Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Work 2295 Rigger

These boots are great quality, as is expected from Dr. Martens. The leather was sturdy, the padding inside was comfortable, and the boot was true to fit. I did have to return them however due to the extremely narrow upper. It would barely fit over my ankle, much less my calf. To be fair, my calves are pretty muscular, but, compared to three friends, only one was able to fit the leg of the boot. We agreed it seemed much smaller than expected, and, unless your calf is as big as the average person's forearm, these boots are going to be tight. Boots aside, Zappos not only impressed me with their fast service but also with the ease if the return. I will definitely be shopping with them again.

Bought these just short of a year ago. They have held up pretty well. I'm a diesel mechanic and the boots just got holes in the leather over steel toes. Bought the wide toe because the regular toe felt too small but they've stretched out and now they are slightly too big. Fit great with thick socks, though. I like the extra padding on the sides

Well... I loved these boots and was sad to see today that the sole was separating and the rubber that meets the leather on both boots were cracking... I believed they would last longer by the reviews I read.. but I guess not they're really nice boots ... If it wasn't for them breaking down on me... But Zappos is awesome and explained to me that there's a defect with these boots and to choose either to get another pair of the same boot or choose another brand.. So I decided to go for another brand and see how those come out... I'm gonna try the caterpillar revolver steel toe... And see how they hold up.. Thanks for your awesome customer service Zappos....

I got these work boots in June of 2013. I wanted to really put them through the paces before leaving a review. They did take a little more wear than usual to break in, but I think that is due to the heavy construction and the steel toes. I only have three minor complaints: 1. The leather on the toe is very easy to damage, though it has not worn all the way through because I try to be gentle with them. It would be nice to have that toughened a bit. 2. The fact they're laceless and pull-on is great for a lot of reasons, but they need some kind of elastic band or something inside to keep the heal from loosing contact with my foot. 3. You won't be able to get a straight cut pant over the top. thats fine if you're in mud and want to keep your pants clean, but if you're running a saw they fill with wood shavings, which get caught up in and damage the fabric on the sole. In summary, these are the best workboots I've ever owned. I would recommend them to anyone. They are comfortable and pretty waterproof and durable. It takes a lot of water over a lot of time before it gets past the surface. The padding around the ankles is great. They have saved my feet and shins more than a few times. I have worn them working in the mountains and in the city, in the snow and in the summer. They have served me better than any others, and I would buy them again without hesitation!

I have owned two pair of these boots so far and am online today to order yet another pair. Excellent boot with the great Dr. Marten quality that you expect from them. As a welder and fabricator I am pretty rough on boots that's why I am on my third pair. I am really happy that Zappos still keeps them in stock.

I really like these boots. I use them to ride a motorcycle in and they feel sturdy enough to feel safe but are normal enough I can wear them to work. They're comfortable enough to walk a couple of miles around my office in. Overall I'm very happy with them. However, they scar incredibly easily. I've got two large scars that I don't even know how I got. My shifter is covered in foam rubber but it's also starting to leave a scar.

Super comfortable, but two minor drawbacks. First is the cheap foam insole. It was worn out within a few weeks. After buying some aftermarket ones (I went with Spenco work boot ones) they were great. However, you'd think a shoe this expensive would have decent insoles. The other drawback is the leather is a bit too soft, it gets gashes easily. The other color style may not be the same as I noticed this is "distressed" leather on this color choice.

I got these for my boyfriend and was really excited. On Christmas morning he is a true size 10 and he could not get his foot in the boot at all. He changed to thin socks and had to really push to get his foot in and was finally able to get them on. He wore them around and they automatically stretched and now he is going to keep them. He loves them but the way the boot it made it is really hard to get your foot in them and then you have to stretch them out to get your foot out. Beware. But they are great boots so far.

I bought these to replace another pair of Doc Martens that I've worn every work day for the past 3 years. I picked these for the tan Greenland worn-in look and am glad that I did. These boots are the most comfortable work boot I've ever owned. Much more comfortable than the Red Wings and Wolverine boots that I've owned in the past.

Wonderful boots but I had to give away a pair of 13s (my usual size) and send back a pair of 14s because of the same problem. The arch on both pairs was so low that the right boot hurt to wear.

Keen Salem and Providence boots were my favorite boots ever. These look almost the same, but are made of a tougher, more rigid material that is less comfortable. The toe rubber pinches your toe when you walk, the prior boot styles did not require breaking in. They are sized a bit too large, the insoles are a little slippery, and even the outter soles are a bit slippery and are not as complex or as gripping as the old IMO. This is an inferior boot for the same price. The construction seems cheaper, like it was outsourced or something. I want the old Keens back, and I am willing to buy like 4 pairs. These don't suck but they are not worth overlooking other manufacturers for, the thing that set Keen apart was that immediate sense of comfort.

Great Boot! I have been wanting to find a steel toed Wellington for me for work for a long time. As a woman, I have never been able to find one in my size. When I have looked, I have been told they don't make a men's Wellington small enough to fit me. I was excited to see these on the website. This pair of boots is really comfortable and I really like them. I was a bit worried that the shank might be too high. I have fat calves and sometimes my Roper's are too tight, but these boots are perfect as far as the shank height and comfort around my ankles. Zappos has done it again as far as service goes. This is the second pair of work boots I have ordered from them. I ordered around noon on a Thursday and got them around noon on Friday. About a 24 hour turn around. Can't beat that.

