They may be called Doc Martens, but the fit and the quality is just not there. They are noticebly shorter in length than any of my older steel toed gibsons, and the toe box is smaller. I love all my older pairs of these, so I bought a new pair because mine are showing a lot of wear. After wearing Doc martens for over 10 years without a complaint, I will NEVER buy another pair of these. CHEAPLY MADE, TIGHT-FITTING JUNK

I've owned a lot of doc martens in my life and I was really disappointed with this shoe. My toes were boxed in really tight and the back of the shoe was so rough and rigid that my heel was rubbed raw within an hour. If you're looking for a long term, comfortable shoe- this isn't it. I went back to my 5-eye padded collar and haven't looked back.

These shoes are gorgeous and I am very happy with them on the whole, just be careful when you first get them. I wore them on a night out with my family the day they came and when I got home, I noticed that the backs of my ankles were tender and, upon inspection, found that it had actually rubbed off some of my skin. (For the record, I was wearing good socks and I did *not* have them laced to tightly.)

So, if you do indeed decide to purchase these, that's great -- I just suggest that you pick up a pair of heel liners first (I found dr scholl's to be very strong and reliable) so that they don't irritate the backs of your ankles. There's no need to suffer if you don't have to!

Other than that little detail, I would have given 5 stars and am glad that I bought them and can dress them up or down -- a fine characteristic of Dr. Martens in the first place.

I had a pair of Doc Martins they lasted me for 3 years they were so comfortable and durable. I needed a pair of steel toe shoes for work so I decided to give them a try they were the worst pair of shoes I've ever had. They blistered my feet and they didnt even last a year. I don't know if Doc Martin just went to a lower quality or what but please don't waste your time on these shoes. Check some of the other shoes with better ratings.
