Great shoes, great price, super fast shipping! My son saw this shoe in a store and didn't like the color of the display, but the salesperson dropped the ball and we left the store with a sad kid and no shoes! Zappos had the color and the size we wanted and needed. I ordered them at bedtime one night and they were on our front porch when we got home from work and school THE NEXT DAY! My son was positively ECSTATIC! Thanks for helping me achieve Rock Star status in my house!

Great shoes! I purchased these for my 9 year old son. He loves them and says they're comfortable. They are also a great looking shoe.

I bought these for my son last summer. He has worn them all year to school and they still look just terrific. He says they are very comfy. I will certainly look at buying another pair of North Face shoes when he outgrows them!

Good Sneaker - My 12 year old son finds them comfortable and likes them. My son wears inserts due to arch problems, so we do not rely on the arch support in the sneaker. Kids sneakers don't seem to come with arch support anyway. When I felt inside, it seemed like there was some arch support, but he still needs the prescribed inserts. It's a good looking sneaker.

Good looking shoe. My son loves the colors. It is a breathable shoe for summer weather. Has already held up through scout camp and falling in a river. Nice tread. Only complaint is shoelaces are difficult to keep tied; the smooth, round laces slip apart easily.

Great shoes! Didn't like the color. I ordered the khaki/habanero shoes for myself; I wear a women's size 5.5 and can usually fit into a Youth's size 3.5. I ordered a size 3.5 and a size 4. The size 4's fit just right, so I would say order a 1/2 size larger than your usual size. The photograph of the khaki/habanero shoes appears a few shades darker than the shoes actually are, which is more of a fleshy/melony combination, and not as attractive as they appear in the photo. I used Zappos' VIP service and the shoes were delivered within hours of the time I placed my order, and it will be no hassle for me to return them.

Theses are REALLY slick looking! I love these. This just happens to be one of my favorite Doc styles! If you're looking for extreme comfort, then Docs aren't for you (unless you buy insoles).

For the office or the shop, the prom or a mosh pit. These shoes may be a little stiff at first, but that's because they're not made of cheap leather and have a rigid structure. After about two weeks, they'll be broken in and will give you all the space and support you need. The steel toe helps to keep them looking great, and can come in handy in a tough situation.

Not a safety shoe; not enough support mid-sole. I've been wearing mine about six or eight months now. Not long after getting them, I realized that they weren't really great for working on your feet on concrete all day. They're great for walking, office stuff, etc., but not if you work on your feet. The soles are too flexible. The uppers stretched out pretty quick and insoles bought me a few more months. I'll be going back to CATs for work.

1925 Style Dr. Martens. Dr. Martens are fantastic shoes. In a manufacturing environment they are truly non-slip safety shoes. This is the major down fall of most shoes out there. On top of that they are very comfortable and good wearing shoes.

Best safety shoes ever. I’ve been wearing these shoes for 2 years. I was looking for a new pair, and can't find them in Ontario, Canada at the moment. I had mine refurbished and they look like new although I still want another pair.

Doc's going on six years. I bought a pair of 1925 Doc's at the Camdon Town Street Market, London, England in 1996. I still have the same pair today and wouldn't trade them for any other shoe. They are versitle and allow the comfort and support that I need for my jobs: teaching high school and waiting tables. Both jobs require long hours on my feet and the DM's give me the right amount of stability so my feet do not ache overly at the end of the day.

Slightly umcomfortable Working in retail I'm constantly on my feet. I originally had an older pair of doc's which I was very happy with. Stepping up the notch from my original pair I went with these cause of the steel feature for extra ruggedness. The shoes look fantastic, however tended to hurt my heels and all around feet. I now only wear these for when I go out, opposed to everyday work. If you're looking for something more comfortable i suggest you get the 1A08 series shoes.

Awesome shoes! Rub a little neatsfoot oil on the inside of the heel if it hurts your foot.

I've worn Doc Martens all my life. I was born with ankle problems and wore the 10 hole boot's all my childhood. My ankle's are fine now but I still wear the steal toe shoes every day to work. On greasy oily floors they are awsome. Truly a non-slip shoe. The hiking style tread type proved to become a little hard on the feet after wear, but the regular original sole is still a great wearing shoe. Don't be put off by the initial tightness, without this there would not be any support once broken in. Then they fit like a catcher's glove.

Awesome Shoes! I bought these Chery Red babies almost two years ago. They're my 21st pair of Docs since 1987. I wear them almost every day. I don't take very good care of my shoes, so I need a new pair!
