10 hole all the way. My alltime favourite Doc boot. I have worn DMs for years now, but always come back to the black ten hole boot. Stylish, whatever you wear, wherever you go, if you're on your feet all day, Doc's do the job. If I had to give one piece of advice to anyone it would be, "Buy a pair of Doc Boots" You will not be disappointed.
Brands I'd also recommend: Any Doc Marten's boot, ten hole preferable

The best boot ever!! I've had my Doc ten eyes for almost nine years now. I picked them up while in Europe while in the military, and they've been my all-purpose footwear. They're still in great shape, and have only gotten more comfortable as the years have rolled along. These shoes have endured countless miles of travel, and show no sign of giving up. If you do not own a pair, you have no idea what you are missing.

I am 50+ and Docs are not just for the young!!!!!! I bought mine when I was driving Big Rigs with my husband and could not find a good work boot small enough.(4.5 boys) I have had mine now for about 8 or 9 years and they still look great.

Disappointed. Over all, Doc's are by far the best deal out there. But I was disappointed that they didn't even last 18 months. Which is about twice as long as most other boots have lasted me. After wearing the soles near flat, they formed cracks and the leather insole started ripping appart.

About Dr. Martens
Where the classic 1460 style was being used by mailmen, union workers, and factory workers, it soon became popular among the masses. The 1460 continues to thrive, symbolizing individualism, originality, and taps into a individual's unique style who's willing to make that bold statement.
Dr. Martens doesn't think of itself as a "shoe" brand, but rather a way of thinking, a self-expression if you must. Popularly known as Doc Martens, they allow you to feel free to rock your grunge shorts, spike up your hair to the heavens, showoff your body art, whatever floats your boat. So whether you call them Dr. Martens, Doc Martens or just Docs there are no limits to your creativity.

Another great pair - Just got a pair of new Docs days ago, and this being my upteenth pair in about 14 years. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a good pair of Docs. I've been reading some reviews where people balked at how long the break-in time is. Lemme tell a little secret folks, it's called mink oil. 8/10/14 eye, all great all recommended. Also want to give "kudos" to Zappos for making transactions the easiest one could hope for. thanks.

Doc Martens 10 eye boots are the best I have ever had - I bought my first pair of Docs about 20 years ago when I was 15. I have worn Docs ever since: 8 eye, 10 eye and 14 eye. Of all of them I find the 10 eye the most comfortable. They take a little breaking in. After that it is incredible hard wearing comfort. The soles seem to mould to your feet. They also look great. I don't wear anything else

Doc's Rule - I have bought nothing but Doc's for the last 12 years now. I'd have to say the best of the bunch would have to be 10's with 8's coming in a close 2nd. I'd rather walk bare foot when wear anything elsa.

The best boot made! I just got a new pair from Zappos (fantastic service!) to replace an identical pair that finally wore out after 14 YEARS of service. This is a lovely boot that looks good with pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses and is good for year round wear. This boot should be a staple of every person's wardrobe. They have comfy bouncy soles, and the leather provides great ankle support. They were very stiff when I first put them on, but after about two or three hours of wear, they felt broken in. Just make sure to wear socks, because Doc's are leather with no insole inside. You can put in an insole of your choosing, but regular socks are enough.

Dr. Marten's 1490 combat boots - Much lighter-weight than I expected, and more supple too. I can hardly wait to give them to my son. Hope he likes them as much as I do!

Excellent boot as always with Dr. Marten's - I absolutely love them! Mine have the black smooth leather which is cool because it looks different than just regular leather. You can make it look really shiny by polishing. This style is just like the 1460, but a few inches taller in the height. I like my boots closer to my calves. It does take a few times wearing them to break them in, but who cares because after that they are so comfortable. The "bouncing" soles are my favorite. Whatever rubber they use makes them really comfortable when walking. I used to have a pair of Dr. Martens when I was in the 7th grade, but grew out of them. I am just as pleased with them the second time around.

I Love Docs! Let me first say that Zappos has provided one of the best online experiences I've had with a retailer. I was upgraded to free 2nd day air! I think these Dr. Martens are some of the most comfortable shoes around. This is my second pair of Docs, the first kind that I had was the 1460 eight-holes, they were basically the same, but one thing that bothered me was that the tounge would dig into my shin when I bent my foot, So with these I went for the ten hole, and let me tell you, they're much, much better. Also, I prefer the smooth leather to the greasy leather. Whenever I wore the smooth leather, they felt more like cowboy boots because they had that type of leather. The smooth leather looks better, and is more of what people associate with these types of leather. In addition, the leather was softer and a little thinner. The break-in time for me was short, like a day and a half. But one thing that I have to recomend is to lace from the outside. This means, when you are lacing, thread the lace into the shoe from the outside, as opposed to threading from the inside out. For some reason, it took pressure off of my foot and made it much more comfortable. I believe the shoe in the picture on this page is laced "wrong" but do whatever you want. Excellent Boots! p.s. dont get the hiking soles, with the diamond pattern, they aren't as comfortable, only the original!

So happy with this boot! Great fit, classic Dr. M's look with a squishier sole. They're very comfy, even when spending all day on foot. They run a little smaller than my regular size, so I bought a size up and the fit is perfect. Zappos service is first rate and is the best place online to buy shoes! I will shop here often!

Searched 'til found. I'm 6'6" tall with size 15 feet and I have a rough time finding shoes in my size. My first pair of Zappos boots was the DM 1490. I knew from reading the reviews that they would take a bit to break in. They truly live up to their reputation as being comfortable. After a month of hard labor (250 lbs of me plus what I pack) they show little wear. Perhaps the best wearing boot I've had to date. They look great (I love the look of shiny black and I polish them often). Unfortunately they don't breath. Overall; an excellent choice for any hard working individual.
