Shoe feels well constructed, sturdy and comfortable, even after 10 hour days. Non-slip sole works well.

Could a been better-- Once again, great service from Zappos. Not thrilled. However, with the shoes. I bought them for work (Food service). They look pretty nice. Not very comfortable. The big toe on my left foot seems to be hitting the shoe itself. It almost seems like I'm walking on an incline, or downhill slope. The balls of my feet don't feel too good after a day at work. It feels like there is not much between the balls of my feet and the ground. I ordered my regular size. Maybe I needed a half size bigger. If I had it to do over again, I would have returned them and tried something else. Still thrilled with Zappos!!! Not their fault. First try with Dickies shoes. Hesitant to try more.

Wonderful shoes - These are comfortable, sturdy shoes. Look really good! Highly recommended.

The shoe is very comfortable. The only issue is the small circular cleats on the bottom of the shoe tend to hold tiny stones and retain quite a bit of water even after wiping your feet. If you live in a cold climate, the snow sticks to these cleats causing you to slip on hard floors when coming in from outside. Otherwise, a good work shoe.

If you're working the FOH and looking for a reliable work shoe, this one is it. I've tried many slip-resistant shoes and this one beats them all. Of course, working in a restaurant means being on your feet hours on end so wear thick socks. Otherwise, these shoes are perfect. I can walk through a puddle of water and not worry about slipping, something my co-workers must worry about day in and day out for not wearing these shoes. Oh, and they look nice too.

Definately my favortie boots. It took me a while to break them in but they're very comfy.

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.

Leather Bear's right :) 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. :)

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.
