text: doc martens aren't what they used to be. Bought this pair for work after having a pair of their work boots a few years back and found them to be very durable. Not the case any more. Less than two months and the soles are already cracked all the way through and are pretty much useless. It's unacceptable to spend over $100 on a pair of boots and get less than two months out of them. Just got a pair of timberlands for $40 less than I paid for the docs and they've already proven to be more durable. I'll never buy docs again.
