Teva - I wore this shoe/sandal for the first time and it was very comfortable. However, I think if I were to wear it for hiking, I would probably wear some socks too. The only thing I thought that might be improved is the kind of chunky look that it has but I can live with it. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who needs an outdoor athletic foot wear.

Very comfortable and cool - I brought this shoe to wear on vacation. I am wearing them ahead of time and can already tell that I am going to really enjoy the comfort they will provide.

Great for Indoors and Outdoors - I needed these for an up coming trip to Vegas. Since the heat and intense 24/7 walking on sidewalks and in the Desert. But I think I will also use them instead of house slippers. Soon as I tried them on I felt like getting active. Really cool lookingl; not goofy or chunky. Matches jeans well.

Odd toe box - Comfortable but very wide and angular at the toebox. Also some slippage at the heel, but that could just be due to my weird feet.

Best in class - I have a few pair of this type from other brands, and this is by far the best. I have a wide enough foot that I usually end up in men's shoes, but I tried the women's for the color, and I have more toe room than in some of the men's shoes I own. Very comfortable, and very good looking shoe, with or without socks. No cloth footbed to get soggy, either.

Super comfortable! This is my first pair of Teva’s and I love them. I wore them to the pool today and didn't want to take them off. Nice and roomy (I'm a 10.5 but the 10s fit great), good arch support and well made. I got them to wear during my holiday to Maui and think they'll be perfect.

Great shoe for everything! This is a great shoe to have when you don't know what your plans will turn out to be -- comfort is outstanding! They fit similar to the Teva Terra-fi, so I had to exchange the 9.5 for a 9. In the Dozer, I wear a 9.5. I would like it if they were just a little narrower in the toes, if only for looks. The antimicrobial properties are very effective, and they were smell-free after a day of hiking in the heat. There is enough arch support that I do not need to wear my inserts.

Cushiony Plus - Walk a lot in summer on wood chips working with little kids so regular sandals are a pain so I decided to try these. I was glad I did, they are comfortable -- it's like walking on air. I get the cooling feel of a sandal but still have the toe and heel coverage I need. Loved them so much I just bought another color.

Excellent shoe - I got this shoe for riding my bike in the summer so I could have the toe protection of a shoe + the ventilation of a sandal (not to mention the option of ditching the bike & jumping into Lake Michigan if I feel like it). I'd tried something similar from Keen & they were really heavy, uncomfortable, clunky, blister-inducing & promptly returned the next day. These Teva's are way better. They're light weight & the sole seems sturdy enough for the recreational & commuter biking I do. I also like all of the adjustments that can be made to get a personal fit. The quick release is excellent (so you don't have to make adjustments over & over again) & I love that the pull string in the front can be secured beneath the velcro strap (definite plus for biking). Not only is this a much better shoe than a similar Keen, it's cheaper too.

Great shoes, wet or dry weather. Keep your feet cool and comfortable. Easy on and off.

Awesome shoes, awesome service - These shoes are an excellent choice for work as well as casual wear. For casual wear they're basically indestructable. My feet are fully protected and the fit is just right. I couldn't find these shoes anywhere in stock on the net. A local industrial safety supplier could order them, but at a six week wait! Zappos had them in stock and even with free ecomomy shipping, they were here in Hawaii in under a week.

Must have got a bad pair... The boots I have now were purchased less than a year ago. The whole sole, where they are stitched, is completely gone on one boot. I've owned 5 pairs of Dr. Marten boots. The last pair was the only one that did not last. I would hope that the company would consider replacing the boots.

Great pair of boots - This is the best pair of boots I ever ever owned. I work as a paramedic and these boot hold under a lot of different environmental issues. Will buy another!

Good boot for motorcycling - Bought this for riding because it has ankle protection and a steel toe. VERY comfortable even riding a BMW R75 in the summer. Grips oily/goopy ground quite well and has lasted for a lot of walking and riding Only drawback is the leather cannot be polished or cleaned very well. Scratches and scuffs show quite well. The shifter on an Aprilla Tuono shredded the toe of my left boot.

Disappointed by defect - I bought a pair in may. In less than three months of minimal wear, due to weather conditions on drilling rig locations the sole has seperated from the shoe. I love my boots! Most comfortable pair of workboots ever owned. Retailer is replacing the shoe but I've waited for 2 months because of backorder problems. I just wish they were a little more punctual replacing a defective shoe.

Great boots! I bought these in a UK 6, and they seem to be about an 8 1/2. It took me a minute to get them on, but once on they felt very comfortable. They feel true to width, and I still have some toe room (my feet are an 8). They look great, too!

Best work boot I've worn - and I've been working for 35 years. Just ordered a pair for my son for his birthday, can't keep him from borrowing mine. This boot is supremely comfortable, and the ankle padding is not only thick and functional but adds a heavy look to the boot without really being heavy. The boot fits about 1/2 to 1 size larger than advertised: I wear a 9 1/2 or 10 and the US size 9 fit me snugly and comfortably. Buy snug in a slip on boot because the absence of laces can make stretching a problem. The only drawback to the boot is that the finish scratches and shreds fairly easily, so if you want it to double as an everyday boot you'll have to put up with permanent blemishes. In a work boot, to me, that is a non issue. Great looking, great fit, great boot. Buy the Dr Marten Balsam to keep them treated, and you'll enjoy them for a long while.

Welders delight - This boot was for my husband who is a welder. Most steel toed boots with laces burn up. So he needed a slip on. He loved the boot but thought the sole was too soft and did melt some what. He did comment that he wished that Doc Martens made more slip-ons to choose from.

PERFECT FIT. VERY COMFORTABLE FROM DAY ONE - These boots are "the BOMB". A Perfect fit, and comfortable from the first day. Why didn't buy these boots before? I was looking for something with the steel toes, and I found the best boots I've ever had. I even wear them on my days off. Worth every penny I paid for them. And Zappos sent them to me pretty fast too. It only took 2 days, from the day I ordered them, but UPS screwed up, and I had to go pick them up at the UPS warehouse. I will buy another pair just like them.

I've only had these boots for two weeks now, but so far I love them! they have been very comfotable since day one,and they look great. this is my 5th pair of Docs, and if these hold up as well as the others I will definitely buy another pair. I'll also make sure to get them from Zappos because it only took one day to get my boots!! I'm a zappos customer for life.
