Work-boot nirvana?
I had high expectations of this boot. I have a slightly wide, big foot (13w or 14), with fairly high arches (can you say hard to fit?). I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Martens, so I decided to give these size 14
boots a try after my work
sneakers failed miserably.
I wear these guys all day every day of the work week. The width is just bairly adequate for my foot, while the length is a bit much. The extra width combined with the
steel toe almost gives these
boots the "clown shoe" look (I said almost). I had to get a Dr. Scholl's work boot insert to get the
arch support right. Cushioning is adequate, not quite what I expected from the descriptions of their "World Famous air cushioned sole." As far as the style goes (as if you would be concerned about style in a
steel toe!), my uber-cool buddy's exact quote upon seeing these
boots was "Wow... these are beautiful!" Whatever, man.
