Have you found some awesome used docs? Let me know your finds!! *Also disclaimer: yes I have a lot of Dr Martens and I know that even second hand docs are still pricey but I save and work hard for my collection and I hope that giving advice on buying second hand can give more options for people who can't afford new dr martens (even I can't afford those, the pricing has gotten pretty crazy over the years). Love you pals!
all my docs except my jadons are all secondhand, over quarantine i feel like I’ve become a secondhand doc scavenger 😝 (my first secondhand pair was the classic oxfords that were in very gently used condition off a girl on depop for only $25!) i bought a vintage pair of doc mary janes on ebay that were in good condition last week for only $30 but a very unfortunate brown color, so i bought some leather dye and dyed + sealed them black and they turned out great 😃 (ppl were selling the black editions for like 3x the price of the brown!) i also found another doc martens made in england mary jane that was a t-strap style that just had some scuffs and needed the elastic of the buckle replace and a simple google how to search and they’re looking good as new for only $25 I feel like eBay is a god send for docs but depop is great too❤️
Yes! Please show how you style them. Also I would really love a lookbook, you have a great and fresh style! Love this channel, I'm so happy I found it.
I wear a uk3/us5 in docs and its usually still too big so I always buy the insoles from dr marten to put inside >>> and they def help! (they sell it by your shoe size so they fit perfect! I bought a pair of decently new docs off poshmark for $30 xD I was so shocked and thrilled!
1st pair - Jadon Brand-new 2nd pair - secondhand 1490 mie 3rd pair - secondhand 1460 To think that I finally dare to have lots of pairs. I love all of my 3 pairs but my jadon is my top 1 out of 3. Yes, jadon are heavy - no blisters when I break in for a week at home before testing them outside and then hello blisters 🤣🤣 I have 2 regular soles. Beautiful pairs. I’m happy to have. But. I feel empty walking them around because it’s too light for my feet. They are comfortable yet felt like I’m walking with paper boots all day. No matter what, I still love them😍
Yayyy I'm excited for the cleaning video! I will cherish my Docs FOREVER. I'm so happy I just bought a pair of Jadons secondhand and I've been searching for a LONG time for the right price. I also have bought a pair of the Clarissa sandals on Ebay :) Both of the Docs I found were never worn and in great condition! I really enjoy all your Dr Martens related videos!! Thank you
I find it so hard to find second hand docs! I did find a pair of second hand white doc sandals that I LOVE. it's worth the waiting to find the perfect pair. ♥ thanks for the tips!
Btw, if you're in the UK and you really want to not buy secondhand Dr Martens, there's a shop in Ashford where they sell lots of end-of-run Docs and I managed to get a display pair of Jadons for £80 instead of £160.
My first pair just came earlier :) I bought it online for $3. It's exactly my size and it's a Black 1460. It's kinda dirty tho and a few scratches, and the top part looks like ur brown ones 😅 but I don't really mind it. It's nice that it's much easier to break in. Can't wait for the cleaning video :))
I used to use Mercari to buy and sell and really liked it, but I haven't shopped online in a while so I don't know if it's changed since I last used it. Granted I'm in the US, not Australia, but I've used Mercari instead of Depop. I've gotten plenty of things off of it but the docs I bought off this site were in great condition. Happy I found them for $60, which I used my sales profit to purchase them without having to dip into my bank account, so super plus. BUT... They are the freaking Worst to break in. The previous owner said she tried for four months off and on to wear them in and had no luck, so she posted them. I bought them and they were so stiff, they felt brand new, like the previous owner never wore them. I've had them for like two years now and I cannot wear them for more than 20 minutes without cutting my feet up. And I know that's how the process works for docs but jeez. Two years of this with little progress? Thinking maybe it's time to let them go 😭
Thanks for the great video! After getting the Jadons I think the last pair on my wishlist would be the 2976 quads. They are on ASOS for around 160€ at thr momrnt, so that would be a pretty great deal…
@@lydiac9758 they sell authentic doc martens for really cheap at Nordstrom rack! I would really recommend checking it out..... although they might not always have the ideal color they always change in their selection!
All of my DMs were thrifted ranging from 8$ (400php) to 14$ (700php) here in the Philippines. My brown 1461 with 8$ tag price was bought in a street market. I also got a rare ankle suede boots for only 14$. All of them were made in England. What a great steal!
That was 6 or 7 years ago before the DMs hypewave. Thrift store owners in major cities here already knew the brand and they sell Asian made 2ndhand DMs for 40US$ - 80US$, its pricey if you used to buy thrifted ones for only an 8$. Made in England DMs are also very hard to find now a days. But still, you can dig rare treasures in cheaper prices in thrift stores especially in rural areas here. I really like your channel!
I just depopped a pair of dr martens agyness deyn 1490 in cherry 🍒🖤 Can’t wait to get them. I have the Bethan’s and I bought them to wear with fun socks 👍🏻 I also recently found a pair of 1461 made in England shoes for my 6 yo son for $20 on Poshmark.
Im an eu size 40 which is an american size 8.5, and ive been thinking about buying the bethans for some time now. But eu size 40.5 fits me better but a 41 which is an american 9 rarely fits me. What size should i buy? Because they iv never seen them on depop in eu 40 (didnt even search for 40,5, it seems impossible)
I have the voss sandals in a eu 40, it fits nice and a vintage pair w steel toes they look like the classic docs and i have no idea what size they are cause i got them from the thrift store for 10 dollars and the tag is unreadable
Hmm. Are your feet wide or skinny? That is the size feet I have and they are skinny and I got the bethans in an 8 like most my docs. My toes almost touch the end and I find them very wide. I have to buckles them the tightest they go and add an inner sole. I would say go for an 8 but it’s really hard to know.
Hey i have a question, i found docs on depop jadon boots and they have a scuff and are barely used but are marked down 60 of retail. are scuffs easy to get off jadon boots? I'm just not sure if this is a good deal or if I should ask for lower.
My boyfriend got me white jadons second hand from depop brand new still was in the box I'm obsessed with them I also have a brand new pair from goodwill that I got for $25 they were my first pair of docs and I have a pair of the molly glitter ones my friend got me awhile back she got them from depop and I got a pair of low red oxfords with a zipper super cute got them from depop I got a pair of gladiator pair of sandal lace up docs from platos I've only ever bought 2 pairs of docs not second hand my yellow doc boots and my white and black blaire sandals but I got both pairs extremely discounted I love watching your videos because it reminds me of my obsession
I got them second hand but sometimes the dr martens website has them. The styles are the Dr Marten Chelsea Quads and the Dr Martens Bethans (those are hard to find but lazy oaf just came out with similar ones)
On Dr Martens website it says all shoes sold in the US have US sizing, and all shoes sold in the UK have UK sizing. So if you find a used pair of Docs and nobody knows where it came from originally, is there any way to know if the size is a UK size or a US size? I tried measuring the insole but it is difficult to be sure about an insole length measurement. I have a pair of shoes that are a 7, but is that a US 7 or a UK 7?
In the Wander Years thank you!! I really want some 1490’s just can’t decide the color! Stay safe!!! Can’t wait until you’re next video💚✌🏽 I loved this vid, like always!
Thanks sis for recommending to Depop. I was just duped. Chick had picture of shoes with size . I was thinking she was selling the shoes no. I made payment but she doesn’t have the shoes. She was looking for shoes and put at the bottom your money will not be refunded. 100.00$ I cannot believe people. I wish had waited a couple of days before buying since I Didn’t understand how it works. I wish I knew who you bought from because I wouldn’t been duped. Do you have any recommendations on users?
Please take this up with paypal/depop. It's been 3 months so I'm not sure if you can still open a dispute, I hope you can! People put all sorts of rubbish in the description, not realising the app has its own terms and conditions. Don't get scammed out of money!!!
They are really wide on me, I added an inner sole from my sports shoes to fix it but I still have to tighten them to the tightest point. Careful cause if they don’t fit right you might break an ankle.
@@inthewanderyears OK, I'm sometimes a UK 3 but usually a UK 4. I think if I manage to buy them I'll probably size down and get a UK 3. Have a nice day ! 😊
i got a $20 pair off facebook marketplace bc the girl selling wasn’t sure if they were real (she got them secondhand) & they were legit basically unworn!! also copped a $25 pair of vintage made in england 1460s from an op shop which was an unreal find (legit perf condition too)
couldn't be further from the truth about ebay. ebay is hands down the safest place to both buy and sell any valuable clothing/shoes. ebay will refund a buyer with no questions asked, if someone receives a fake item. also, ebay hasn't been a "bidding" site since like the 90's. Predominantly, they're Buy It Now - Or Best Offer. What's depop's buyer protection look like? If it's anything like mercari/poshmark, it'll fizzle out. How do I know this? I sell high-end, authentic shoes on ebay as a side hustle. I gross $3600/month roughly, have sent a ton of nike's, new balance, asics etc. through their 3rd party authenticator program and have never had an unhappy customer. I've had shoes sell within 12 minutes of listing them. If you want to buy vintage/distressed Doc's, I'd suggest searching ebay. The people that do run auctions, are usually boomers that don't really understand the state of ecommerce in 2021 and always wonder why their item sold for so little. You'll be able to grab doc's from their auctions for pennies on the dollar! take advantage.
I usually enjoy the content on your channel but today is very difficult because you haven’t acknowledged current events such as the Black Lives Matter movement and police brutality. I would love to see you use your platform through making a video to spread information about the different places people can donate, sign petitions and support the Black Lives Matter movement. This is not only a United States issue but a global one.

