Hey -
Did I get different boots from all the other reviewers? These are my 6th pair of Docs boots in 12 years (11th pair of Docs total), and I couldn't be much more disappointed. This awful leather is like plastic and isn't breaking in without cracking (and I know my stuff about boots.) If these weren't such totally hot, wicked kicks I would have returned them. The construction is great, just like all Dr Martens, but this leather is miserable. I finally took fine sandpaper to them and sanded the plastic coating off the leather (which crumbled off in white flakes) to get down to the real leather where they can absorb some conditioners, soften up, and hopefully break in. I want a pair of these boots in the grizzly or greasy finish instead of this stiff shiny plastic coating that these had.

Working Out -
My shoes are super cool and everyone compliments me all the time. It sucks to lace them up cause it takes forever, but kinda worth it once you get them. They were a little big too which sucked cause I didn't wanna send them back cause it would take so long. But overall I really like them and they're hot stuff.

A CLASSIC! 20 Hole Doc Martens-The Little Black Dress -
Always assured of comfort, style and versatility, these boots were made for walkin! I just returned from NYC, where I, along with 700,000 Marched agains the RNC. These boots provided me a comfortable walk, (M)arch support and I got a lot of compliments from New York's Finest. These are boots for any occasion, even airport security!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: the 14-Hole, 8-Hole, or the sandle. My husband loved his DM sandles.

Tough, rugged, kick a** boots.
I love these boots, especially the ritual of lacing the 20 eyelets! I've had them for about two years, took a little while to break them in, they were a bit stiff at first, but I never got any blisters from them. Highly recommended.

Comfortable Boot for the Hard Core -
I have been breaking this boot in slowly for about three weeks now and they feel great. Right out of the box, the fit was very good, although I recommend wearing thick boot socks with them, such as the calf-high Thorlo's. I also recommend a good leather conditioner followed by a preservative once a week for the first three or four weeks. The leather is very stiff and may pinch a bit 'til they're worn in. Other than that, I still get looks and compliments from co-workers. Go for it!

The Best Shoe on the Planet -
I have to say this is the best shoe ever. I bought my first pair of Doc's when I was in high school and have been hooked ever since. I got into the 20 eyes when I was going through my goth phase. I'm over that, but they come handy working in security. My first 20 eyes were ruined due to snow and rain because I didn't weather treat them. I'm ordering these and they will be treated.
Overall the shoe is fantastic, but breaking the shoe in is torture. My heels were suffering big time. But once you break them in you won't want to wear any other shoe in your closet.

The laces could be longer and it would be nice if they came in an extra wide, but overall I'm very pleased with them.

The best money can buy -
This boot is just about the top of it's kind, the tallest, best leather, boot Dr. M's makes. Hard to break in at first, but years of wear are ahead of you. I bought these for my husband to ride his motorcycle because they come up high enough to protect the lower leg from burns, road debris, and other probable nasties. Suitable for men because it features the orginal tread pattern, without the X's or the high heel.

Hot boots for hot people -
These boots are great looking, fun to wear. Turn a ton of heads. I wear them to the office, and them out clubing at night. They look good with jeans, or shorts. They are just great boots.

Tight laced -
I have worn Doc Martens boots from being a young boy, about age 5. They were ankle boots. It all started because I used to kick off shoes so my parents put me in Doc marten boots which couldn't be kicked off. I think my parents liked to see me in boots and from that first pair I was not allowed any other footwear other than Doc martens boots. As I got older my parents brought new boots which gradually got higher up the leg and tighter laced. I did have one pair of trainers that I wore for games at school, but apart from these I was booted all the time. By the age of 11 I was in ten eyelet Docs which I had to lace tight to the top eyelets. I always had two pairs, one pair for school and play and the other for best. I then progressed to 14 eyelet boots by the age of 12. On outgrowing these just turning 13 years old, a teenager. My parents purcased the9663 series with the 20 eyelet high fastening. These felt really strange at first the feeling of my legs being encased to just below the knees and I was still made to tight lace them to the very tops. At first I found it difficult to walk as they were very stiff but now they are very comfortable. I wear them all the time, even on holidays, not having any other footwear.

I own the predisesor to this boot, the 1962. I've had them for 5 years now, since then I've come to love Doc's and the long period it takes to break them in. You'd have to own these boots to understand what people mean when they speak of them.
I now have 9 pairs (2-14eye, 1-8eye, 2-20eye, 4-4eye). So take it from me, these boots last FOREVER!

Great shoes if you have the right size!
I thought that a size 8 would fit me because some of my shoes are 8.5 (I recently bought a pair of size 9 tennis shoes though). At first I thought they fit but then I walked in them more and in the back of the boot the leather kept poking my ankle. I thought I'd get used to it and I had to break them in but it's just ridiculous. They gave me blisters so I guess I needed the size 9! Now I am trying to sell my size 8 so I can buy a size 9.

For the DOC connoisseur-
Overall these boots rock!! However, I have extremeley small ankles, so to lace these regular is impossible. I had to ladder lace them to get them on without completeley unlacing them. Now, if I could just fine red round laces long enough.

Kick A** Boots that look great too!!
I've now purchased my third pair of these and will buy another when needed. They are kick a**, look good, and (believe it or not) go with almost anything! I work conservative during the week, and then either "leather" or "punk it" (or a combination) when not on the job. Never had a transition problem. Well worth it. I'd suggest the 14 eyelets if you aren't sure about the 20's.

I sell shoes, and the best way to keeping your leather looking and feeling its best is to give it some leather lube. Its kinda like skin, give it some lotion to keep it from drying out. :)

I have the previous version of these 20-eyes, the 1420Z, replaced by the 9663, and it has a little "bulge" thing in the back of the boot just above the ankle. Makes it easier to take the boot on and off because your heel can go right through it with ease, without lacing and unlacing every time. Don't know if these 9663's have it though.
All that aside, Dr. Martens are a great investment. I wear them with casual skirts to show off the 20 eyelets and go toward the "punk" side of my wardrobe; I wear them with pants to be more conservative. I work in I.T. at a small college, and I'm often walking all over the place or carrying heavy monitors or printers. I had never known stability or shock absorption until I had to carry heavy things with these Docs on my feet, and I was instantly in love.
