They are awesome. I am a runner so I have pretty wide calves and the buckles are adjustable so that they can go over jeans easily, or be cinched to stay up with just leggings or stockings. I used band-aids to prevent blisters for the first day, but I don't think I actually needed them. They have a roomy toe box and good arch support (I have pretty flat feet). And they're fun!

These are the coolest boots! I want to wear them everyday! True Dr. Martens shoes to the letter, they are beautiful and as expected.

Love this great looking and comfortable boot! Never had a pair of Doc Martens before. I wear orthotics and these are able to accommodate them, which is a huge plus! I just removed the insert that came with and put in my own. Looks great with skirts or jeans. Arch support is between none and slight.

GREAT boot - been on the hunt for something like this for a long time and had never looked at Dr. Martens. Looks fantastic on - boot shaft is not too tall for us shorter gals. Agree it runs large - I probably would have ordered an 8 if I had not read previous reviews but sized down and went with a 7 and it fits fine. Can't wear a thick sock with it but no need to. Great boot for the price! Looking for a change in the weather so I have a good excuse to wear it.

This is a great boot! The style is fantastic and I've gotten nothing but compliments since I got them. Great over jeans and with a dress. Fantastic for walking anywhere! I will say, like any Doc Marten, they take time to break in. I have a bit of a high arch, so that took a little wearing in, but well worth it!

Zappos has the greatest selection of shoes and boots that I’ve ever found and believe me, I am a shoe/boot shopper! At least 8 pairs of beautiful, perfect boots are from Zappos and lots of pretty shoes! The customer service, next day delivery, and quick return policy is outstanding! I am particularly enjoying my new Dr. Martens Phina boots that I’ve just received. They are exciting to wear and I get a lot of looks and compliments on these awesome looking boots. Although I do need to break the right boot in a little by wearing it more often because it causes a blister on the back of my heel, but I’ve found that when I’d slipped an arch support in to the boots that it helps. These boots are fabulous and just pure fun to wear on the weekends and on vacation. I feel like a fashion diva!

I ADORE these boots! I was nervous about ordering them since I have bigger calves (14inches) and have had a MASSIVE problem over the years attempting to try and find those Perfect pair of knee high boots. I was also worried because I am short (4’11”) and was worried they might be too tall (jabbing in the back of the knee). They fit around my calf VERY nicely. I actually had to take them in an inch (not hard because of the leather being softer. I just used a sharp nail to put in new holes.) I was also concerned because a lot of reviews stated that they "bunch up". They do very slightly, but it didn’t bother me. Especially when I tightened the top two straps, bunching went away. They stay up - EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. Took me around 4 days to break in the heels (bandaids = friend) after that, I have actually fallen asleep in these! I get compliments every time I wear them. I was surprised that I could dress them up a bit and still have them looking great. Also perfect for casual. I found the arch support to be WONDERFUL. I suffer from severe Tarsal Tunnel so arch support is a deal breaker with me on any shoe wear. I find these boots are actually the best foot wear for my legs. The buckles are not as big as in the photo - my only complaint is that I had to stretch/wear in the leather around my toes, something I have NEVER had to do. (I have EXTREMELY small feet, I wear a size 5) Other than that - I am extremely happy with these!

These boots rock. Soft leather upper makes them much more comfortable than the other DM pair I ordered (thanks Zappos for the easy return!). Adjustable straps are great for tailoring your look: jeans in vs. tights. I can see how others would add more holes if their calves are slim, but they’re fine as is for me. I wear 9W and the 8 fits perfectly. Lots of room in the toe box.

Awesome boots. Many others have said they are too wide through the leg, but I don’t think this style of boot is meant to fit skin tight, plus they fit easily over a pair of jeans and are incredibly comfortable. Even w/o the jeans underneath I was not bothered by the slight looseness, as they do not sag, but maintain their appearance perfectly. It just makes them super comfy. Of course, with Doc Martins Air Step soles, my feet are loving walking in these. Plus, I have gotten dozens of compliments on how they look just in the first couple of days I wore them.

I love these boots! They are so comfy and I can actually fit my pants inside them. Normal boots don't usually fit my muscular calves, but these are amazing! I definitely recommend them to everyone!

Been watching these boots for just a while now. I ordered them Thursday night, knowing my recent breakup somehow would be kinder and sweeter once my booties arrived to be held dear. Upon waking & walking, to my wondering eyes does appear, but the UPS truck proclaiming my shoes from Zappos were here! They fit like a glove looking hip & serene, a few added notches got those belts nice around my shins. Zappos, I love ya! You care about me so! When I order from you, you treat me like a sis or bro. I'll always come back, true love can't resist! Like a heart to heart friend, shopping with you is bliss! Love ya! The boots really are great. Thanks.

