A pair of these costs £240 as opposed to the £30 a solid pair of docs cost 30 years ago which is somehow even more of an increase than our batshit property market but sure people are just choosing cheap badly made stuff cos they love it so much, there are no othet processes at play here.

I don’t want to pick on this person but you can still buy Dr Martens that are made in their English factory using heritage materials and high quality Japanese-made Levi’s 501s that are just like the ones they made in the 80s. These are less popular than the cheaper, lower quality versions.
