Look good. Fit well. Bought to replace 15 year-old pair of similar shoes.

I was a bit apprehensive about the fit, the squeaking soles and the overall comfort, but that went right out the window once I got them! The trick for me was to wear them in the house one day of the weekend, and then by Monday they were broken in nice! They are fantastic in any weather, the soles are super grippy, and they are very comfortable to walk in for long distances. These shoes are definitely worth the money! I\'m a fan!

I picked these Dr. Martens out as a Christmas present. They are awesome! I wear a size 15 shoe and Zappos is the only place I can get shoes from. I made the right choice.

Brands I'd also recommend: I also received a pair of Vans, would recommend them also.

I\'ve been purchasing Doc Martens for years and these shoes are exactly what I\'ve come to expect: stylish, well made and comfortable. I have a pair very similar to these which I\'ve had for over 10 years and they still look and feel great. You may pay a little more but you get every penny and then some from their shoes. I highly recommend these!

They are huge. I wear a size 7½-8 and my feet were swooshing around in them. The size 8 shoes that I ordered felt like a 9. They are very cute, and solid shoes otherwise. Doc Martens are heavy, I suppose that is good for a workout for your legs.

I had to buy these shoes based on style. The fit kind of snug, but I'm sure that will manage itself out. I have a wide foot so I knew that would be an issue anyways.

These shoes are extremely wide and very heavy. If you want to look funky these are not the shoes for going out dancing.

These shoes get a lot of attention, but unfortunately my feet need some attention after wearing them! They\'re comfortable otherwise, but the opening is stiff, unpadded leather that digs into the skin above my feet. I wore them for a week straight to try and break them in but the leather just keeps digging!

I like the shoes a lot. They're a bit different, breaking the mold of the typical office shoe. They're comfortable to wear all day long. I like the trademark soft and rubbery sole of the shoe.

Be aware that Dr Martens are now made in China as opposed to England...like they were back in the days. My husband gets to rock a little of his punk rock style at work with this Docs since they're more work appropriate than the boots.

Speaking from my husband's point of view, he's in love with these shoes. We have been looking for a casual wing tip shoe for 2 years now. They are extremely well made & comfortable. True to size. Go for it, if its' what you're looking for.

I have had a pair of Doc Martens in the past, so I knew what size to get. These shoes are very stylish and durable. I work on my feet and my last pair lasted 1½ years. I still wear the original pair on the weekend. I chose this model for its style.

These are good shoes. None of that strange yellow stitching around the edge, chunky soles. Not much to the interior. I added a pair of orange Superfeet, and now the shoes seem perfect. Comfy, durable, handsome, what more could I want?

This shoe is the perfect blend of classy with its wingtip design and sturdy with all leather upper and rugged sole. It has a wider toe box than most wingtips that I have tried. The sole is a bit chunkier than I would prefer, but looks good with chinos and jeans. In my job as a high school teacher, I want to look professional, but also be comfortable. These needed very little time to break in [about 2 days]. I wear them just about everyday at work. They can really handle rain and snow too. Give the construction, probably the last pair of dress shoes I will need to buy. Thanks Dr. Martens and thank you Zappos.com.

In typical Doc Marten fashion, these shoes take a few days to break in and conform to your foot. Once they do, however, they are amazing. Much more style and appeal than standard Gibsons, and they are far more comfortable than any other longwing style shoe I could find. My entire footwear wardrobe has just been reduced to these, NB 990's, and Merrell hiking boots.

Love these shoes. Stylish and comfortable as all Dr Martens. I wear a size US 11. So - just a heads up to those with wide feet...these fit a bit more like a dress shoe than other Martens...so - they may be tighter than you would expect. If you wear a thicker sock and have a wider foot, then you may want to order a size wider than normal. Otherwise quality and comfort are superior to most others.

Brands I'd also recommend: Clarks

This is my third pair of Dr. Martens. About fifteen or twenty years ago I bought the black & white version of this model. And then about ten years ago I bought it in a brown (greasy?) finish. They were all comfortable right out of the box and still are. In between I've bought many other shoes from manufacturers like Mephisto, Allen-Edmonds, and Nike but none feels as good as this model. I'd buy more, but how many wingtips does anyone need?

They are just what I hoped for. Built like tanks, and full of style. The leather is high grade and stiff to begin, but with conditioner and clear wax they are the bomb. I get on average 6 people per day comment, all positively, on the style and flair. They feel like they will last 10 years, just like my other Docs.

Shoes are great! I love the look of them, and they are very comfortable. They look great with a pair of slacks or jeans! I'm very satisfied.

I'm a big Doc Marten's fan and actually were these shoes to the office. At eight years old, these are the oldest pair of shoes I own! I do a lot of walking and usually shoes just last a year. But these have defied the test of time and aside from needing a polish, still look brand new.

Love the shoes. Remember, they are stiff and will take some time to break in. The rim of the shoe rubs against the the protruding bone on the outside of my ankle. I am wearing a band aid at the rub spots until the shoes loosen.

This is my 4th pair of Dr. Martens shoes and I have to say this brand really lasts. However, for this pair of shoes, while style is still excellent, the quality is really not what it used to be. Outside they look great and well made but inside both shoes had insole lining that only went half way (only the back of the shoe covered). Inside the shoe, where the lining stopped, glue was visible all around the front of the shoes making them look unfinished. In addition, there was a big glob of glue inside one shoe. I am still keeping them but I would expect a lot better quality for the shoes that cost above $100. As for the fit, they run large, feel really roomy and require thicker sock. Would be excellent shoes for someone who needs wider and roomier fit.

5 stars for the upper. 1 star for the sole. I really liked these shoes, but after 1.5 years of wearing them the soles are worn smooth, and I cannot find anywhere to get a Dr Marten sole to replace them. The weld right at my arch blew out too. A cobbler near me will put a set of Vibrams on them, but I'm having a hard time justifying the $65 dollar cost. So comfort, fit, and look were fantastic, but I'm really disappointed in the sole. I have very flat feet, and these were very comfortable. If Dr. Marten had something in their "for life" line that I could wear to the office I'd be all over it.
