I forgot the brand name that is now operating in old DrMartens boot factories in GB. Those are apparently good

solovair, they’re amazing (and expensive).

Ah yes! That's it. Literally with a sole of air haha

More expensive than Martens? Last I checked they weren't really that far off

If you're talking about the "good" Dr Martens I think you're right. Last time I checked Solovair were the ones actually making the expensive "made in UK" Martens, and their own brand were slightly less pricy.

The vast majority of the new Martens you can find are cheaply made in Asia and are not very expensive though

They are amazing! And buying a pair will last years so will average out in your favour.
