New pair of docs from Blackmans, where I used to buy me boots as a kid.


9 December 2017 - Blackmans Shoes, Cheshire Street

Apparently Blackmans closed in 2023, after 87 years of selling boots to skinheads.

I reckon this will prove to be the last pair of DMs I buy - the quality is just awful nowadays (that's what being taken over by a hedge fund does for your product).

Yeah...Solovair are the way to go now. Made in Northampton on the original machinery by the workers who lost their jobs when DMs went overseas.
