I love these boots.  After noticing my beloved "docs" not feeling quite as good as they used to a decade+ ago I started reading more about it and realized most of them are made in Asian factories now.  Those types are still great shoes, just don't quite have the same feel to them as the classic made in England shoes do.

So I figured out, hey I can still order the made in England ones - for a price.  And I did.  This was Christmas 2016 I received my new 1460s.  As I have always done, I wore them non-stop and am still wearing them today in March 2018.  A bit over a year.  And here is where my complaint comes in - while the leather is still in excellent condition and will last for years longer easily - the tread on the soles is hammered.  Worse by far in long term wear than their Asian versions.  I really want these to last 2 years before I buy another pair, just as the Asian versions did and English version before that way back in the late 90s/early 2000s.  But I don't think they are going to make it before the sole becomes completely compromised.

And so I have to give them 3 stars.  The leather and workmanship is as excellent as hoped for.  The tread on the bottom is no where near substantial enough for years of daily use like many of their other styles can do.
