It is, now. I mean, the reason why they're recommended over Docs is because they were a Docs subcontractor (IIRC) and have the same lasts. However, 10 years ago, Doc Martens were genuinely good. My pair is actually guaranteed for life, but they stopped selling that line.

If you were "in the know", then maybe you knew Solovair. Most folks knew Docs and knew a punk or a musician who had worn the same pair of Docs for 15 years. They were *the boot* for certain subcultures, and they sold out that reputation for a quick buck.
