Dr. Martens 9663 SKU #108059(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Very Nice Boots - These boots are great. I know that they have great quality and durability and will probably last forever. The only thing bad I can say is that it takes FOREVER to lace them up.

Wish they stayed true English - My order came super fast; thank you Zappos great service. Now about the boots, I have Doc's from 95 & 98 in my closet, yes they are worn but still look good and wearable. (shoe polish is my friend.) This pair although good looking I find the lip (which is long) is verrrry thin and they didn't do anybody a favour with their new soles pretty sure these will be gone before the other ones sad to say. But will enjoy them for what they are worth.

My first pair of Docs... I was skeptical at first about buying this boot due to the warnings about the boot not fitting well for people with large calves. I have a 15" circumference starting about 12-13 inches from my heel, and wasn't sure if the boot would fit. I did not want a zip-up boot, despite the fact that they do have a slightly larger circumference. I ordered a UK 7 and the boot fits me fairly well- definitely a keeper. Like others, I do wish the shaft was 2-3 inches taller, because they are not actually knee high. My few times lacing the boots, I gave myself 3 blisters from pulling the laces, and breaking them in is quite a chore; don't buy them if you do not want to invest a little time (& pain) in making them comfortable.

I got a pair of these boots 10 years ago, and while they are still wearable, I felt like I needed to get a new pair. After a huge hassle buying and exchanging these with another online shoe company, I decided to try Zappos. I'm glad I did. Zappos is slightly more expensive, yes, but they make up for it with their quick shipment. I ordered these boots late Saturday night (so they didn't go out until Monday) and got them on Monday. They upgraded me for some reason to next day shipping even though I paid for second day. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Between Zappos excellent service to its customers, and the great look of these boots, I am very happy today. I put my boots on as soon as they came, they fit perfect, look perfect, and I don't plan to take them off until it hurts! :D

Devoted Dr. Marten fan in D.C. This was my first experience in using Zappos. The price, selection and the service were excellent. Its great way to buy shoes. I ordered a size 8 like my old ones, but they were too small, so I returned them for a size 9. Since they are no longer made in England the size apparently runs about a full size smaller. I have worn 20 Eye Doc's since I entered the 7th grade. Now, I am out of college for several years and working full time. When I was in the 6th grade several other guys had Doc Marten boots and I began asking my parents to get me a pair of the 20 eyes like my friends. They were very reluctant, since I didn't take care of my clothes and shoes. Finally, they bought me a pair upon entering the 7th grade. I was really proud of them, rolling up my jeans or tucking them in to show off my boots. They became the only shoes I wore, except for gym class. When I out grew my other shoes my mother gave them away and bought me a new pair of Doc's. Other than a pair of converse high tops and a pair of 20 eye Gripfast boots, they are the only shoes I have owned for the last 20 years. My present pair, which were made in England I've had for quite a few years. They are almost totally worn out, the leather is beginning to crack and split and the heels and soles are worn flat. Even so, they still shine up. I hate to give them up they are so comfortable. I have worn them everywhere: from every day casual, hiking, biking, even to my best friend's black tie wedding. I wear them to work dressed for business every day, as well. Perhaps, they are no longer the fashion statement they were when I was in college. Now I wear them because they are incredibly comfortable. I wear from morning till night. Guys, they are great. I hope my new ones break in to be as comfortable and as long lasting as my old ones.

Dr. Martens Boots Review - I’m reviewing here both the 1940 and the 9663 models of Dr Martens. I’m riding a motorcycle and have decided to buy some boots to block the winter wind when I ride. I initially bought the 1940 and immediately loved them. They did feel a bit large but I lace them tight and it’s fine. This was my ever first boot and I was so thrilled with the feeling so I went on and bought also the taller 9663 (nearly knee-high); what can I say... awesome boots! The leather of the 9663 is smoother and slicker, and in fact even though they are much taller than the 1940, it seems they weigh less. If you have a budget for one pair, I would say go for the 9663. I find the 1940 more comfortable for motorcycle gear shifting due to the bulky toe box. Overall both models are great and I wear them all the time even when I’m not riding. (Of course, I wear them under my pants and not on-top like some riders do.) As for the online purchasing, I actually bought each pair from a different retailer. The service was good in both cases; I just went with the least expensive retailer. Hope it helps.

Never off My daughters feet - She's 14 and these were the only thing she asked for Christmas. And she is lovin' them! They are surprisingly lightweight. We have other Doc's 1/4 the height and twice the weight. They do run small as stated in other reviews. Our other Doc's are a 7 but in these she needed an 8. I have to say they are really cool looking and she says they are very comfortable. Of course Zappos made my holiday shopping a little easier. If this is your style ~ go for it!

NICE!!! Well what can I say? Well #1, buy a size bigger. I bought size 10 UK after trying DOCS of the same size and them fitting well. After receiving I found that they were too tight. #2, great boots. I’m a "goth" I guess and they are great looking. I might buy a pair in red if I get the money. #3, Zappos customer service is great. I got straight answers and the return policy is great. So if u don’t like the boots don’t hesitate to send um back. Well good luck. U will look brutal in these boots.

Cool boots, but not for the thick calved - I got these boots as a graduation present, and I picked this pair since I’ve always wanted a pair of knee high boots. Turns out my calves are too fat for them to lace up all the way and not look stupid (I tried lacing them up with longer laces, but the tongue was not wide enough and my leg showed through the sides... not very attractive). Otherwise I loved them. They fit really well in the foot and looked great. But I’m going to have to send them back, since they just don't work with my chunk-o calves. I guess knee high boots just aren't for me. The boots were ordered on Friday and I got them on Monday, so hooray for Zappos' speedy service! I’ll definitely consider ordering from Zappos again.

I have a pair of these boots from years ago, and I recently got a new pair from Zappos. I can't emphasize enough that you have to know what you're getting into to break these boots in, but if you give them the time and care they will serve you well for years and years. And there is no other copycat boot that can compare to the look and the quality of these Docs.
