New Potential Buyer, just want some opinions!

New Potential Buyer, just want some opinions!

Hey all!

I’ve had my eye on the Racer X New Rock Black Boot collab and I absolutely love the style. However, this is the first time I’ve heard of both of these brands and was wondering about people’s opinion on them (how they hold up, maintenance, how they fit on men, yadda yadda..). I’ve been wanting some true stompers for the longest time and it feels like a cosmic message that these popped up on my feed.
This is mostly in response to me seeing to $500 (USD) price tag and I’m trying to see if I should continue to hype myself up to buy them. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I ordered these like two weeks ago and the sole on the right one has worn down a bit in the back left corner (Ï wear them daily and walk around NYC and go to concerts) so they feel uneven and the leathers so scratched 💔💔
They’re my favorite shows ive ever owned tho so I’m gonna order more pairs (idk the model but the jeans are rock revivals)

Just ordered my new Boots!!!

Just placed the order for these, I can’t wait!! been hearing about questionable quality recently but they look too cool to not get. I guess we will see hopefully they’ll last me for years to come

Hi! I'm posting in looking for help. I am looking for a specific model Of new rocks (or is it an other brand). I can swear I saw someone with them on my ig feed and I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Specifically they are looking like the boots in the pictures but there is long curved spike on the middle of the metal plate both on front and back (and maybe also chains on them) I literally have been digging down internet for them and now I'm thinking I have imaginated them.

HELP me find these boots (also I couldnt find the one on the picture anywhere).

Hi! I just bought my first pair of new rocks. I’m usually a size 5.5 UK, from past experiences whenever I buy size 5 shoes they’re usually too small so I got a pair of the EU39 which is supposed to be a size 6, they feel very big without insoles, with insoles they’re a little better but not sure how I’d last with a day out in them….

Should I size down or just keep them with insoles and maybe wear with thick socks/heel protectors?

Looking at New Rock's website, I'm seeing a lot of models that look identical and differ only in price. The description is woefully inadequate to determine if there's any difference.

These two in particular:

https://newrock.com/en/products/m-met048nr-c9

MET048NR-C9 is €223.

Then MET048-C9 is €323

https://newrock.com/en/products/m-met048-c9

Does the NR in the product code symbolize anything in particular??

Similar here for MET048-C2 vs MET048-R4. I guess one doesn't have the New Rock logo on the shoe tongue? But otherwise looks identical?

https://newrock.com/en/products/m-met048-r4

https://newrock.com/en/products/m-met048-c2

Any kind of method to this product naming?

They carried me through so many festivals, through mud and deserted wastelands.

I know they are not the prettiest anymore, but they never lost their spark and I am not thinking about retiring them anytime soon :)

hi everyone! so i've found my dream new rocks, these ones.
i believe they're from the formula collection which have been discontinued.

does anyone here have them? i see them on sale advertised as the size below the one they've been marked as and i wonder if they come down small.

and i'd love to know about when they were made and if they're recommended. thank you!

can someone help me identify these new rocks?

impulsively bought these at a second hand shop, a size too small for me.

i know they’re almost New Rock Reactors, but the plates are different.

trying to sell these or potentially trade for something similar in my actual size! hence trying to find the model of them.
thanks!

has the quality of new rocks felt down because they are more trendy now?

i want to buy just basic pair of new rocks but i am scared that the quality wont be as good as the OG ones and that they will get destroyed faster… also if somebody has some recommendation about a model that looks similar to classic italy negro but stands out in some way i would really appreciate that! thank you!

Accidentally ordered too small

i'm normally eu38 (my doc martens are) and i accidentally ordered a size 36. Tried them on and they feel just a little bit squishy especially on the right foot but it doesnt feel too bad, but im afraid that itll get more uncomfortable over time. Is it worth returning and switching out for a bigger size?
