10 hole all the way. My alltime favourite Doc boot. I have worn DMs for years now, but always come back to the black ten hole boot. Stylish, whatever you wear, wherever you go, if you're on your feet all day, Doc's do the job. If I had to give one piece of advice to anyone it would be, "Buy a pair of Doc Boots" You will not be disappointed.

The best boot ever!! I've had my Doc ten eyes for almost nine years now. I picked them up while in Europe while in the military, and they've been my all-purpose footwear. They're still in great shape, and have only gotten more comfortable as the years have rolled along. These shoes have endured countless miles of travel, and show no sign of giving up. If you do not own a pair, you have no idea what you are missing.

I am 50+ and Docs are not just for the young!!!!!! I bought mine when I was driving Big Rigs with my husband and could not find a good work boot small enough.(4.5 boys) I have had mine now for about 8 or 9 years and they still look great.

Disappointed. Over all, Doc's are by far the best deal out there. But I was disappointed that they didn't even last 18 months. Which is about twice as long as most other boots have lasted me. After wearing the soles near flat, they formed cracks and the leather insole started ripping appart.

Best footwear ever - I've owned a set of these for years. -No question, everyday use for years, and they're the best boots I've ever owned.

Another great pair - Just got a pair of new Docs days ago, and this being my upteenth pair in about 14 years. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a good pair of Docs. I've been reading some reviews where people balked at how long the break-in time is. Lemme tell a little secret folks, it's called mink oil. 8/10/14 eye, all great all recommended. Also want to give "kudos" to Zappos for making transactions the easiest one could hope for. thanks.

Doc Martens 10 eye boots are the best I have ever had - I bought my first pair of Docs about 20 years ago when I was 15. I have worn Docs ever since: 8 eye, 10 eye and 14 eye. Of all of them I find the 10 eye the most comfortable. They take a little breaking in. After that it is incredible hard wearing comfort. The soles seem to mould to your feet. They also look great. I don't wear anything else

Doc's Rule - I have bought nothing but Doc's for the last 12 years now. I'd have to say the best of the bunch would have to be 10's with 8's coming in a close 2nd. I'd rather walk bare foot when wear anything elsa.
