Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8312

Look and feel great! I had to finally retire my old Docs after having them for almost 10 years! I expect nothing less from these, and so far they have delivered. They are comfortable AND I love the look. A must have for your casual wardrobe.

Purchased for daughter who is a chef - My 20 year old daughter thought these shoes were great the second she opened them on Christmas! She wore them several days before returning to culinary school and pronounced them as emminently comfortable! The styling was also much to her satisfaction. She can't wait to try them out on the kitchen floors at school. She now has 6 pairs of Doc Marten's, but this is the only pair that will work for her while working. She and I are both Doc Marten lovers. I wish I had bought a pair of these for myself, as I, too, liked the sytling. They are a bit heavy, but one is used to that if you have been wearing Docs.

A good all around shoe - Goes well with jeans, very sturdy.

Thanks Zappos for great customer service. Time is of the essence, especially during the Holiday Season. Trying to find these Doc's locally in the size I needed for my son's gift was a task. So I went online and found Zappos. You had the selection and the customer service and follow up is great!I have referred many to your site due to your selection and customer service!

Good Shoe... When you look at the smaller thumbnail of this picture, it seems to look as if the toe is a lighter brown than the rest of the shoe. However, the whole shoe is the darker part, at least on behalf of the medium brown color.

They're Grrrreat! When we received our Dr. Marten's they were not true to size at all. We had to send them back and get a size smaller on both pairs. Now that we have the right size, WE LOVE THEM! The price is awesome and we love the style.

Dr. Martens's 8312 Series - Excellent on all fronts. One of the most comfortable and stylish shoes I've ever owned.

5th Pair of Dr Marten's, There GREAT! Very comfortable, will outlast any shoe out there. Try them once and you'll stick with them for a very long time, I guarantee it!

Great Shoe - I bought these shoes for my daughter, she loved them. Very comfortable and great looking shoe, would highly recommend them.

Great shoes - They go with everything, their only drwback is they are a little heavy.

In the work that i do the shoes allow me to not slip when there is greese and water on the floor.

Good Shoes - I have honestly had these shoes for 4 years and have worn them everyday. I bought some other kinds but don't wear them, these are the best. After about 3 years the stitching came undone near the toe, but I don't care they still look new, can't beat 'em.

good shoe - good color, good fit, good shoe!

I love Dr. Martens - In January 2004, I will have had this shoe for 2 years. You would not know by looking at them. I wear them EVERY day to work. I work on concrete floors and am standing 6 to 7 hours. There is very little tread wear. The initial break-in time was about a week but it is worth it! I just purchased two more pair of Dr. Martens because of the comfort and duribility of these shoes.

First Doc's not what I expected, but good - Good shoes, good look, a little big though.

Great - These are my 2nd pair of Dr. Martens. I love them. Very stylish and comfortable.

Love these shoes! Very comfortable, solidly built. They look really cute with jeans! They weigh a ton, but that's not such a big deal.

Great feeling and looking shoe. Fits perfect.

Great shoes! This style of Docs were my first pair. I have had them for 3 years now and barely wear anything else! I have since bought 4 more pairs in different styles and will always be a Doc wearer!

Great - These are great shoes, they are very comfortable. I would recommend these shoes to anyone.

DM's Are Special! This is my second pair of DM's. First pair were 9369's, wore them for 2 1/2 years and 3,000 miles. I'm older than most, but I'm no different in most respects. I want comfort, value and solid construction. The 8312's nearly hit the mark, but may not be the shoe for all. They are heavy, a serious plus if you put the time in to break them in properly. They won't break down within a few months of hard use. They look great, and won't leave you with the "short/fat" foot look (no small thing to short/fat foot people). Thank God they make me look younger than I am. My only concern is perhaps a lack of proper heal height, a trait I've noticed in my new 9369's as well. These new DM's seem to be riding less secure and lower on my heel than my first DM's. This could be a manufacturing or design issue or it could be me (lots of changes to one's body after passing 45, but heel height shouldn’t be one of them). I have yet to feel the 8312's grab and hold my heel as comfortably and securely as I'd like, but they may yet come around. Unlike some other DM's, the 8312's don't have an insert you can adjust, but this may not be a concern once I finish breaking them in. Other than a chance desire to make some subtle adjustment, these shoes don’t need an insert, they are NICE. Expect these 8312’s will come around, as will the new 9369’s since I tweaked the heel insert. DM’s are special, they are the best shoes going, and you can’t get a better value than here. The service you'll get from Zappos is simply extraordinary and won't disappoint. Your feet will love you.

Great shoe! This pair of Docs is awesome. I bought the peanut color and the toe is a bit brighter than the rest of the shoe but it looks great. The picture makes it look like a big contrast but it is perfect. I recieved these 2 days after I ordered them and wore them the same day. They are super comfortable and need no breaking in period! I wear a solid size 7 but all Docs run big so I got a 6 (UK 4) and they fit like a glove. I like to wear boots and shoes with a bit of a heel and these are a change for me but they compliment everything, dressy or casual.

Awesome... I got these in bark grizzly about a month and a half ago and I must say, they were comfy from the beginning, but they did start feeling a lot better as they broke in, just like any other Doc Martens shoe. These shoes also have excellent cushioning. These go great with anything from rugged jeans to dress khakis. If you want a casual shoe with great versitality, this shoe is for you. The only problems with this shoe is that it's a little heavy and it's cut about a full size larger and it's a little wider than normal, although the little bit of extra width shouldn't be a problem unless you have a narrow foot, maybe, and you'll probably just get used to the weight.

These are awesome - These not only look great, but feel great, too. I was so impressed with these I went out and bought another pair before they went out of style!
