The Best Shoes. I love these shoes! I (babysat) this little monster for three days and got $125 for it, but it was worth it. The only problem is finding shoe polish for it.

Wow! I love the look of these shoes and the comments I get when I wear them. Unfortunately, the soles have cracked on mine after 1.5 years of wear. They're great, though, and I consider them to last a long time even with constant wear.

No half sizes! My shoe size is 10 1/2 so I puchased a size 11. I have to wear two pairs of socks and they still don't really fit! Plus, they make my feet sweat all day long. Although they feel okay for awhile, after a couple hours standing, my feet start to ache. If you normally take half sizes I'd pass on Doc's!

Kick A** Shoes! I recently got a pair of these boots, in Navy Smooth. I LOVE them! Although, working them in is a little rough on your feet (I type this while looking at the blood on my socks). I'd say that once they're all worked in, they'll be great boots that are really comfortable! It's worth the money!

I got these boots from a friend of mine that had them for 7 years but seldom wore them. I’ve worn them everyday for a year now, and they feel great. If you get Docs, they will probably outlast your car. Nothing beats Docs and nothing outlasts them. The soles are a little bald but I still wear ‘em and after a year of wear, they have molded to my foot perfectly, making them the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. Docs are a great investment.

GOOD SHOES. I bought the 1460Z series boots with the added tread on the sole, and they're great. I wore them non-stop for almost two years, and only now are the uppers starting to wear out.

These boots are a vital organ. I inherited a pair of 1460s in purple back in the early 90s, and they were already about 5 years old. I wear them still, nearly every day. They have been all over Europe and the United States with me, and the tread is BALD, but it keeps the dogpoo from sticking when I walk in the park. The upper just split this morning, so I am ordering a new pair, in RED!

Even better than I imagined! I just bought my first pair of Doc Martens & I'll probably never go back. These shoes are awesome! This is my first day wearing them. I've been on my feet all day. My feet feel just fine & I've yet to de-virginize these shoes. They are quite comfortable actually & they look hella cool. I would normally wear half-sizes. I had to go up to size ten & they fit perfectly. I don't know how your feet will feel in these shoes, but mine are in heaven! Thank you Zappos for your fast & friendly service. I will definately be returning...

I had my first pair of Doc's when I was 13, they were not really worn by women then, but within a year or two had become really popular. They were really cheap about £20. These boots went with me everywhere, when they became a bit tatty they were painted. They lasted me 7 years, that is 7 years of being worn every day!!! My 2nd pair lasted a little longer 10yrs, but I wasn't riding a motorcycle in these, so weren't dragged along the floor!! When this 2nd pair finally gave up the ghost I decided to go for something different, I bought a pair of CAT boots. They are not the same; I do not have the kind of relationship with these boots as I did my Docs. I am now looking for another pair of docs but the prices in the UK are very high, although when you think about the amount of time they last I suppose it is worth it but as a student it is a little beyond my budget!! That’s why I am now looking at Zappos.com, the prices are a lot cheaper than here in the UK and hopefully when I have saved up enough money the service that zappos.com offer will be as welcoming as their prices!!

Wow, talk about comfort! I've tried them all, Ecco, Rockport, Mephisto and nothing can compare. The shoe has a removable insole with 3 different colors and a shock absorber under the heel you can see through a little window. I also have the Noval, which is a little dressier. Try them they'll be the only shoes you'll wear. I also have bought them in different colors.

Great Dress Shoe, Right Out of the Box! Perfect fit and great comfort right out of the box. A real class act. The inside top of the shoe is lined with soft leather or leather-like material that prevents chaffing. I've worn out lots of shoes over the last 64 years, and the Florsheim Noble promises to be one of the best dress shoes I've ever owned.

Awfully comfortable shoes. I've searched for comfortable shoes forever and nothing compares to this shoe. I've had my first pair for three years now thanks to a gift from a relative (purchased in New York City), it`s still my favorite shoe. 100% recommended, if comfort is what you're looking for.

Great pair of shoes - I've owned a pair of these shoes for 5 years. They're, by far, the best pair of shoes I've ever worn for use with my uniform (airline pilot). After a long day they're just as comfortable as when I put them on in the morning. Plus, they do not have a steel shank which makes it easier for me to pass through airport security these days... a big selling point with me and my colleagues. I'll always buy these shoes as long as Florsheim makes them.

Car salesman in love with these shoes - On the hot pavement in summer .....and all the rest of the year....these are great shoes. I've worn out three pairs in 5 years. I put them through hell. Buy these shoes for comfort and wearability.

Retail store manager - I first bought two pairs about three years ago and they've been just what the salesman said they where -really comfortable. I'm on my feet all day long and I no longer have tired feet or legs at the end of the day. I tell everyone that I work with who complains about tired feet or hurting legs to buy a pair of these shoes.

Great Shoes - If you are looking for a durable, comfortable pair of dress shoes that you can wear all day without pain or fatigue, then get the Florsheim Comfortech Noble. I go all day, everyday and these shoes have lasted 3 solid years. They aren't the fanciest shoes out there. I see a lot of my coworkers in better looking shoes. But let's see them play basketball in their's. I CAN and HAVE!
