    I wear these Doc Martens almost every day. They are very comfortable and will last for years. Very well made shoes which can take a pounding.

    I had a pair of these 8053s years and years. Before purchasing a new pair I read the reviews of the new ones and I was not sure what I would be getting. I am happy to say my new pair is just as quality and just as comfortable as my first pair. I love my new pair and wear them regularly. The 8053s are my favorite because of the padded heel area. You may be interested to know that I am a female and these shoes look quite good, not manly, on the ladies. They dress up very well for those days you do not want to wear heels.

    These will stretch a little! I ordered size 15 and they felt a little tight. After a day of wearing, they were absolutely perfect. I have had bad luck in the past with dress shoes since they have always been uncomfortable or hurt my feet. These shoes were amazing and I highly recommend. Zappos provided very fast shipping right before Christmas and they arrived before the advertised date. Will shop here and purchase similar in the future.

    About Dr. Martens

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Dr. Martens are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    One of the most respected and well-know icons in the world, Dr. Martens' boots, shoes, work shoes, and sandals continue to set the standard for durability, comfort and fashion. Dr. Martens's trademark look and quality construction has been recognized world-wide since 1960.

    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.

    Dr. Martens are “classics” for a reason. These did take a long time to break-in, but now that a year of almost daily use has passed they are wonderful! They still look very new, barely any wrinkles on the upper and the tread is almost 100% still. I'm confident these will last a long time. I have relatively normal width feet, but these do feel a bit wide for me, even though I got the standard D width. Otherwise, they fit great and never caused any blistering or discomfort. Hopefully I won't have to, but I would buy them again!

    Dr. Martens are a sure thing when it comes to value for a moderate investment in footwear. The legendary long-wearing materials and quality of construction used by 'Doc Martens', combined with all-day comfort is a 'buy' for anyone in the market for a relaxed business appropriate shoe.

    This model has a really nice sole, and a super heavy leather upper which I love. It should last a long time. I am concerned about the durability of the heel area padding, which seems to be vinyl instead of leather, so be careful putting these on as to not crush it too much. The width also seems to be wider than D as advertised, and the arch support is almost non-existent, if that is important to you. Overall it's a great casual shoe, and they look good with khakis and jeans. It does take a while to break them in, but once you do they're quite comfortable.

    Zappos themselves is one of the greatest companies to work with! Customers will be made happy and if you are having a bad day just call them for the home of the day. Shoes I bought from them were quickly sent to me and for according to size perfectly. Very impressed by swoops yet again!

    This is a versatile shoe that can be worn with casual or business dress. Every pair has been comfortable, fit well and built reliable. The high quality of the shoe was complemented by an outstanding transaction. This was a user friendly process from looking for the shoe, all the way to receiving it. Will use this site again.

    Quality shoes, delivered from a quality company. I've owned this style of Doc Martens for over 10 years. I finally had to order a replacement pair, not because the old ones were worn out, but because my teenage son took my old pair back to school with him.

    These shoes were purchased as a Christmas gift for my 27 year old son. He manages an upscale restaurant and is on his feet, not surprisingly, for 12 hrs. or more a day. He loves these shoes. They were true to size but even if they weren't, Zappos incredible return policy makes it so easy to exchange for another size. I cannot sing the praises of Zappos enough. Great company, great customer service, and great products! They sell more than shoes!
