Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 8065 Smooth Leather Mary Jane Shoes

The size was okay. I'm between 8.5 and 9 depending on the brand so I sized down to an 8 knowing that Doc Martin's can run big. My issue is with the buckle. It was an intensive labor to open the buckles. Once my foot was in, there was no way I could rebuckle them! I put a lot of effort into it too, so right then I decided this would be a terribly impractical shoe and wrapped them back up.

These shoes look darling, but I found them so uncomfortable. I could probably break them in eventually, but it would be torture- they scrape the heel and dig into the top of my foot. And they are so difficult to buckle and unbuckle. I have two other pairs of Doc boots that I could wear comfortably from Day 1, so I know some designs are just more forgiving. They looked great, but I can’t justify the blisters for the price.

These shoes are not comfortable at all. They are very stiff, seems like it would take a long time to wear them in.

These shoes are cute and I really wanted to love them but the leather is different from other Doc Martins I have owned. It’s very stiff, to the point that the buckles are impossible to use. It took me 10 minutes to unbuckle them and then much longer to actually get them buckled on my feet. I had to take breaks, lol. Very frustrating. The front top of the shoe digs into the front of my ankle when I go up and down the stairs. I know these shoes take some breaking in time, but I have no confidence that this would actually happen with these Docs. Thank you Zappos for the free returns.

Really cute but really uncomfortable

Zappos is really an amazing company and although Docs are not made in England, I still feel like they are a durable shoe. These did not work for me because of the buckles. They were impossible to open and close so I know I would not be able to get out the door fast enough with them. As for the fit, they ran a little large. I am a women's size 10 (sometimes a 9 1/2). I tend to order 9s in Docs. Zappos is always my go to. The shipping and delivery is fast and if you have an issue with the product you can even text them to work it out. They never let me down. Just to give you all an idea of what I have that are Dr. Martens.....I own the oxfords, standard boots, wingtip vegans (all unisex sizing, not lady specific shoe) and all are in size 9. It helps that I can remove the insoles too.

I love how these shoes look, so cute, but the buckles are impossible. I know they might loosen up over time and wearing but they are so hard to manipulate. I could hardly get them unbuckled just to try them on!

Shoes ran large and buckle on one shoe was defective and popped off immediately when trying them on. So sad, my daughter was so excited to get these for Christmas, but they didn't fit and the buckle broke immediately. Expected better fit and quality from Dr. Martens at at this price. As a side note, Dr Martens should also offer half sizes.

The leather is so stiff and I’ve been trying to break them in but they remain uncomfortable and unwearable. So disappointed because of the price and how much I wanted them.

The shoes fit and I could tell that they COULD be really comfortable, but the problem was the backs dug into my ankles so badly. I wore them for maybe 5 minutes and it destroyed my ankles. On top of that, they just looked silly. I've ALWAYS wanted a pair of these and I finally got them and they just looked silly and dug into my ankles. I was very disappointed and returned them.

I own a couple pairs of Dr Martens. First pair was bought in about 2005, and were this exact style, in the cordovan/red color. I've worn the soles out on those and figured I should replace them. However, I find these are too small now, in the same size. I'm not sure if my foot has just widened out and I've stretched my old pair out? I have a pair of Dr Marten patent boots from about 2009 that are the same size (UK 5) and while are a touch narrow, still seem to fit my feet. But these were uncomfortably small. I'm sure if I went up a whole size they'd be wide enough but would likely be too long. I did break my 5th metatarsal in the last year so that could have affected my foot width as well. I'm not sure if I'm just too much of a wimp for these now or I just don't have time for shoes that don't fit right anymore. The buckles were harder than I remembered to adjust. I wish these had fit right because there is nothing that looks quite like this shoe out there and I really like how they look. But considering how long these take to break in, I didn't want to risk them still being too narrow and hurting my bad foot, so I sent them back. Bummer :-(

These shoes are so difficult to break in. I had to send them back. They would murder my feet if I kept them! Dr. Martens didn't used to be made this way.

These shoes are plastic, with leather inside. I find the quality disappointing, particularly for the price. I returned these shoes.

Cute classic style but ... Stiff, uncomfortable and impossible to walk in. Marks all over heels and top of foot just trying to break them in walking around the house. Wanted to love them but had to send back.

the buckle strap would not open

These were super cute and fit well except for the buckles. They were hard to undo and I could not re-fasten them, the leather is way too stiff.

Cute shoes, but they feel like you're wearing broken glass bottles. They are so uncomfortable I don't think they would ever break in and you would rip your feet to shreds trying.

Arrived with a broken buckle. We tried to have it repaired, but it broke immediately. Never worn! By the time we figured out it is unfixable, it's too late to return. Docs used to be reliable quality.

Very uncomfortable. I have tried several different style of Dr. Martens and I don't think any of them are for me.

Had a pair of these in high school and loved them, but these felt different. They were so stiff I couldn't get my foot in or unbuckle the buckles. Nearly cut my finger on the leather. Had to return. I have no idea if they fit or not.

These shoes are Impossible to unbuckle to even try on. I worked at it for 20 minutes and gave up. They are super heavy and stiff also. I returned immediately!

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 buckle broke when i was trying on the shoes