How do you get on the Chelsea boots?? I’m having such a difficult time
I bought my first pair today preowned, used a few times and got them for $60 :))
all my docs except my jadons are all secondhand, over quarantine i feel like I’ve become a secondhand doc scavenger 😝
(my first secondhand pair was the classic oxfords that were in very gently used condition off a girl on depop for only $25!)
i bought a vintage pair of doc mary janes on ebay that were in good condition last week for only $30 but a very unfortunate brown color, so i bought some leather dye and dyed + sealed them black and they turned out great 😃 (ppl were selling the black editions for like 3x the price of the brown!)
i also found another doc martens made in england mary jane that was a t-strap style that just had some scuffs and needed the elastic of the buckle replace and a simple google how to search and they’re looking good as new for only $25 I feel like eBay is a god send for docs but depop is great too❤️
Wow what an awesome collection just over quarantine!!
this video was really helpful I've wanted to get them second hand recently, thanks
Thanks Holly! Hope you find some!
Yes! Please show how you style them. Also I would really love a lookbook, you have a great and fresh style! Love this channel, I'm so happy I found it.
Will definitely do a look book in them soon!! Aww thanks so much!!
loved the vid!!! i recently got the mary janes and i am obsessed :))
Thanks Liz!! Oh nice, bet they look so rad!
I would love to see a video styling the 2976! I have them in black and would love to see how you style them! Love you 💕
Totally!! I love them so much already! Thanks 😊
Please make a video on how to style the white ones!!💕
I will try do that soon!
Thank you!!
I wear a uk3/us5 in docs and its usually still too big so I always buy the insoles from dr marten to put inside >>> and they def help! (they sell it by your shoe size so they fit perfect!

