Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 1925

A Practical, Fashionable Shoe - My 1st pair of Docs, the most expensive shoes I've owned, and I regret neither. They feel good and look great. Felt slightly longer than marked, but the width is perfect (it may just be the reinforced toe). Wear thick socks while breaking them in - the unpadded collar will chafe your heel. And might as well pick up the Dr. Marten Wonder Balsam while you're at it, to protect the leather, which is nice.

1925 series DM's - My third pair in the last 15 yrs. Really glad Dr. Martens are still puttin this particular model out in the market. This and the 1919 model is the best. Quality wise though, it's gone down. Doesn’t look as sleek as the older 1925 models, the toe caps don’t seem as wide as they used to, but hey, to refuse it, I cannot...these shoes are way too cool, since yesterday, today and tomorrow. Purchasing it from Zappos was very prompt and pleasant. Excellent service.

I ordered these and had them the very next day. Right price, right shoe... just wish they were still made in the UK because the last pair I bought didn't hold up very well.

Fast shipping and worth the price. My last pair lasted me three years, not expensive at all when you do the math. Yes, they look a little like clown shoes, but I got used to it and am on my third set now. I wear them to work and even dancing - I wear slacks or jeans, so it works. I love the steel toe because it does not get wrinkled over time. I had to replace my last pair as the sole and leather were getting cracked. The sole was starting to come off and the stitching was coming out - a bit disappointing, but I guess that’s what happens when you wear the same pair of shoes every single day. It does take awhile to get used to a new pair, but once they are broken in, I just leave them tied all the time and slip them on when I am ready to go. I've tried other Docs, but these are the most comfortable and my most favorite. My mother hates my shoes. She says they look too masculine, but my husband thinks they look good on me and I like what I like. I'm sticking with these Docs.

I've had many pairs of Docs and these are a little tighter than usually marked but are still great shoes. Will work in quickly but are stiff out of the box.

Dr. Martens 1925 Series - I bought these for my Husband and He ABSOLUTELY LOVES them! He says "They're COMFORTABLE and DURABLE yet very STYLISH..." HOPEFULLY the MORE GREAT shoes I get for him, the MORE he'll understand and "allow" my own "shoe f‏etish" !!!!! ;) (HERE'S HOPING...lol) ANYWAYS! I have a few pairs of DR. Martens myself and MANY, MANY years later, they STILL look new and are STILL super comfortable! You JUST CAN'T GO WRONG with DOCs, No matter what you want to use them for (style/work/etc.)!

Doc Martens last a long time! Awesome shoes. They’ll never fall apart or wear a hole! My last pair of green 7 eye boots lasted until I outgrew them. Well worth the money and leather too!

How Do You Do It? Ok, the shoes are fantastic. I had to wear two pairs of socks for a week to break them in, but they really are great. The think that is amazing to me is that I ordered them at 7PM on a Thursday night. On 3:45PM the next day, my doorbell rings and it's MY SHOES! Less than 24 hours later you get them to me. What's up with that! How do you do that? Simply amazing service and you have a customer for life with service like that. Truly rare in this day and age. Kudos!

A Great Pair of Shoes - When I was much younger I wore DM's as they seemed to be the only shoe that I wouldn't destroy in the span of a couple of months, plus they're quite comfy. Now that I am much older, I unfortunately do the same to my 'business casual' shoes. I finally got the bright idea to go back and find a pair of DM's. The 1925's fit the bill perfectly. A very classic look and extremely comfortable. I was concerned buying online, but Zappos made it much easier knowing I could return. The shoes arrived and after about 2 days of break in (with only some mild chafing around the lower outside of my ankle) the shoes were beautifully broken in and are SUPER comfortable (much more so than ANY of the shoes I've been wearing lately, such as the Kenneth Cole's, etc). These shoes are an exceptional value and should hold up for a good, long time!

6 Eye steel toe Doc Martens; black! These are the best shoes! Docs last for years and years! They are leather! They’ll never fall apart or wear a hole in the bottom! My second pair! My last were 7 Eye steel toe, green! The only reason I needed new 1’s was that I outgrew them! It took me a whole year just to break them in! I’ll never wear anything else other than Doc Martens! Comfortable too!

A truly awesome shoe. The fit is perfect and the look is classic. Look no further, truly a second to none.

I bought these because I was looking for a reliable and comfortable pair of shoes with good abrasion resistance (my severe foot drop makes me a Professional Shoe Destroyer). These definitely qualify--normally after a day of walking around at my job in a pair of new shoes I have at least worn out the toe a bit, but this pair definitely shows signs of lasting a good while! The only drawbacks these shoes have is that they are HEAVY compared to other, similarly-styled shoes I have worn--I won't be winning any footraces any time soon--and, like was mentioned in a previous review, that unpadded collar *can* chafe if you wear thin socks. Stylewise, they're okay: a bit clunky - not dainty by any stretch - kind of how you'd typically think men's shoes are styled.

