Vintage Dr Martens Boots Satra P9425 Black Leather 8 Eyelet 1990's Mens Uk 8

THANKS FOR LOOKING

GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PAIR OF MENS DR MARTENS SATRA BOOTS. THESE WERE ONE OF THE LAST EVER MODELS PRODUCIN THE UK.

WE SELL LOADS OF DM'S (SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS) SO I KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THE COMPANY. TO SAVE MONEY, DM MOVED THEIR MANUFACTURING FROM ENGLAND TO INDONESIA AND CHINA IN 1999. TO CUT COSTS EVEN FURTHER AND 'ENCOURAGE' MORE REPEAT BUYING THEY USED THINNER LEATHER AND WEAKER SOLES. YOU MAY HAVE READ ELSEWHERE FROM OLDER GENERATIONS THAT 'DOC MARTINS AREN'T AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE WHEN THEY WERE MADE IN ENGLAND IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS"....WELL, THEY'RE RIGHT! THE MADE IN ENGLAND MODELS ARE FAR, FAR SUPERIOR TO THE MODERN EQUIVALENTS.

EVEN IF YOU GOT AN OLD PAIR OF ENGLISH DOCS THEY'D EASILY OUTLAST A PAIR OF THE MODERN ONES....TRENDING PRICE - IF YOU CAN EVEN FIND A PAIR - IS £90, SOMETIMES MORE SO GRAB A SERIOUS BARGAIN.

NB - THE SHOES IN THE PHOTOS ARE THE PAIR THAT YOU'LL RECIEVE. AS YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE HAVE BEEN 'WELL LOVED' BY THE PREVIOUS GUARDIAN...HOWEVER, AS THEYRE DM's THAT WERE MADE IN ENGLAND THEY'LL LAST LONGER THAN YOU OR I WILL. PLEASE CHECK THE CONDITION SECTION BELOW.

CONDITION

AS MENTIONED ABOVE THESE WERE WELL LOVED, USED AS WORK BOOTS SO NOT MINT - I'LL BREAK IT DOWN SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SHINY NEW PAIR OF DM's THESE AREN'T FOR YOU...

BAD PARTS 😕

▪︎ SCUFFS ON TOES

▪︎ THE ANKLE CUFF WAS MADE OF A PLASTIC COATED PADDING - THE PLASTIC HAS DISINTEGRATED OVER THE DECADES AND IS QUITE FLAKY. IT COMES OFF REALLY EASILY AND I WAS GOING TO SRAPE IT ALL OFF SO THE BOOTS LOOK A LITTLE NEATER. HOWEVER, AS THEY'RE VINTAGE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE PREFER THE WORN LOOK SO I'LL LEAVE IT ON. IF YOU NEED TO REMOVE IT, IT'LL TAKE YOU ABOUT 5 MINS WITH A SPONGE AND THEY'LL BE UNIFORM.

▪︎ THERE ARE A FEW PAINT SPOTS HERE AND THERE - WILL COME OFF EASILY WITH YOUR FINGERNAIL!

GOOD PARTS 😀

▪︎ STRUCTURALLY PERFECT

▪︎ NO HOLES, NO LOOSE STITCHING

▪︎ SOLES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

▪︎ STILL WATERPROOF

OVERALL, A VERY RARE PAIR OF BOOTS THAT WILL EASILY KEEP GOING FOR ANOTHER 3 DECADES. YES, THE ANKLES ARE SCRUFFY BUT ITS ONLY A COSMETIC ISSUE - SOMETHING YOU CAN SORT OUT YOURSELF IN A FEW MINS (IF YOU WANT TO)
