This is the third time I have ordered this shoe over ten years and I love them. Zappos as a retailer rocks. I am 49 years old so I know of what I speak. Order went in on a Tuesday got home from work on Wednesday afternoon new shoes at the door. Thanks.

Docs are wonderful, as always. This is probably my 10th pair of them, though my first pair of wingtips, as they've been very hard to find. Was thrilled that Zappos had them and in my size (15). Shipping time was great.

This is my 4th pair of docs, great shoes overall. I was concerned that ordering a Mens 10 (US) would be too small since I normally wear 10.5's but these fit perfectly.

Incredibly sturdy, well constructed shoe. The sole doesn’t seem as cushy as other Docs I’ve owned, but still adequate. They definitely need a breaking in period, they’re pretty stiff, especially the back heel. Otherwise, the quality, style, and color are spot on. I have yet to be disappointed with this iconic brand.

I was very happy with the quickness my shoes arrived and the quality. However, the size was not true to size and I have gotten blisters.

I bought this shoes for my nephew and he LOVES THEM very comfortable and he wears a size 14 which is not an easy size to find. He had some black ones so I took the opportunity to purchase these for him.

Comfy, with a classic Dr Marten look, perfect!
I've owned many pairs of many versions of Docs (please bring back the 9814 series!), have loved them all but the steel toes, and these are no exception. Chunky, cushy sole and vintage looking brown leather and wing-tip styling, not to mention Docs' superb craftsmanship, have cemented my loyalty to the Dr Marten brand.

Not my last Dr Marten -
This is my first Dr Marten shoe and probably won't be my last. They are surprising comfortable considering how stiff the leather is, and the sole is quite soft. Unfortunately, they don't breathe at all as there are no vents. I've had mine for a few weeks and they still squeak quite a bit. I also had to buy a size bigger because my feet are a bit wide. Still highly recommended though!

Great shoes....
Just replaced my first pr of DM wingtips that I bought in '93. Breaking in my new pr and looking forward to having them an equally long time. FWIW, I've owned many prs of DM shoes and boots and they've all worn like steel. Take care of them and they'll last longer than just about any other shoe.

I love this shoe!
I get so many compliments on this shoe! I bought them for work but find I wear them nearly 7 days a week! The sizes do run big but they are still incredibly comfortable! This is the 3rd pair of Docs that I own...the others are 12 and 7 yrs old and you would never know!

Solid Shoe -
These are great shoes. It took a week to break them in but once broken they feel wonderful. This is my second pair of Docs Wingtips and I would buy a third. BTW - Docs run large. I wear a 14 and I have to buy UK 12/US 13.

Classic Docs quality shoe -
Probably my 5th pair of Dr. Martens ever, and these will surely be my favorite yet. The brown wingtip goes perfect with my IT geek wardrobe of khakis and polo shirts.
Day 2 and the leather's already starting to get used to my foot. I expect by the end of the week I'll have another pair of shoes that will get years of daily use.
If you've never worn this brand before and have really soft feet, be ready for a rather tough break-in period. After that you'll swear by Docs forever and revel in how good the bouncy sole keeps you on your feet all day with a lot less fatigue than standard dress shoes.

Lightweight, Durable.
Ok, here's the deal: the color is much lighter in person, nothing some black shoe polish can't fix. It actually comes out much nicer (dark burgundy). This shoe is very light compared to Docs of old. This means no knee pains! I needed this for work. I'm a teacher, so I need a shoe that looks slick, can take the mud on the playground, and won't alert anyone to my approach in the hallways. This shoe does all that. These are Docs, so they'll last forever. The longer you own them, the more comfortable they get. These shoes took about 4 full days of pain (by the tongue of shoe and ankle) before they broke in. Now there's slight pain, but once you suck it up and these break in 100%, it'll be the best shoe in the world.

Docs -
This is my 8th pair of Docs. Of the 8, 3 have been wingtips (black, brown & black/white).
I have a wide foot (EE+) and a high arch. My measured size is 8.5, but the size 9 (US) Dr. Martens fit well. The toe box is not too far forward.
They are casual/dress in style and last forever and a day.

Style is superb; shoes go well with business attire as well as with jeans, but these are very uncomfortable if you are on your feet for any length of time (little cushion and very stiff).

How long owned: 5 minutes before deciding to return. Problems: eyelets: too tight, can't lace; leather: wrinkled upper, super squeaky when you walk; comfort: pinched where toes connect to foot when walking. I bought this shoe and almost immediately returned it. When I ordered online, it was the only size left in that style. When I opened the box, the left shoe had a defect in workmanship. I had planned to send them back in exchange for same pair, assuming this was an anomaly. The leather upper was wrinkled. Before I sent them back, I tried them on and walked around the house to make sure I liked to overall feel. As I walked, I felt the crease at my toes and foot was being pinched. Perhaps this is a result of new leather shoes? I couldn't lace the shoes at the top because the eyelets were just punched holes in the leather, no metal eyelet. The holes were punched entirely too small and I couldn't feed the shoestring through without stretching the hole with a leather tool. These are things that can be worked around, but the shoes were squeaky to the point of obnoxiousness. After reading other reviews about the same shoe, I decided that these are issues that are not an anomaly for the pair that was shipped to me. I didn't take the chance and decided to order a different style of Doc Martens. Too bad, these shoes are super cute! I planned to wear them to work most days. I cannot sacrifice comfort and silence for something that looks good, so I opted not to exchange for the same style.

I have had 3 pair of these shoes and am going to order my fourth set from Zappos. The brown pair I have is almost done for but I cannot get rid of them because they do not make them anymore. Love the shoe.

The customer service doesn't get any better when you place your order and it arrives at your door step less than 24 hours later with free shipping! Love Zappos will shop here again. Husband loves these shoes and they usually last 10 years.

Zappos is the model of an ideal Internet shopping experience. As for the shoes, this pair replaces a pair I have worn for six years. They are a great classic looking pair of shoe with a rugged outsole.
