I was hesitant to order shoes over the 'net, but I took a chance with these Dr. Martens, especially since I had to order them in UK sizes. I went on the word of a local shoe salesman who sold Dr. Martens but didn't have this particular style that they all fit the same, so I tried on a pair in the size I needed, then ordered these in that size. When I received them, I could not believe how well they fit! I also have some arch trouble, so I had a good set of orthopedic inserts that cushion my heel and offer arch support, and these Dr. Martens accepted the inserts with no trimming and they still fit perfectly. I oiled them good with some Picard's Shoe Oil, and they were ready to go. I work for Sikorsky Aircraft modifying Blackhawk helicopters, and am on my feet most all of the day, and these Docs did not let me down. It took about 3 days to really break them in, and they felt like I'd had them for years. The thick, soft soles are slip-proof and offer a lot of support for the knees and back, thus helping relieve body fatigue. The overall quality of these shoes is just fantastic. They look great and are very comfortable, even with the steel toe caps.

If you want a comfortable, nice looking safety shoe, these Dr. Martens are what you are looking for. Just remember to order them one size larger than you would normally order because they are in UK sizes.

I have always used hi tec boots for my day to day activities at the job site and I wanted another pair that could be used in social settings as well. This one fits the bill but be aware that it is a lot heavier than normal shoes. It takes a little getting used to this massive shoe but once it's broken in, it's pretty comfortable. If you need a light shoe to walk around this is not it. Well you can walk of course but like I mentioned it's a heavy, high quality, made-to-last shoe.

I've been buying Dr. Martens Steel Toe shoes and boots exclusively for the last 3 years and these are the most comfortable pair I've owned. They are as comfortable as my loafers I wear when I don't need to wear steel toe shoes.

The premium price one pays for Dr. Martens are worth it for 2 reasons:
1) Comfort - I can wear them 12 hours/day and my feet don't ache like they would with other brands.
2) Durability - With other brands, I replace my steel toe shoes/boot about every 6 to 8 months. The Dr. Martens shoes I've owned all last 12+ months.

Nice shoes, very comfortable and the have a nice thick sole that can add an inch or two to short people like me, plus the steel toe is handy in a bar fight.

After going through a few pairs of cheaper "Oxford" style shoe, I decided to spend the money on these for work. I am a manager at a factory, about 50/50 desk vs. on the floor. When I'm on the floor I want oil resistant and steel toe. In the office, something that doesn't look like a workboot. These fit the build, until I wore them every day for the last 6 months. I bought them in July 2011.

Right around Thanksgiving, I had to replace the insoles with Dr. Scholls. Not a big deal, I'm a big guy and usually replace insoles at least once. Now it's January, and the shoes are breaking down. Inside on the sole base, are cracks and wrinkles where the shoe flexes when I walk. I can feel this through the insoles and the shoes are becoming uncomfortable.

The tread is about 60% worn and the leather and lace both seem to be holding up, but the basic construction of the sole is just not what I expected out of a pair of Docs.

I bought these shoes to replace my Sketchers. Needless to say that I'm now sticking w/ Doc Martins and never going back to Sketchers. The soles are hardy and high enough to keep your feet dry when trudging through puddles or snow. All seams are clean and well-sown. The steel toes are nice too for protection (although it makes the shoe somewhat heavy). And the style is great for anything from casual/garage work to business casual. Very versatile. Well done Docs!

these are the most comfortable steel toe shoes i have ever owned. the soles are good & thick, so you can really feel the difference the "bouncing soles" make. definitely worth it. like most DMs these days, they seem to run about a half size or so big (usually wear a US 9.5 to a 10, got a US 9 and it fits perfectly)

Ive been buying this exact shoe model since 2005 I think. They last forever support your foot better than any other shoe Ive ever tried and look great also. This is the only shoe I will ever buy for work, the only problem is they last so long they look beat up by the time I need to replace them so I kind of look like a bum lol.

I put an arch support in here with no problems at all, I can walk all day and night in them and they give me a polished look (when they're newer) whenever I go into a clients home.

Not exactly as i expected down to the last detail but, I am very much satisfied. The delivery was on time, the fit was amazingly accurate and best of all the product was very much impressive. It could even pass as the MRAP of the shoe world!

These are great shoes with the exception of the original insoles. When I first got them they began to hurt my foot and started giving Blisters and thought I just needed to break them in. After replacing the original Insoles with some after market ones the problem went away. These are now really comfortable good looking steel toed shoes that I can wear in and around my Lab.
