Looking for general dark boots within decent price range. I prefer the worn out matte look over time, will these just stay shiny? Don't need to be extremely weatherproof being from Australia, just keep my feet dry when it rains and she'll be right.
Any other suggestions appreciated.

those seem like they fit your needs just fine
consider getting the made in the UK line if you can afford them, since these made in china docs have been known to crap out occasionally
also consider solovair, which are all made in the UK in an old doc martens factory iirc

Cheers for that heads up

Bought Solovairs couple years ago. Wore them for about 5 times and soles from both shoes split in half. Tried to get ahold of them and their customer support many times, no answer. Leather is fine, but I've never had any sole break so fast. I'd say avoid them because there's no way you can get them refunded/replaced if something like that happens it seems.

+1 for Solovair. Docs suck ass now since they moved to China and the made in England ones are way overpriced. Solos are literally just pre-China Docs under a different name. Might be hard to get them in AUS tho, I don't know anyone selling them outside the UK/US.

I have those pair of boots. They are just over a year old now, starting their second Canadian winter. Last year (which was one of the worst winters I have ever seen in recent memory) my feet stayed warm (wool socks) and dry. The boots themselves are worn in because I wear them frequently, but still seem to be holding together quite well.

You should get Timberlands. Better than docs imo (I have both) and I wear the Timbs a lot more. Sturdier and higher quality for similar prices.

get made in englands, mine are worn af with no holes/splits
>>10738546
pretty much all leather will wear out like that

the "for life" boots are not shiny

Yeah looking at them online and the AUD is so bad right now it's basically double the price
What are some slims black boots that are cheap? I like to wear all black converse hi top and like how they feel but now I want boots instead of converse cause I don't wanna be 12 forever

I have some clarks faulkner rise and they are great, nice simple look that isn't either too skinny or too blocky, ok qualiy and low price.
The inner zip is handy too
What are some good alternatives, like a similar style, to Docs that aren't Docs or Solovair? Something less shitty and so probably more expensive.