Nice, but they are hard to get on! I bought these boots to use while riding a scooter. For that purpose, they are great. My only issue with them is that getting them on is a challenge. I have to wear REALLY thin socks to get them on. Each time I put them on it gets easier, so I think I'll be wearing regular socks eventually. The first try on was quite frustrating though. They are comfortable. There is not much support inside, but there is plenty of room to add a gel sole or an arch.

Doc Martens 2295 - First I wanna say that I am a girl in a paper mill and I have a hard time finding boots. These look awesome! I also have very wide and abnormal feet. I just got these in the mail today after I had to send the first pair back because they were too big. The second pair is a little snug, but from what I understand, they will stretch majorly. I usually have this issue with all shoes so I'm not very worried. Zappos did an amazing job with the whole mail and return process. I must say I did not expect them to live up to reviews from other people, but they surpassed them. I will definitely order shoes from here again and I will be back soon to review again when my shoe completely breaks in.

Zippo!!!! Ordered boots at 1.20pm 1/31; UPS just delivered at 1.20pm 2/1. Amazing. Packaging great, tried on boots immediately - and am still wearing them (inside). Look exactly as expected; in fact 'finish' ("Gaucho Volcano") is even better. Definitely comfortable, ankle support good. I can see why, if used as an all day work boot, why some people may insert gel/support soles. Also suggestions of long socks would probably work, esp. before leather 'worn-in'. Otherwise for rugged, cold/hard weather boots these can't be beat.

More than great looks - I mainly wanted these boots for the looks. Something to wear in the fall with jeans or cords and a sweater. But they are so comfortable I wore them to the car show recently in Kansas City and walked around all day. I couldn't even tell they were steel toes. Climbing in and out of those big trucks and SUVs I not only felt great, I looked great too. The pair I bought mine is in gaucho and I was a little concerned about stains. But a light once over with a shoe brush and they were fine. I'm really considering another pair in greasy, for work. The boot is put together that well in my opinion. I've seen this boot priced for less, including free shipping. But they may take 4-6 wks to deliver. Zappos zapped me my boots right away and made it easy to pay with Bill Me Later.

A Great Boot for chicks in construction - I work in the construction industry and needed a pair of steel toed boots that were cute & comfortable. These fit that bill. They are bigger than they are sized, and with almost all Doc's I've ever owned, you should go at least a size smaller than normal. I would even say 2 sizes - they stretch that much! Very, VERY comfy and good support for the back if you find yourself standing all day! Just make sure you get tall socks to go with them - prevents chaffing your calves...

They're quite nice - In general I am very pleased with my purchase, the boots are very comfortable. About the only complaint I have is that the padding on the sides is very thick, making them push out on some jeans just a little. I expect that the more I wear them the softer the padding will get and that the effects will subside.

These are the most comfortable work boots on the market, and the padded sides make them a great riding boot as well.

Very good quality, both in materials and construction. Unfortunately they seem just a tad tight compared to other brands of the same marked size, and the heavy construction means it will take a while to stretch/break in.

I love these boots. If you notice I did rate them 4 stars across the board and not 5 stars. The reason I did that is because I feel 5 is close to perfection and honestly almost impossible to rate them that accurately after only a few weeks. My 4 star rating does not take anything away from the comfort and look of this boot. I bought these boots as my new motorcycle boots and besides just looking great, they feel great when I ride and when I am walking. The break in period was relatively small, about one night. I wore them and was on my feet for about 8 hours the first night partying and when I took them off my feet felt great. They are my first pair of Doc's ever and I don't know why I never thought of trying them before. The front of the rubber sole on one of them was slightly wider/thicker than the other side but it doesn't really affect the boot's utility and look. I definitely would recommend these boots for work or motorcycle riding or even just to wear to hang out. And the best part of this whole deal was dealing with Zappos. The boots were delivered in 2 or 3 days I think. Much quicker then I expected. There return policy is kick ass and reading the reviews on the shoes/boots is awesome. Whatever you decide to buy make sure it’s from Zappos. They rock. I am planning to buy another different pair with laces for work.

These boots stand up to the toughest work conditions. I work in a refinery and don't ever think twice about these boots. I would definitely be buying another pair when these wear out. My co-worker has been having a pair for two years now.

Nice boot but small for a Dr. Marten. I had to order a full size over normal, the footbed was slightly below normal size while the real problem with fit was the boot is very low over the top of your foot. A full size larger gave enough room that the top of my foot wasn't bing compressed. I've been wearing Doc's for about 15 years, this is the first time I wasn't able to grab 'my' size and wear them.

Doc wearer - Great Boot. Love the look and feel. Only wish is that the leather was more the police boot (harder) type material as these boots tend to take a few nicks and cuts (when used in industry).

I usually wear a size 10 US...but in this boot I wear a UK 8. The leather is very soft...scuffs easy, but that just allows for the cool worn in look. Very comfortable, looks great, constructed well. Takes a few days to stretch this boot in though...good alternative to Redwings.
