Dr Marten Shoes £49 instead of £90!

Amazon have Dr Marten shoes and boots in many colours including cherry red for £49 and up. These are normally between £90-£130 RRP.

I've been looking for a "cheap" pair in cherry red for over a year (I needed specific style and colour as they are dancing shoes for a Rapper group)

    For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.

    probably worth either trying some on beofre you order or getting your normal size and the size up as these are now made in china and the sizes seem to be a bit more snug

    Are they really usually £90. Never understood all the fuss about Dr Martens shoes. Had one pair that lasted 4 months....

    I think they are prone to rubbing these days. Don't know if the leather is cheaper than it used to be.

    Love DM's but they are the only shoes that I can wear a 6 or a 7 in... odd sizing and agree the shape has changed on the boots, not as high so find I need to unlace more to put them on..

    Still have lots & must resist clicking link... not going to happen though lol

    Thanks!

    Be careful, the sizing is all over the place on these - 2 pairs are never the same!!
    My daughter bought some a few weeks ago, they were like boats!! All made abroad now and not like the ones that would last a lifetime. Daughter has some'made in england' vintage ones and you can tell the difference.
    Always available at this price too;)
