According to Wikipedia, Dr Marten's only makes about 50 pairs of shoes a day in a UK factory these days, the rest of production having been shipped to Asia in 2003.

Guess the "Made in England" ones aren't so easy to come by any more.

Value Village still has them from time to time.

Bugger that was $200 well spent then for just ONE winter, whoopee Hers were probably made in China but they have the Union Jack on them which is why she HAD to have them.

The idea of wearing other peoples shoes gives me the heebie jeebies.

Come to Siberia for minus 40 in January!

When I was at school in the UK in the 1960's/70's Dr.Martin's shoes were specifically banned on pain on a good beating! I suppose such treatment would be called 'child abuse' these days! What has the world come to?

Isn't everything basically made in China then shipped to "the country" to attach the "made in" label?

An Aussie ex-pat trucker documented this trip through the Dakotas and on to Saskatoon. Missleah, you're going to love this! I think the weather gets up about halfway through.

Mountain Hard Wear all the way. As long as you can get them in the sale

IMO, unless you wish to pose down the pub, there is little to choose between the main manufacturers - windproof, waterproof, breathable outer shell and as many warmer layers underneath as the conditions call for will do you just fine.

Does posing down the pub even exist as a concept in Canada?

I am sure there are a few expats that give it a go
