Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1914 W

Love 'em! It's a commitment to lace these up but they are the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn. I bought them for the tread thinking they'd be good on ice and they are... and good on snow and very comfortable. Love the red color too.

Awesome! Love them! They are classic! I found the reviews below so helpful, and I would like to add two things. First, if you wear a half size, I recommend moving down to the previous whole size. I normally wear 6.5, yet ordered UK4/US6 and it fits me so well. I can still tuck in my skinny jeans, too. Second, if these are your first Dr. Martens pair, I recommend getting Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam as well. You can get it here at Zappos. I had to order them separately, and what was truly amazing about Zappos was that it offered free shipping to little-shoe-polish! Thanks you, Zappos! I always enjoy shopping here :)

I recommend you grab some - I love them! I can't wait to break in my martens more. The tongue is kind of annoying, but if you tie them tight enough it stays. They don't allow so much movement (they might once broken in). I kind of feel like I'm marching when I walk in them, but I love them. I can't wait for the rain and snow to wear them more.

Classic! These boots are classic! I wanted them back in high school and college but was too poor to afford them. After forgetting about them over the last decade, I finally got myself a pair of Docs, and I love them! Unfortunately, I had to get them elsewhere and pay more, because I really wanted the cherry red ones, and Zappos didn't have them. :( I still love Zappos, though, and I like the black ones too, as they are more versatile... If only I can afford to buy both! I am a 10N in women’s shoes, so the unisex Docs were way too wide for me. The UK8 1914W fits me nicely, as long as I lace them tight. I've got some extra room for my toes, but that's fine. Breaking them in wasn't too bad. The key is to lace them nice and tight, so they conform to your ankles. Otherwise, they fold and dig in. Oh yeah, and the Wonder Balsam helps soften the leather too.

Glad I bought them - I bought these boots for my teenage daughter after she saw them on the Doc Martens website. No retailer in our area carried them, and she desperately wanted to try them on. So after finding Zappos easy return policy, we ordered them. She hasn't worn any other shoes since! She feels like a rock star in them, loves the way they feel, and gets compliments.

Docs - Though Docs do need to be broken in, once they do, they wrap around the foot with softness, as well as protects with sturdiness.

Doc Marten boots - I love my Doc Marten boots. The fit is good and I can stand or walk for hours without my feet hurting. The only flaw is the tongue is not attached to the side of the boot, so it readily slips to one side. This isn't particularly uncomfortable, but it's an annoyance.
