My first pair of DM's (at age 39). One week of pain breaking them in and then they're butter. Great shoe. Black stitch makes them perfect for work. Get 'em (and don't wait until middle age).

I love these shoes! They're super comfortable and look great! I have a fairly wide foot and these shoes accommodate me comfortably. They have great traction and are well made. The only thing that bothered me at first was the back of the shoe rubbed my ankle raw because it hit me just in the wrong spot... I ended up adding an insole and it made that problem disappear and worth the extra 10 bucks I paid for the insoles. I'd give 5 stars if I didn't have to add the insole since the factory soles are so comfortable without any modifications.

Comfortable, true to fit. The leather is a bit shiny and I prefer a bit matte with more of a worn look. These look brand spanking new and hospital shoe like. But with wear, they'll develop a personality.

I have had these exact Docs for years. I ordered a new pair, exact same style (1461) and size as the ones I have. They are way too big! They are also slightly different in style. The toe are is more raised/bulbous.

I love, love, love these shoes and Zappos! I haven't experienced any issues with breaking them in, but they are a little warm for the South Carolina summer! I originally ordered the 8 for my size 7.5 foot, but ended up returning and getting the 7, much better!

Classic Dr. Martens shoe. Can't leave home without. You know the shoe, you know the quality. Zappos delivers what you need. Just remember, the full shoe size steps: means it might be on the big size.

Bought this shoe in Oct 2008 and wear them everyday to work. There was a good week or so of breaking in but they then became completely comfortable. I was worried that the made in China version of Docs would not last but 2 and a 1/2 years later there is very little wear or breaking down of the leather and sole. I had a made in England chukka style shoe that lasted 6 years of daily use so if I can get close to that with these shoes, I will be very happy.

Since I'm a long time Dr. Martens user, it's very natural to stick to the original, though I don't know why. It's not easy to find these shoes in my department stores, so came here.

Very comfortable, and great for the office. These don't have the classic Dr. Martens yellow stitching and are inconspicuous at work. My new favs.

I always buy from Zappos. Easy return policy. Sometimes you buy shoes from department stores, and they're stretched out - with Zappos, every time I ordered, they were brand new. I'm upset that the Docs were from China, not England and there is a difference, if you have the real ones, but they still look great and are comfy. Next month, ordering some summer shoes.

Zappos was really helpful when I messed up my order and needed to fix it. Then the shoes they sent me were the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. You really need to try Dr. Martens 1461's. Evidently they have updated their insoles and are now better than ever.

These shoes were a Christmas gift; my son had a pair for four years. I loved them. Service and personal attention was great and shipping fast. I will definitely use again.

These shoes were bought as a gift for my son. He's worn Docs for years and loves them. And Zappos is the best!

Great shoes. I've owned a few pairs in my life, and always been happy. There's a little bit of a break in period, but after they're broke in they're super comfortable. Very durable as well.

I'm not sure I'd add anything to what others have said. A classic shoe that's surprisingly comfortable. I normally wear a 11.5/12 and I ordered a 12 (UK size 11). Mine came with yellow laces as well for a bit of an added style. Dr. Martens brand proves once again to stand the test of time.

In terms of iconic shoe-y goodness, on par with your favorite pair of ripped and faded Chucks. Only these leather lace-ups will last a lot longer. Regulation footwear for the slog from England's freezing factory floors to the filthy, punk-hard pavement enshrined in music history, multiple years and miles and haircuts from now, this patented Airwair sole will still be protecting you from unexpected bumps in the road. Honestly, can you say that about any people you know?

I wear a womens 9-9.5 and find the US mens size 7 fits me best in these. Took me about 3 weeks to break them in, wearing them for 30-40 minutes once a day. Now they are pretty comfortable & I can wear them for a full 13 hour day on my feet, no problem.

These are very comfortable shoes. This is my first pair of "Docs". I had a slight heel run the first week, but a little bending of the heel area of the shoe daily and that went right away. Just my weird feet, I guess. Shoes are a very sturdy build and completely safe over wet pavement. (Almost never rains in So CA, so why I mentioned that, I have no idea! )