Right? I am a regular thrift shopper, been frequenting secondhand shops almost weekly for many years and have never once seen Docs.
Btw, if you're in the UK and you really want to not buy secondhand Dr Martens, there's a shop in Ashford where they sell lots of end-of-run Docs and I managed to get a display pair of Jadons for £80 instead of £160.
I got some from a discount doc store in London. I got some black glitter jadons for £50 😍
Awesome info!! Thanks Hannah
I love your room! So vibeyyyy
Thanks so much!!
Such a helpful video ! You’re docs are stunning
Thanks so much!
I’ve had good luck on Poshmark but also on eBay I’ve bought docs that I won on a bid for $85

$3?!?! That’s so awesome!! You could always make them blacker with polish too!
@@inthewanderyears ikr! Also I just cleaned and polished it and it looks pretty new, can wait to wear them outside!

In the Wander Years Thats so true! I already have the regular ones, but, you know, platforms…
I bought a pair of DM that were NEW for USD 30!! They’re not my ideal color but they were so cheap that I couldn’t let them pass
They might be fake , they sell fakes on dhgate , but hopefully you got real ones

Yay! Thank you! You're the best!
was able to get a really good pair of 1461's for like £60 (110 AUD??) off depop a few days ago 🙏

Where do u buy these from? Can u show the link
I got them second hand but sometimes the dr martens website has them. The styles are the Dr Marten Chelsea Quads and the Dr Martens Bethans (those are hard to find but lazy oaf just came out with similar ones)
Just got my first Doc 1461 and honestly it hurts but it is worth. Might try buy second hand just so I get past the break in phase.
Where can I buy second hand dr marten?
Do you have the clarissas? If so how do they fit. I get a U.K. 5 in boots so should I go for the same on sandles. I do have wide feet 💖
I do have the clarissas! I sized down but my feet are super narrow, maybe you’d get the same size but definitely try them on if you can!
On Dr Martens website it says all shoes sold in the US have US sizing, and all shoes sold in the UK have UK sizing. So if you find a used pair of Docs and nobody knows where it came from originally, is there any way to know if the size is a UK size or a US size? I tried measuring the insole but it is difficult to be sure about an insole length measurement. I have a pair of shoes that are a 7, but is that a US 7 or a UK 7?
Most docs will have the uk sizing if they are older so it’s likely it’s uk.
Yessssss literally was just DM shopping lol
Nice! Hope you find some great ones!
In the Wander Years thank you!! I really want some 1490’s just can’t decide the color! Stay safe!!! Can’t wait until you’re next video💚✌🏽 I loved this vid, like always!