First I have to say, you guys are awesome! My boyfriend wanted to get these shoes for his brother's birthday. His brother was about to turn 33 and wanted to relive his youth, so he bought tickets to a BUSH concert and requested Doc Martens for his birthday. To make it even more fun, this was all done days before his birthday/concert. I was tasked by my boyfriend to find the shoes and "Please get them here by the concert." Well, you guys came through! I placed the order and chose the fastest delivery method possible, and there they were! They arrived the day of the concert at 3:00 PM. He got his Doc Martens, and left for the concert at 5:00 PM.

Classic Dr. Martens style. Comfortable, leather, good support. Great Zappos processing and delivery!

I have worn this pair of docs every day, for the past 5 years, for up to 8 hours. They are as comfy as can be. Gotta be those bouncin' soles! Only recently has the stitching started to pop, and the sole come off the shoe. I recommend these to people on a daily basis.

Look no further!!! Best Dr. Martens shoe ever! A year ago I decided it was time to let loose of my Dr. Marten's collection (yes, I am aware that it was a big mistake), some being 20 years old. This is the only new pair out of five recently purchased that felt true straight out of the box. As I have aged my feet have become wider. I also suffer from hammer-toe. No problems with this shoe. Many complain about the new made in China versions. I also purchased a pair of vintage made in the UK ten holes and must say these are better. Complaints of inferior leather are ridiculous to me. While the leather appears to be the same "thickness", the new model is softer and immediately forms to the foot. If you have problems finding classic shoes because of a wide foot or suffer from hammer-toe, BUY THESE SHOES. I also cannot say enough about ZAPPOS. All five recently purchased pairs came from ZAPPOS. Lightning fast-free-next day delivery and the ultimate in costumer service. VIVA ZAPPOS!

Back to Docs - Haven't worn a pair of Docs since I was a teenager, but got these based on looks and reviews here. I am not disappointed. I wear a size 13, and most shoes look ridiculous at that scale - these are perfect. Plus, I ordered on a Saturday afternoon and got them on Monday morning FOR FREE...can't beat that!

Classics never die - Some people say that these shoes are "clownish", but I disagree. I like a shoe that has a larger toe. Smaller, or pointed toes make my feet look ridiculous. I LOVE the look of these shoes. They're old school Dr. Martens, which means... you HAVE to wear them in. They aren't going to feel great day one, but give them a couple weeks and stick it out, and they will be some of the most comfortable shoes you've ever worn. If you're a half size, go up a size and get a good insole to make up the difference. Works like a charm.

Great Shoe!!!! I bought these shoes for my boyfriend (very peaky). He LOVES them. He said they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had. The first weekend he had them we went away to New York for the weekend - -a lot of walking - - he said they were very comfortable - no problems breaking them in. Everyone keeps giving he compliments on how great they look.

ZAPPOS does the BEST JOB getting you the best shoes the fastest. But these new Dr. Martens aren't what they used to be when the company was smaller. They just don’t hold up like they used to, For the record the old soles were way better.

This is a great shoe, and it's the most comfortable of its kind. It's not quite as comfortable as I remember from my youth, but still more than other, similar shoes. Another thing I noticed, and this may contribute to slight decline in comfort, was that the shoes don't bounce anymore. They used to bounce like a rubber ball, when dropped on the soles of the heel or toe. Even with that, I would still buy another pair as soon as these wear out! They are the best!

Great shoes - My husband has to wear steel toe shoes. This will be his third pair of these. They last forever and ever and the only thing I have to replace is the laces. One pair last him up to 2 years, no joking!! He wears them 6 days a week. Great product. Highly recommended.

Great shoes with only one problem... These shoes will DESTROY your feet for the first two weeks of wear. After that, these shoes are perfect (like all Docs). Great look, perfect for work and play. Tip: Wear band-aids on the back of your heels to add padding (and keep a comfy pair of shoes to wear during the break-in period)

Dr Martens- Great shoes. These will replace the ones I purchased over 10 years ago that are still holding up. Durable and comfortable.

Classic Docs - I have been wearing Docs since 1992 so I was pretty surprised when I ordered my usual size and the shoe was HUGE. I had to send them back and get a size smaller. The new size fits great though. The leather looks kinda cheap too. I hope this is because they are new. I hope this cheap look wears out and they begin to look like good ole fashioned Docs.
