Redwing steel toe work boot recall.

Mine are black. USA made, no issues.

For what it's worth, I used to have black leather dye from my Doctor Martens 8 holes color my socks for the first two months.

I stopped buying Docs when they were purchased by the Nike corporation. I bought one pair, not knowing, to replace my 3rd worn pair that I had for 4 years...

The replacement pair lasted less than two months before the sole split apart at a heat joint that wasn't even a sewn or cloth bonded seam.

Doc Martens are a thing of the past, IMO. Someone told me some pairs are made in England. Went on their website and saw some NOS stuff, but nothing else as far as I could tell.
