Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8836 ST

Great boots, just not for a hot shop - I work in the auto industry building custom cars. Working in a shop thats 100 plus degrees with these boots was the only downside--they didnt breath at all. Besides that though they are an awesome boot, very comfortable and durable.

I used to wear another brand. I'm very hard on work boots,and my feet need the best. This was my first pair of Dr. Marten's, and I'm sold. I will never buy another brand of work shoe. They are the best, bar none! The 2nd day shipment was amazing!!! Thanks Zappos, you have a customer for life also.

My husband loves his new boots - He got these for his railroad work and has walked miles and miles, climbed up and down train cars, in gravel, oil, etc. and says the boots are perfect.

Dr. Martens 8836 Series - Boots are easy to break in and extremely comfortable. Unfortunately if you are on your feet a lot doing landscaping and concrete work, they don't have a long life. Durability could use improvement. Overall they are a good boot.

Great fit and very comfortable! I picked these up just to have a pair of rugged boots to wear, and they're both very comfortable and extremely well made. Just make sure you order a size smaller than what you might be used to--even though a UK 13 is similar to a US 12, for instance, it really fit like a 12.5. I normally wear 12s and I ordered a UK 10 (US 11), and it fit perfectly. All this was on top of Zappos.com fantastic customer service and incredibly speedy shipping!

Comfortable steel-toed boot - This is a great steel-toed boot. It's comfortable enough for all day wear at work and looks dressy enough to wear out on the town in the evening.

The BEST shoe I've ever had - I had just spent upwards of $130 on Wolverine Durashocks which I wore for less than 3 days. They are costly dust collectors! As per a reccommendation from a friend I looked into Dr. Marten's. Not knowing the fit or quality personally of the boot and ordering online, I was slightly hesitant. Once I recieved them (in less than 48 hours!) I was astounded at the comfort and quality at such a reasonable cost. As a mechanic who works 9 hour days on oily, grimy concrete 6 days a week, these are truly the best purchase I have made for work boots. I strongly reccommend them to anyone who is looking for a quality boot for either work or everyday wear. They are extremely comfortable and the wide toes reduce the discomfort of having to wear steel toed boots.

I work for the local telephone company, so I'm on my feet all day long. These boots are very comfortable, even when climbing poles. They where easy to break in, and are very easy to keep clean. I love these boots and would definetly buy another pair when (if) I wear these out!

I should have stepped up and bought a pair of these sooner. A very comfortable boot with excellent arch and ankle support. They are much lighter than they appear and feel great on your feet--spend the money, you won't regret it.

I've always heard good things about Docs, so when I got a new job, I ordered a pair. If you have to live in safety boots I highly recommend them. I am a Dr. Marten's man for life! I ordered on a Sat. and recieved them on Tues. Between the shipping and price protection polices I will buy from Zappos again without hesitation.

I am in the coast guard and have worn this model for 2 years as my primary pair of boots. I am just now looking to get a new pair. I wear these for about 18 hours a day. Awesome boot; I will only wear doc's now. I am truly amazed by how well they have held up.

Great shoe, very comfotable. I wear 10 1/2 US and since Docs only come in whole sizes I was a bit uneasy ordering the 10's; but the 10s fit like 10 1/2s. Great shoe, great look, and break in time was very short.

Great steel toe work shoes - I work on Military aircraft 40 hours a week standing on laddres or on my feet all day. This shoe is very comfortable for this kind of work and I would buy another pair if I needed them.

Great for long hours on cement floors. I bought this to wear in a large factory and warehouse where a lot of walking is required. The shoe is very comfortable and is great for long periods on hard cement floors. Overall, a very good shoe.

I wrote a review of these shows 1 year and 9 months ago. The shoes have been amazingly comfortable, but I've had some problems. For one, the steel toe on the right boot came out, and is basically just being held in place by the cloth and insole. The stitching on the outside side of the right shoe is gone as well. Regardless, I'm going to buy another pair.

Happy with purchase - I use these shoes on a wet, very slippery floor and the non-slip soles are just as described. They're very comfortable boots with industrial strength and high quality and are also great looking. I couldn't be happier and I feel like these boots will last a long time too!

Just as though I expected - Our work had previously purchased a pair of the Dr. Martens 8836 steel toe work boots, believe it or not they lasted 2 years. My husband had previously wore out the soles of several other brands of shoes, ranging in price from $88 - $150.00. Dr. Martens' shoes hold up. I also found that buying them at Zappos.com was a great experience. I had ordered the wrong size the 1st time, they paid for the shipping of the wrong ones back and the correct size back to me. Thanks again

8836 - I have worn many other high dollar work boots that lasted less than six months. These are the only boots that can stand a years worth of abuse around a railroad yard which is some of the worst conditions you can expose a boot to. These are every day, all day and night boots. Excellent hot weather boots (105 degrees +).

Best darn boot - I've never had a pair of Doc Martens before, but I would definitely buy another pair of these. These boots keep my feet dry and warm, look great with just about everything, and can stomp the hell out of anything.

Doc fit the bill - When first slipping these boots right out of the box, I was gladdened by the comfort. I've been in work boots before with steel toe and it was dreadfull experience. For these boot the 8836's where a delight to slip into. Snug and perfect are all tops with this boot. I recommend them to anyone that needs footware for work, play, hiking and extreme combat.

Even better than I thought! I love boots in general! I wear boots everyday, not for work, but for the style. These boots are amazing! Stylish, extremely comfortable, and I get compliments and questions on where to get them all the time. I can't answer to how they hold up as work-boots, but I've had mine for 6 months of day-to-day wear and they are in just as good shape as the day I put them on. How comfortable you ask? I spent a week walking around New York, day in day out, from early morning to the latest hours at night, and when my friends feet were killing them and the were giving up, I was pain free and still ready to go. My only hope was that they would offer the same style but with a black sole, but otherwise you cannot go wrong with these!

Rugged Boot - You can't wear these boots out. I've had them for 5 Years now, the only problem is that the leather over the toe is wearing through.

Can't go wrong with Dr. Martens - I had a low top version of this same shoe and wore them about everyday for 3 years. Very comfortable. The 8836 series are my third pair of Dr. Martens and they fit great and are very comfortable.

This is all you need - I wear these boots every where. Hunting, class, bar, work, and around the house. I bought my first pair about two and a half years ago and I still wear them every day. These are definitley worth the price. These are all you need.

Best boots ever, work or play. Just got my second pair after two years. Just wanted a different color. I still kick a#! in my old ones.
