Do I buy chinese docs for £60 or vintage made in england ones for £130?

Is there any actual real difference between the two? Other than one being made by a slanty eyed slave in a sweat shop and the other made by a tradesman earning a decent living wage?

I work in a warehouse/loading bay so my boots get junked within a year so I feel apprehensive about buying really nice footwear

Idk which ones I have but I have small feet so I bought a pair second hand off this goth bitch, which meant I had the added bonus of being able to furiously sniff the inside of the boots while masturbating. Sometimes I would slam the boots down on my face or balls and pretend she was stomping on me. The boots were described as well worn when I purchased them, something I deliberately looked for to ensure they would have the delightful smell of my goth goddesses feet. I imagine she wore a lot of thick socks to make them more comfortable, in turn making her feet sweat ten fold! In the end I got a lot of great fap sessions out of those boots, but then I started to feel dirty doing it so I cleaned them off and just wore them normally from then on.

The new MiE and Chinese-versions have little difference, buy Solovair. Or ACTUAL pre-2003 vintage Docs. Especially any industrial kind.

I just bidded and won a pair of steel toed 7-eyelet boots from like the 90's or sumthin' for 34€, they have the commando-sole aswell.

You fags are so oblivious. Get a pair of red wings and they will last you a decade with 2 resoles.

Buy £130 Solovairs, better quality than made in england docs. The chineese made docs aren't so terrible though, they may have only half the insole and have worse quality, but I've had mine for 2 years and they are in a pretty nice shape.
