My Torrid combat boots are falling apart, so I’m in the market for a new pair that are specifically platform boots that come in black.
Unfortunately, the pair from Solovair (pictured) that I’ve had my eye on for a while (their 8-eye derby platforms) is no longer being sold, and it was replaced with a visually worse alternative where the zippers face outward.
I’ve never owned Martens before, but knowing that Martens aren’t what they used to be, how much do I have to lose by picking up a pair of Jadon III’s instead? If anyone knows any alternatives in the same style that are also Goodyear Welt, that could also be an option.
Docs suck now, solovair’s are the old doc quality you want
I have a pair of solovairs that are about 15 years old. They need some fix up, but are still quite wearable. I am old, they do not offer my body the comfort it needs, so I mostly only wear them to shows and nazi kicking parties these days.
