Dr Martens Jara Boots are the ugliest boots I have seen in years. What confluence of “features” make the Dr. Martens Jara “not work” in my eyes? Let me see if I can dissect its badness gestalt.

Dr Martens Jara

Dr Martens Jara is a womens mid-calf biker boot, or rather trying to be an engineer/biker boot. So why is the toecap cut like a brogue? Seems not quite right. Also, if I were buying a boot of this style, I would want it to have a traditional hard sole, like a real engineer boot. The Dr Martens traditional transparent-y Airwair sole on the Jara Boot looks misplaced. However, a comfortable rubber sole is much better on the knees, especially for an urban boot. My third complaint is that the top opening looks so loose and flappy! Now with this all in the open, I will say I love the three silver buckles on the side straps with their small cross shapes– that is some nice hardware. The Dr. Martens Jara might be exactly right for you if you like punkrock looks circa 1975-1992. And if you plan to be tough and pound the pavement the Dr Martens Jara will be better on your feet and knees than any factory boot or traditional engineer boot. However, watch yourself if you are planning on kicking anything…the Dr. Martens Jara boot does not feature steel toes.

The Salomon Quest 4D GTX is a new generation hiking boot for men from Salomon. Men’s Salomon Quest 4D GTX features protection, comfort and stability from the most advanced Salomon trail running technologies. These technologies include the light and stable dual-density running chassis. This borrows sole and chassis technology directly from Salomon’s proven trail-running shoes and is designed in particular to hold your foot firmly on uneven ground.

The 4D Advanced Chassis is a thermoplastic urethane midsole support plate specifically designed to improve stability. It reduces lateral flex and also helps protect feet from the sharp, penetrating discomfort of sharp stony underfoot terrain.

The well-cushioned EVA foam mid-sole absorbs shock as your foot hits the ground – with no forward slippage heading down as the discreetly padded uppers do their stuff.

The padding round the gusseted tongue not only grips the forefoot and the ankle it’ll keep the rain out and any loose debris like shale from the slopes. It will also relieve some of the lace pressure, but hey, look at this. The lace-up features a locking cleat so can lace up the foot tight and the ankle loose or vice-versa. That’s a great idea. And the Gore-Tex liner keeps your feet dry during shallow stream crossing expeditions.

We reckon the Quest 4D GTX is the best three-season boot that Salomon has come up with in recent days with its appealing combination of lightness, stability, comfort and precision that works for hiking, backpacking and scrambling.

There too many features to cover them all here – we’ve summarised some of them below. The Salomon Quest 4D GTX boots really are the end of your Quest for great boots and come at the keen prices we have for you – click the link below.

Dr. Martens Tyree

The Dr Marten Tyree boot reminds me of our ridiculous comedy of errors when we first started tweeting at AllTheShoes. I had just written about the shiny tartan Dr Marten Boot, the McMarten, and had said something about how I imagine Henry Holland would wear it because Dr. Marten boots are fairly fabulous and this one was OTT. So I messaged Mr. Holland on Twitter saying how I thought he’d look great in the Dr. Martan McMarten boot, read about it on my blog, BLAH BLAH. I was in the U.S. at the time, and the next morning I woke annoyingly early at 5am, so I checked our twitterfeed on my mobile. I saw that Doc Crocs, my partner in crime here at AllTheShoes, had written a couple REPLIES to HH while I was sleeping, saying that he thought that the Dr Marten Tyree Boot was a better choice as its actually made for blokes. So, OMG Henry Holland has replied to us on Twitter! My partner Dr Crocs is tweeting with HH! I was as excited as a schoolgirl, and felt like a social media genius, because a fantastic fashion person had deigned to reply to my crushy little admiration tweet about Dr. Martens boots! I immediately cramp my thumbs firing off an ecstatic email to Dr Crocs in the UK SO EXCITED that Henry had replied. I get an immediate reply, saying “why are you up so early?” and some other stuff that was not so intelligible. Then…10 minutes later I get another email from my PARTNER Dr Crocs saying “oh. Oh. OH. I thought @henryholland wrote to us but that was just you writing to him. My mistake.” WTF! durr! My girlish self deflated and was so demoralised that not only hadn’t Henry replied to us, but now we are SPAMMING his Twitterfeed with our ideas about what Dr. Martens he should wear. The SHAME! It was a very sad day in cooperationland, and in our Twitter career, and I’m not certain that I’ve fully recovered.

HOWEVER, all that aside, the Dr Marten Tyree Boot is hot hot HOT, and definitely worthy of a certain edgy fashion designer, or really any guy that wants to rev up his outfit and make a statement. Traditional Dr Martens 8 eyelet boot meets fantastic tartan….how can you go wrong with the Dr Martens Tyree Boot? And they’re on sale …lot of great deals on the Tyree Boot now.
