    How lkmg would you expect a pair of Dr Martens to last ?
    Walking about 40 minutes a day.

    I've had a pair come apart at the stitching and I'm wondering should I return them or just get then repaired ?

    I've never had a pair of doc's come apart on me, I'd nearly get on to them in the UK for a new pair. I'm on my feet the whole time and swear by them. They wear out but never have fallen apart.

    How long have you had the boots? (Though I never had a pair of DMs come apart either.)

    Mine lasted for around 5 years.

    Eventually the sole cracked.

    I do remember having a pair that lasted years a long while back.

    I've had one pair split the sole after about 3 months and now these come apart after a similar timeframe.
