I have still found some boots made in England, but not as many as in the two previous countries. Most Doc Martens boots and shoes I checked in-store were made in Vietnam or China. The US and EU legislation requires brands to indicate the country of origin of any goods.ĭoc Martens provides a list of footwear factories where its products are manufactured and supplied, but the list misses some countries I have found in-store, so I wouldn’t rely on that list 100%.

If you want to know where your Doc Martens boots and shoes are manufactured, you need to check the label of the physical product. In my opinion, all brands should be transparent or at least consistent with the information they provide on their website. People tend to believe products made in Europe are better than those manufactured in Asia. So why would a brand state all products made in England and not those manufactured in Vietnam or China? It’s clear that Doc Martens wants to be perceived as a footwear brand that manufactures in England and nowhere else. Other brands like Carhartt, The North Face, Timberland, or Versace do the same, indicating the most convenient countries and “forgetting” those they don’t want you to know. I also visited a couple of Doc Martens stores in London Oxford Street and some multi-brand stores that sell Doc Martens products, checking multiple items. So let’s find out where Doc Martens shoes, boots, and other products are made.ĭoc Martens doesn’t list where its products are manufactured on the product descriptions on its website unless the goods are made in England. I always advocate this: either a brand states where all the products are made or not. I have reviewed hundreds of product descriptions on the Doc Martens website to check if the brand lists where the products are made. However, you can find differences between Doc Martens made in England and other countries.


I didn’t know Doc Martens till I lived in England, so I decided to try a pair of boots, and they were a pretty good choice for a chilly Winter.

Please see my full disclosure policy for details.ĭoc Martens is a very popular and reliable footwear brand strongly associated with British culture, but does it mean its products are made in England? Where are Doc Martens made? That means if you click and buy from that link, I may receive a small commission (at zero cost to you), which helps me maintain the quality of this blog.
