Dr. Martens 8836 ST SKU #109760(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Best boot purchase I have made in a long time. Very comfortable and the look of the boot is unique when compared to other boots in their class. Also I like the fact that this boot has rings for the top shoe lace holes rather than the class hook style which tends to "chew up" laces very fast. Over all I could be more happy with them!

I bought these boots for work. I work at a salvage yard on concrete floors all day. The soles are very comfortable. However, they are a heavy shoe, so they're great for standing stability but not good for lots of walking. After a few months I wore through the toes, but I'm going to glue toe guards on them. Otherwise, they've held up well.

Love the boots; I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day, on concrete, I have plantar fasciitis in my feet and these are the only boots that don't cripple me up. The boots are high enough that they support my ankles. I have never gotten blisters when their new. Put 'em on and wear 'em.

After hearing my boss rave about your store, I decided to buy my next pair of shoes from your store. My first pair did not fit. I returned them at no cost and had my next pair within a short time. Process was simple and easy. Very pleased!

Great boots - I bought these boots for my daughter who needed steel toed boots but is very fussy about what she wears. She absolutely loves them. She says they are very comfortable and look great too! I appreciate that fact that they are well made and last a long time. I have bought her other Dr.Marten boots and every time have been impressed with the quality as well as the service of Zappos. I ordered the boots and had them the next day! Now that's service.

Dr Martens8836 - I bought these even though I had read lots of complaints, and they are wrong, these boots are very comfortable, and fit well, I got them to be able to ride my motorcycle, they give me a bit added height, being 5'3 I need it, Great pair of boots.

Great Boots! I work in an industrial battery warehouse. These shoes have saved my feet from falling objects to splatters of acid going all over them. And these shoes never miss a beat! Totally the most comfortable shoes I own. I will wear them till they fall off my feet and then order another of the same model! Totally worth the price!

Solid - In true DM style these boots are both comfortable and cool. Insoles mold to your feet in a day and the steel toe is as tough as anything on the market. I'm not a big "high top" fan usually, but these are the most conformable work shoes that I have ever owned, and now I don't mind being on my feet all day.

For those that live in the kitchen... I have just recently purchased my third pair of these boots. They are wonderful. I work 8+ hours everyday in a kitchen and these boots truly stand up to the test. The soles of these boots have survived everything from grease/oil/food/etc. on the ground with incredible slip resistance and have handled extremely well with sharp objects and 375 degree oil dropped on them. The previous two pair I have owned has each lasted 2+ years and I have no doubt the third will last just as long or longer. I wear a 12 USA (11 UK) and have a wider foot than average and these boots fit great! These boots are the best protection for my feet. I highly recommend them!

Still the best! This is the second pair of 8836's I have owned. I got my first pair in 2000 and they were still going strong till this year. I melted the heel really bad on the exhaust of my motorcycle otherwise I would still be wearing them. They are tough but not fireproof ;) The old pair that I had were when they were still made in England and I would have to say that they were better made but not by a significant margin. The boots do require a lot of breaking in, almost two weeks till they had loosened up around the ankles enough to feel comfortable. The fit is almost identical to the old pair (I still have them and am looking for someone to re-sole them). The toe area is nice and roomy which is a big plus for me because I normally wear an EE and these feel even bigger without being too loose. The sole is not as springy as the old pair but the trade off is that the new ones are even more slip resistant than the old ones. The insole is the only real weak points of these boots in that you have to replace them with something else. I got a pair from the pharmacy for 12 bucks and now the fit is perfect. The "greasy" finish on the boots does not hold up very long or well but a once a month polish with regular black polish brings the finish back nicely. I have always liked the look of thick chunky boots that look like boots are supposed to look like, and these fill the bill perfectly. Overall I would say that with a little work you will have a tough, comfortable and good looking pair of boots that will last you a long time and be up to 10 hour days 6 days a week with a Sunday ride thrown in once in a while too. I highly recommend them.
