Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Monk Strap Shoe

Nice shoe - I have several pairs of Dr. Martens’ shoes, but it's hard to find a Dr. Martens with some femininity, but this shoe with the buckle is cute for girls. I am not a fan of the mary jane type shoe, so for me, this is ideal. The shoe is comfortable and sturdy.

Absolutely perfect! I love this shoe! My chronic foot pain disappears whenever I wear them. Hardly any breaking in was needed. It looks great with jeans or a skirt. What more could a girl ask for?

Very pleased - I cannot say enough for Zappos, all of their products arrive quickly, in great condition, and at a reasonable price...The shoes look great, feel a little snug at first but that's leather for ya...The shoes are loosening up as I wear them, so that’s good…Overall, I love the shoes!

The actual bulkiness strains (a bit heavy) on the ankles after a long day of walk. Comfortable and stylish for khaki wear in offices.

I love these shoes, the only challenge is that they don't come in US half-sizes. I tried the 6 and 7, and ended up keeping the 7. The thing that helped the most is that the strap with the buckle is adjustable, so I was able to make the 7 work for me. I love these shoes; they are so cute and fun!

Love the shoes!!! But there is one tiny little problem, insole is hard so I had to buy insoles to put inside now they're very comfortable!!!

Very comfortable. Go great with jeans. Run a little big so if in between sizes, go smaller.

These have been very comfortable from day one. I have a very high arch and had to add insoles. The toe box is wide and comfortable. They are quite heavy, even more so than some of my other Docs.

I really like theses shoes. My only complaint is that I wish they came in half sizes. I bought one pair and found them a little too small, so I had to exchange them for the next size up. They fill a little big, but work.

Pretty but need half sizes for better comfort!!

I really like mine. Really comfy and very stylish. The only downside is it's a little wide depending on my sock thickness.

These are sock eaters! I have dozens of Doc Martens boots and shoes, and all have a very similar fit--except these. These run a bit small, I think, and the monk strap does not hold my foot in a stationary position. At the end of the first day I wore these, I had huge holes in both my cashmere socks where my toes had rubbed back and forth on the upper part of the toe box. I like a roomy toe box--I think that makes shoes look extra cute--but the big toe box AND the ineffective strap make these very difficult (and expensive!) to wear. I like the chunky look, so I will invest in a whole bunch of cheap wear-one-time-only socks. You can wear these right out of the box though, and that's always nice.

Love the look of this shoe. I love that its sole gives me some height. It is a heavy shoe. I have had to add shoe pads with some arch support. I am however wearing it to work everyday and am overall pleased with this purchase.

Comfort & Style - The shoes are pretty true to fit. Your foot does slide around a little. I just had to break them in but overall these are great comfortable shoes.

Ouch! I love Dr. Martens and haven't bought a shoe I didn't like yet. This one is nice looking, but very narrow, to the point that it squeezes your foot. I've never had such a thing happen before with Dr. Martens! I guess they need some breaking in. I wouldn't return them for the world though.

Great shoe! This shoe is very comfortable and seems like it will last for years. They fit true to size. The only thing that could be an issue for some is that they are a bit heavy.

Great feeling shoe!!!!!! One of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. And they are cute to top it off.

These shoes are cute but not overly comfortable. The right one dug into the top of my foot under the strap. The left shoe felt okay, but that was it. Just okay. Nice to look at from afar but definitely a chunky, masculine looking shoe. Needs to be worn with a wide leg or flare pant to hide the bulkiness of the shoe. Great service on behalf of Zappos; amazing as usual!

I am so disappointed with this shoe. The fit is odd and it makes me walk like a clown. I like the look so I kept them and hoped it would get better. After a dozen wears they went to the closet for many months. I just rediscovered them 2 days ago and decided to give them another try! Ugh! They are awful!! What happened to the good ol' Docs?!

This is probably going to be my last pair of Docs. I have been buying Docs for 15 years... back when they were still made (as a rule) in England. This pair is another pair in recent disappointments from what used to be my all time favorite shoe maker. It's not made well, the stitching is poor, the insoles are not even and if it's leather, it must be the cheapest leather available because it looks and feels fake.
