My Torrid combat boots are falling apart, so I’m in the market for a new pair that are specifically platform boots that come in black.

Unfortunately, the pair from Solovair (pictured) that I’ve had my eye on for a while (their 8-eye derby platforms) is no longer being sold, and it was replaced with a visually worse alternative where the zippers face outward.

I’ve never owned Martens before, but knowing that Martens aren’t what they used to be, how much do I have to lose by picking up a pair of Jadon III’s instead? If anyone knows any alternatives in the same style that are also Goodyear Welt, that could also be an option.

    A missed opportunity for sure, it feels a bit late to name them now. My Atari 2600 and games, as well as most of NES games survived as well (with a few of the NES games slightly melted, system itself was toast) were the only other things that survived the fire. Once cleaned almost all the games worked.
