Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 3989 YS

Very comfortable shoe. I'm wearing them right now as I write this. Excellent quality as I've come to expect from Doc Martens. Cool style.

I first started using Docs back in '94 and probably wore the brand through to '99. I had these very same shoes back then as well. And as many of us do, I moved on to other brands of shoes not thinking any further about Docs as a brand and well years pass. So this month I needed a good casual shoe that can go with Khaki's or denim or corduroys and like a flash I thought I'll get Docs again! So upon putting them on again three days ago, I completely forgot how comfortable they really are and couldn't believe I had been away from Docs for so long! It's a great feeling and a great buy. The overall quality and workmanship is excellent and as good as I recall from 19 years ago. Wow.

These were my first Doc Martens ever. For many years, for some reason, I thought that Docs were too narrow for me, so I never tried them. After looking for big size wing tips (14 US and usually Wides) I found these. The reviews saying they run a little big are true. Hopefully they'll stand up over time, but there was almost no breaking in time. I wore these straight out of the box for three days/evenings straight at a music festival and they felt great. I might buy some insoles which might take away the loose feel, but maybe thicker socks will do the trick when it gets cold in a few months.

Right out of the box these shoes look great. I commute to work 5 days a week in the city. So it is very important to have a shoe I can depend on. I was happy that these did not have to go through much of a breaking in period if any. They're comfortable and durable. They run a little big in case you're concerned about half sizes, which I was. Great fit! Great shoe! Looking forward to getting another pair of Docs.

When it came time to buy a new pair of work shoes I decided on Doc Martens. I had a pair of 1460 boots that lasted 15 years and where the best shoes I owned. I decided on this shoe and am so glad I did. They look really cool and I got a lot of compliments at work and they feel great. Took a little time to break in but that is standard procedure with Docs. I highly recommend these shoes for both comfort and style.

Been wearing the wingtip shoes since 1996. I actually just received my 7th pair of black wing tips which I use for work. I also have a brown and a burgundy pair both wing tips of coarse for other occasions or when I go out. I wear them till they are an eyesore to my wife but every pair has lasted me no less than three years and the only reason they become an eyesore is because i wear the bottoms out. These are great shoes and I will continue to purchase them until I retire which is still 20 years away.

I like the shoes a lot. They're a bit different, breaking the mold of the typical office shoe. They're comfortable to wear all day long. I like the trademark soft and rubbery sole of the shoe.

Be aware that Dr Martens are now made in China as opposed to England...like they were back in the days. My husband gets to rock a little of his punk rock style at work with this Docs since they're more work appropriate than the boots.

Speaking from my husband's point of view, he's in love with these shoes. We have been looking for a casual wing tip shoe for 2 years now. They are extremely well made & comfortable. True to size. Go for it, if its' what you're looking for.

I have had a pair of Doc Martens in the past, so I knew what size to get. These shoes are very stylish and durable. I work on my feet and my last pair lasted 1½ years. I still wear the original pair on the weekend. I chose this model for its style.

These are good shoes. None of that strange yellow stitching around the edge, chunky soles. Not much to the interior. I added a pair of orange Superfeet, and now the shoes seem perfect. Comfy, durable, handsome, what more could I want?

This shoe is the perfect blend of classy with its wingtip design and sturdy with all leather upper and rugged sole. It has a wider toe box than most wingtips that I have tried. The sole is a bit chunkier than I would prefer, but looks good with chinos and jeans. In my job as a high school teacher, I want to look professional, but also be comfortable. These needed very little time to break in [about 2 days]. I wear them just about everyday at work. They can really handle rain and snow too. Give the construction, probably the last pair of dress shoes I will need to buy. Thanks Dr. Martens and thank you Zappos.com.

In typical Doc Marten fashion, these shoes take a few days to break in and conform to your foot. Once they do, however, they are amazing. Much more style and appeal than standard Gibsons, and they are far more comfortable than any other longwing style shoe I could find. My entire footwear wardrobe has just been reduced to these, NB 990's, and Merrell hiking boots.

Love these shoes. Stylish and comfortable as all Dr Martens. I wear a size US 11. So - just a heads up to those with wide feet...these fit a bit more like a dress shoe than other Martens...so - they may be tighter than you would expect. If you wear a thicker sock and have a wider foot, then you may want to order a size wider than normal. Otherwise quality and comfort are superior to most others.

This is my third pair of Dr. Martens. About fifteen or twenty years ago I bought the black & white version of this model. And then about ten years ago I bought it in a brown (greasy?) finish. They were all comfortable right out of the box and still are. In between I've bought many other shoes from manufacturers like Mephisto, Allen-Edmonds, and Nike but none feels as good as this model. I'd buy more, but how many wingtips does anyone need?

They are just what I hoped for. Built like tanks, and full of style. The leather is high grade and stiff to begin, but with conditioner and clear wax they are the bomb. I get on average 6 people per day comment, all positively, on the style and flair. They feel like they will last 10 years, just like my other Docs.

Shoes are great! I love the look of them, and they are very comfortable. They look great with a pair of slacks or jeans! I'm very satisfied.

I'm a big Doc Marten's fan and actually were these shoes to the office. At eight years old, these are the oldest pair of shoes I own! I do a lot of walking and usually shoes just last a year. But these have defied the test of time and aside from needing a polish, still look brand new.

Love the shoes. Remember, they are stiff and will take some time to break in. The rim of the shoe rubs against the the protruding bone on the outside of my ankle. I am wearing a band aid at the rub spots until the shoes loosen.

Such an amazing looking shoe. I have always wanted a pair like this and now I have them.

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.

Very nice shoe. Lighter than most docs I've had. Thanks again Zappos!

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.

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.

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.
