern on the Docs - and disliked them enough I will never buy them again if they have that sole. Very very thin and the tread (or lack thereof) fills very easy with mud/dirt/snow. Docs a few years back had a similar star/workboot tread on them like the Timberlands and they were great
The next sneaker you do you should try Nike Air Force ones
try Panama Jack, it's a Spanish Boot very high quality, they are made by hand in Spain
Great quality video. Always owned DM’s before but never Timbs. Time to upgrade.
Any bikers here use Timbs for riding? Just got into bikes recently, considering getting these.
Originally I found you chanel because you was talking about DR.Martens I was wondering if price=quality. I end up buying black premium Timberland boots (Found them for 120euro) and I'm extremely happy with them and I'm looking forward to have them for at least next 4-5 seasons. And now I'm kinda addicted to your videos and I hope you will cut more shoes like Nike AirMax or New Balance. 👍🏻 Big Thumbs up for content.
Excellent vid. Me Bflo NY 3Sept20. The winters sometimes here we need a non-slippery sole just a more sturdy boot. Ur dead on when u mentioned comfort of Tim’s. Every pair I’ve ever owned and there have been lots needs breaking in. Thought about trying Docs but after ur vid I’m sticking with my Tims. Much thanks. Not from Doc. 🤣
I know you have mentioned possibly doing a break down and review of some Redwings, but i was also wondering if you might also consider doing a break down on Wesco, Whites or Nicks which to me are all brands i would consider to be high quality boots.