These boots are fabulous. I wore them for the first time when I flew to NY City and had so many compliments from complete strangers coming up to me to ask where I got them. They are very comfortable and were so great running through the airport! I only wear them on special occasions, but they could be worn every day for the right look. My husband says they are my P!NK mixed with Edward Sissorhands boots. He loves them! They are quite sexy.

Wow! These boots are even better looking in person! I was concerned about the sizing since I am a true 9 1/2; went with the 9's and they are perfect. The leather is supple, not at all stiff; they are not by any means "slouchy", but they do pucker a little between the top 2 straps, but that's okay. The straps can adjust to accommodate any calf size, the toe box is perfect. They took no break-in period. I have never loved a boot like I love these (thank you for my present, hubby!). If you are considering these, they are the perfect boot for skirts and jeans with an edge, get them! They are well worth the money. I haven't had Docs since the company changed hands so I am happy to say I am not disappointed. Also, Zappos rocks; so friendly, so helpful, this is exactly what customer service should be like, and so speedy and free! Ordered Sunday night, delivered Tuesday morning. Thank you, Zappos, I will always order from you!

Wow! These boots are even better looking in person. Zappos shipped these wicked quick, even on a holiday weekend. First off, I'm a guy and even those these are womens boots, they look completely masculine on. I've had several envious compliments from my compadres on these. The foot size was "spot on" once you do the UK/US conversion. The barrel/neck of the boot is large, but with some extra holes made (I would advise getting the proper "leather punch" from a crafts store) and some heavy socks, they fit great. The distressed and dieseled leather not only give them a great look, but also make them more pliable and protected from the elements. Thank you Zappos and Doc Marten.

I just received these boots as a gift a couple days ago after drooling over them online for the past few months. I have to say, my high expectations were not disappointed. I love them. They look fantastic, and the material isn't too thick, so I've been wearing them everyday in 80 degree weather. They're perfect for the Renaissance Festival and perfect for Factory Goth night at the club. They're comfortable and don't have a heal, so I'm not taller than my boyfriend, which has been a problem with many boots with the same hardcore looks as this in the past. I'm tall as it is, so I don't like being too much further off the ground. Ha. I love the purple plaid inside the boots. So far, they're comfortable and another plus: I can tuck my pant legs in! I have large calves so whenever I'd flex my calf muscles my other boots would unzip themselves. Not these! I have many, many boots, and these are definitely my favorite.

Super cool boots; so glad I bought them! A couple of issues: first, I have skinny legs, and had to punch more holes in the straps so they would fit reasonably well. I agree that the straps are a little flimsy, but as long as you're okay with the sort of flopped over look (which I am), they're fine.

Dr Martens Phina shoe -
I love this boot. I received many compliments the first time I wore them. I have only one "complaint" (that's why I gave the look a 4 and not 5 stars). The area of the inner flap (where just a strip of leather shows when buckled up) will not lie flat against my shins. I have at best average width calves (not at all thick) and I adjusted many of the buckles to the last or next to the last hole. The one area between the top buckle and the next one down puckers out. Even without my leg in it, it doesn't lie completely flat, but it's worse when you've got the boot on. Lastly, I wish the heel was about 1/2 " to 1" taller...

They fit!!!
I have finally found a pair of knee-high boots that fit! As I am new to the whole non-snow boot situation, I had no idea that buying boots is such a pain. Apparently, I have large calves for my size 6 foot. I never knew this before and wonder who the average women's boot is sized for. Do these women stand up? At all? Anyhow, I have larger than average calves, as I said earlier. These boots are completely adjustable. They may not fit someone who has chicken-skinny calves as they are pretty roomy. Each buckle adjusts the circumference of the shaft so you can mold the boot to your leg. I may need to add a new hole near the bottom of the shaft, but I am ok with that. So, again, love this boot!

Fantastic buy -
I absolutely adore these shoes and would get them again in a heartbeat. They're comfortable, stylish, and perfect for me. They are taller than you would think though so just be aware of that.

Excellent purchase! These boots are comfortable, well-fitted and great looking! They fit easily over my calves, even with jeans underneath. Just be sure to wear high socks with them in order to prevent blisters on the back of the heel. Would highly recommend.

The Best! I was very excited when I came across this boot because Dr. Marten's shoes and boots are always well-made and because I noticed that the boot had buckles at the top of the boot, which appeared to make the boot a good choice for my large calves. I called Zappos customer service to ask some questions about the calf width and the person I spoke to was very helpful. I decided to purchase the boot and I was thrilled when I opened the box and saw how interesting the boot was up close. I actually cried tears of joy when I tried the boots on and after adjusting the buckles, I was able to comfortably pull the boots up and zipper them easily all the way up. Thanks Dr. Marten and Zappos!

Awesome boots!
These boots are amazing! They are incredibly comfortable--I'm a college student so I do a lot of walking, and they have never bothered my feet. They also look awesome, and random strangers frequently compliment me on them. I highly recommend them!
