The price used to be forgivable because they would last forever (though I hear that’s not so much the case anymore) but yeah, I’ve had some of my worst blisters from DMs…
It all depends on the brand, you just have to research which brand you buy into.
I got a pair of Solovairs which have been wonderful thus far. They used to produce the OG 1970 Doc Marten before they flipped over to Chinese production, so the solovairs can still be resoled with a local cobbler and the materials are quality too (shoelaces were meh but those are cheap to replace).
So basically NPS Solovair, and Gripfast are solid lines of shoes to choose from for quality boot build.

What kind of D&D sessions give you blisters?
The vigorous kind.
So … many … dice rolls …
I’ve heard Solovair is now making the original boots of you want something that’s at least rumored to be as good as the old doc martens.
Thanks for the tip! Sadly they’re far too heavy for me nowadays 😂(chronic pain = pull up slippers lol)

Docs are garbage these days. Try Red Wings Iron Rangers or something similar
