Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8053

Very comfortable yet sturdy shoe in Dr. Martens distinctive style.

I buy these shoes regularly for my work. Great fit, width was perfect.

Great looking shoe. Comfortable

This is a sturdy shoe that is well constructed and durable. This is my second pair in five years. The padded upper is comfortable but not ideal.

I really liked this 8053 shoe, but it did not work with my high instep. The eyes and laces sat right on the highest point of my foot with an irritating sharpness. I prefer lace-ups because I have a wide foot and high instep - the laces allow for a bit more room when needed. So bummed these shoes did not work out, because they were otherwise very comfy and I liked the style. .

Great fit, super comfortable

Good, but actual color had too much of a red tone, photos look dark brown

These feel like the old doc martens from the 90’s. Love them. They have a matte leather finish so they should be easy to clean up. I would recommend them over the shiny black ones. I’m usually a women’s 9 but a women’s 8 fits perfectly.

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. They are very well made and are thicker leather than most shoes similar in style. I expected a longer break-in period. They look great with slacks and jeans. I am 56 years old and this is my first pair of docs. I am very pleased and they are work every penny.

Great fit and feel, these never go out of style.

Excellent shoes...always buying then and they last for a very long time

This is a great shoe! Comfort right out of the box no break in time! I have two pair of these great shoes - they are good for all day comfort!

I ended up going down a size to make it work.

Great looking shoe and it is working as expected for what I wanted. First pair of Doc Martins.

I've made several purchases from Zappos, and the service is (still) second to NONE. How can anyone complain about a painless purchase that arrives to your mailing address before your credit card has been charged (LITERALLY, next day service) GREAT pair of shoes. Will CERTAINLY use Zappos for all future purchases. Thanks again for the PERFECT transaction and "tough as nails" pair of shoes!!!

I have very short, wide feet. I had some Doc Martens that I purchased in Dec 1995 that finally starting falling apart in the heal recently (Jan 2019); the soles and stitching were in excellent shape; obviously, the color was worn, but they were by far the best fitting shoes I have ever had on account of the odd shape of my feet (most shoes simply do not fit correctly). This model that I purchased was not the exact same model as the old, and they fit very tight around the top of my foot. I am in the process of stretching them out. They are much better now.

I wear a US Women's 8.5; the Doc Marten size 6 (UK 6) is just roomy enough. It's slightly too big and I imagine a better choice than the UK 5. If I were ordinarily a size 8 I'd have a dilemma and might have gone with a UK 5.

The style is what it is, and exactly what I was looking for. These are amply wide for my 8 1/2 W foot (female). I ordered the UK 7, using the chart. However length-wise they are a good size too large. I'm planning to reorder a size down.

These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box. Soft and supple and it feels like walking on a cloud.

On my feet 9 hours a day, Doc's are the only shoes that can "stand" the test of time for the amount spent. Solid, reliable, comfortable, a real shoe. Love my Doc's!

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I'd wanted to purchase them for a while but I was worried that they'd take forever to break in like my Doc Martens boots. The first day I wore them I walked 40 minutes across NYC and had no pain. I was thrilled! The only downside is that I can't wear them in the summer because my feet get too hot. Otherwise I absolutely love them and am so happy I bought them.

I love the way the sole feels. Firm yet compliant.

Great!

Even though they are made in China, the shoes are up to the standards of all the Docs I have previously owned. Like all Docs, they take a bit of time to break in but it's time well spent.

So durable!
