Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8065 Mary Jane

I was very excited about these shoes - I love the style and I expected them to be very comfortable and so cute with jeans. When I received however, the leather is very stiff, the straps very difficult to fasten and unfasten, and the shoes were so uncomfortable I had to get them off immediately. As cute as they were I hated to send back, but I knew the leather would never break in and be comfortable.

I don't have any idea how it would fit. The shoe was so STIFF I didn't even put my foot in it, I started to and stopped. The thought of trying to break those in made me cringe in pain! They are going back!

So stiff, I could barely open the buckles to try them on. Big disappointment as I was looking for the buttery soft, easy to wear DMs I had back in the day.

Shoes were delivered broken, dirty and not in original box.

The strap broke, returning this item

The shoes were defective. One of the buckles was completely detached...the anchor into the shoe had come out and I tried to get it back in and attached and could not. Very disappointed because the defect is very obvious

Terrible. Cheap leather, stiff. Very painful to wear and fit was really bad. I guess I have to kiss my 20s goodbye.

I didn't buy these shoes through Zappos; I ordered them through Amazon - AND returned them. I agree with the other reviewer here that the leather doesn't feel anything like leather at all. It feels exactly like stiff, unyielding, thin vinyl that will crack at the bend in the toe before long. I ordered the same size as my three other pair of DMs bought between 1999 and 2007. These Mary Janes were a full size too small. The sizing has definitely changed since they moved manufacturing from the U.K. to Asia. I love the way these looks, but I didn't reorder in a better size because they just looked so uncomfortable. (The sole seems fine, the upper is the problem.) There is NO WAY you could slip this shoe on. You'd have to unbuckle both buckles each time (which is REALLY difficult because of the incredibly unbendable material). I'm tremendously disappointed that a classic and once-quality shoe company is selling out its customers with cheap product just to make a little more profit. Shame on you, Dr. Martens.

Rediculously stiff. I would have to set my alarm 15 minutes early to allow enough time to get them on. No thanks, I love to sleep!

With a heavy heart I had to return these. I've wanted them for years and finally had the money. The UK 6 were too big, there was a gap at my heel and they looked clunky. The UK 5 looked adorable, but were way too small.
