Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8836 ST

Best boot purchase I have made in a long time. Very comfortable and the look of the boot is unique when compared to other boots in their class. Also I like the fact that this boot has rings for the top shoe lace holes rather than the class hook style which tends to "chew up" laces very fast. Over all I could be more happy with them!

I bought these boots for work. I work at a salvage yard on concrete floors all day. The soles are very comfortable. However, they are a heavy shoe, so they're great for standing stability but not good for lots of walking. After a few months I wore through the toes, but I'm going to glue toe guards on them. Otherwise, they've held up well.

Love the boots; I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day, on concrete, I have plantar fasciitis in my feet and these are the only boots that don't cripple me up. The boots are high enough that they support my ankles. I have never gotten blisters when their new. Put 'em on and wear 'em.

I purchased these boots almost a month ago very concerned they would not fit properly. I wear a size 7US women\\\'s Dr. Marten boot, kind of snug, but it wasn\\\'t steel toe and I was afraid the steel toe boot would be very tight. I ordered the size 7 because they do not have half sizes. When I got them and tried them on, they felt tight around my baby toe and top of my foot (my feet are like duck feet). I loosened the laces, didn\\\'t use the top eyelet, and wore them around the house for a few hours, and they are the most comfortable boots I\\\'ve ever had. They fit nice, look nice, and I feel safe in them. Just make sure you wear socks over your Achilles heel, of course.\\r\\nAlso, I appreciated how kind Zappos was on the phone, esp compared to the mfr, who was very rude and I chose not to order from. It was the same price but would not have been worth the inferior service.

After hearing my boss rave about your store, I decided to buy my next pair of shoes from your store. My first pair did not fit. I returned them at no cost and had my next pair within a short time. Process was simple and easy. Very pleased!

They were a little uncomfortable for the first 3 weeks of use while the boot was getting broken-in (mostly in the toe area), but most of my comfort issues have subsided and now it’s back to feeling the way a Doc Marten should feel. I’ve been wearing Docs since high school and my last pair gave me 8 years of service so I’m certain these new ones will provide the same level (if not more) of service. So far I’m very happy and recommend them to anyone who is a Doc Marten fan or just needs a really durable boot.
