Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Work 2295 Rigger

These are good, solid boots and maybe a little too solid. I had trouble breaking them in and had to have them stretched. They do seem on the small side, go 1/2 or full size larger than normal. The will get tight as your feet swell during the day, and won't have a lot of give. A good pair of boot insoles will help, too and no boot has enough cushioning!

These boots are true performers! I purchased a pair December 2009, I wore them to work everyday until February 12, 2011, and trust me I am not easy on my work boots. They quickly broke in and stayed comfortable through the entire time I wore them. The only reason I am getting a new pair is because I cut a hole in the leather upper and now my sock gets wet, otherwise I would still be wearing them!

I love these boots! Mostly use for riding my motorcycle. The padded ankle gives a bit more stability and comfort in that area. As with most wellingtons they can be tough to pull on, but that gives them a nice fit.

These boots are great! I purchased these boots for my husband (these look hot on him unlike his other work boots he wears). He is constantly working around heavy equipment. I wanted him to have a steel toe boot for protection, but something that looks good at the same time. I am so glad I chose these! The brown is a very nice color and he keeps raving how comfortable they are and loves the look. I am very happy with the purchase! And as if the boot isn't wonderful enough, Zappos is simply amazing! They must have some kind of teletransportation device, I swear. I ordered them at lunchtime on Monday and tripped over the box leaving my house Tuesday afternoon. I bet it was under 24 hours. And it's free shipping! It blows my mind! As always, great service and will never order shoes online unless it's from Zappos!

Love them! Got them just before a snowstorm, and they are great to have. Hardly any break in time. The only thing that actually needed breaking in was the upper on the left boot, it was a little bit tight, but broke in in about three days. My wife loves them, they look great, feel great, and are a great boot.

Fast delivery, and when the boots were too small, the return process was so simple. Re-ordered a different size and they arrived just as quickly. A very efficient process!

These boots are great! They are so comfortable right from the box. They need no breaking in time and are tough. They are perfect work boots.

Great Boots! Lots of padding around the ankle area for support. I have not worn any other style or brand for years.

These are a killer boots! They were sort of hard in the beginning and very tight for the top of my feet but gradually and quickly they molded to the right shape. I cannot be happier with them!

According to my husband, these are the boots. Finally a work boot that meets all his requirements. The size 12 wide, pull on, steel toe, comfortable, so far so good on durability.

This is my second pair of these boots. The first pair had the leather stripped off the steel toe -- and I have no idea how it happened! I'm not tossing out the old boots, but they have been reserved for muddy job use. I really like these boots for motorcycle riding. They are day long comfortable once broken in, look great and stand up to the weather. And with the Doc Martens sole, they're even comfortable for walking in, too. When my old boots became too disreputable to wear in public, I just used the size off of them and ordered up my new boots. They're true to size and just fit.

Great shoe - I have been wearing Dr. Martens boots for about 11 years. When they get broken in they are very comfortable. I bought these for the convenience of not tying. Have worn these boots almost every day since I received them in the mail. Would love to have a pair without the steel toe.

Great Boots - I have worn these boots 10 hrs. a day 4 days a week for almost 2 yrs. I'm on my feet most of the time on cement and work with chemicals. They have outlasted any other brand I have worn. I'm going to order another pair. Great boots!

My Second Pair - I like these boots so well, I bought another pair. Great padded ankle and the boots are built well enough to take all the oil patch can dish out. Zappos.com sent them quickly W/O hassles.

Dr. Martens - great brand/Zappos - great service - I ordered the Gaucho Volcano, even though I was afraid they were going to be a reddish-brown hue from the picture. What a surprise... they were a beautiful, even dark chocolate brown. Easy to put on right out of the box. Fit was perfect after about a week of break-in and the padded ankles are a beautiful design. These boots aren't made for walking or hiking with the steel toes... but will last forever at work for me. And Docs are one of the few decent men’s boots that offer smaller sizes for women that actually fit well. Zappos shipped them to me in record time all the way to Hawaii. Maybe 3 days from order? Great boots. Great service!

Best boot ever! I'm a paramedic, so I wear my boots 24 hours at a time. I was looking for an alternative to my Red Wing Fire boots, something not as restricting. They are a little snug out of the box, but stretch over time and provide surprisingly good support for a pull on. Excellent boot!

Great Boot - These boots are very sturdy and comfortable. The soles are much better than the last pair of Dr. Martens pull ons that I bought from Zappos. The soles actually split on them. I was actually thinking about returning them. This boot actually has ankle pads to prevent you from banging your ankle on steel or equipment.

Good, but not perfect - I work on ladders all day and sometimes walk on roofs, so I need support and traction. The 7A50 series has worked well for me, except that my feet were always wet when it rained...sopping wet. I assume the water was coming in thru the laces, which is why I decided to try the 2295. The 2295 so far has provided protection from water, but I haven't worn them in a storm yet. They seem to hold up against the abuse from my job. But the arch support is less than adequate. In fact, I put on an old pair of 7A50's after wearing my 2295 all day and the difference in comfort was noticeable. The 7A50 was more comfortable. So now I'm going to have to shell out more money for an insert for my otherwise functional 2295's...

Ahhhhhh. That’s the sound my feet make when sliding into these boots.

Count on comfort - I wear Docs and this is the first boot from them that I have tried. They are fantastic! I have orthotics and they work just fine, the steel toe is great, I farm in Arizona so the comfort and safety is welcome. They fit just right and I will see if they stay cool enough this summer.

Best boots I've ever owned - I needed safety toed boots for a month long training assignment. I liked the look of these Doc's and thought they would do for this brief need. I have never owned such a comfortable pair of boots. They look great and don't make any noise when wet on hard floors. I hate that. So in short, I will be wearing these boots as much as I can this winter.

Not like any other steel toe - These boots were comfortable right out of the box. No break-in time, extra insoles or pads needed. I wear them 13 hours a day without any problem.
