I've been looking high and low for Dr. Martens 9733 style boots for my wife:

14 eye
black
zipper up one side

The only place I can seem to find them is in UK, which carries a $40-$50 shiping charge   + a giant kick in the nuts with TAX and duty I'm sure.  It's probably going to end up costing me $300 cdn for boot that should only cost about $200 at most.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone  knows of a place in N/A that carries them, preferably in Canada.  I doubt it, but you neve know.

These 2 shops have a big selection of Doc Marten's...i shopped at Trash many a times in my "rebel without a cause" days.....memories...

Both are on the same block....

I had good lick with Journeys online, and another place out of NYC when I got my 12 eye steelies.  I'll try and figure out who it was.

I had to go to the MALL to get my last pair (# 5?) of 1460's. I asked for them by number at this goofy I guess-what-they-want-to-sell-to-suburban-Philly-kids-who-want-to-look-punk store, and the clerk looked at my 37 year old ass like I was in the wrong place. I found the boots and explained what the numbers meant. By the time I bought them she knew more about Doc's than the store owner.

IMHO new Doc's leather is WAY thinner than it was 15 or 20 years ago. Nice if you want a pair of walking boots, but not so nice if you want abrasion protection. For comfort and geek factor they still rule though.

 

Sweet talk someone on the board into pickin' em up down here for you and mail back as a "gift".  
My docs' soles have worn very quickly and unevenly since i started using them for riding.

Well i work a block away from the 2 shops above in the evenings so i can check on availibility and price if ya like...

Quit draggin' your feet.

I don't know about them being not good for crashing.  I went down in mine and am happy to report that they held up great.  Nice, excellent quality boot.

i think www.angryyoungandpoor.com used to sell those,

i've still got a pair of carlina's that have the zipper up the side, either 12 or 14 eye, i dont' remember, i just got them at the army surplus store, and they've help up pretty nice

You're right. I'd make some excuse about stop and go/heavy traffic but  i think it's probably just bad habit.
